Red Sox Starter Hunter Dobbins Leaves Game vs. Tampa Bay Due to Right Knee Pain After Put-Out
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 12 – Hunter Dobbins left after awkwardly stepping on first base, raising concerns after just returning from a right elbow injury, having a 4-1 record with a 4.10 ERA this season.
- Hunter Dobbins, the Red Sox’s starting pitcher, exited Friday’s matchup against the Rays early in the second inning after experiencing pain in his right knee while making a defensive play at first base.
- Dobbins had been activated from the 15-day injured list earlier that day after an extended absence due to a strain in his right elbow and was making his first starting appearance since June 20.
- During 1 2/3 innings pitched, the 25-year-old right-hander allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two before leaving with injury after limping back to the mound.
- Dobbins entered the game with a 4-1 record and a 4.10 ERA over his first 12 career starts as an emerging key rotation player, and Jorge Alcala replaced him on the mound.
- The injury raises concern about Dobbins' durability following his previous elbow issue and could impact Boston's pitching depth moving forward.
