Pitcher who starred for Sea Dogs this season to make MLB debut with Red Sox, reports say
- The Boston Red Sox called up left-handed pitching prospect Connelly Early to start their game against the Athletics on September 9, 2025, in Sacramento.
- Early's promotion followed multiple injuries to Red Sox starting pitchers, including Dustin May going on the injured list, creating urgent rotation needs.
- Early, a 23-year-old from Virginia, was a fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft and rose through Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester with strong performances in 2025.
- He posted a combined record of 10-3 with a 2.60 ERA, recorded 132 strikeouts, and maintained a WHIP of 1.106 across just over 100 innings pitched, earning him the No. 6 prospect spot in Boston’s system according to MLB Pipeline.
- Early's call-up adds depth amid ongoing rotation concerns and offers him a chance to compete for a regular role as the Red Sox approach the postseason.
