Pitches six scoreless
PBoston Red Sox
May 10, 2025
Dobbins didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Kansas City, allowing five hits and striking out six batters over six scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.
ANALYSIS
Dobbins nearly allowed the Royals to score in the fifth inning after allowing a one-out triple to Kyle Isbel, but a classic 6-2-5-4 double play in the following at-bat allowed the 25-year-old righty to remain blemish-free on the day. With a 2.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 22.2 innings through his first four starts, Dobbins has certainly performed well enough to deserve a spot in Boston's rotation, but whether he makes his next scheduled start against the Tigers on Wednesday will likely depend on the health of Walker Buehler (shoulder).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Returning to big leagues soon?
PBoston Red Sox
April 30, 2025
According to Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, Dobbins has been pushed back from his scheduled start Wednesday in case the Red Sox need some rotation help in the next few days.
ANALYSIS
Boston doesn't currently have any injuries in the rotation, but Brayan Bello is on the bereavement list and will be away from the team for at least a few days. Dobbins made his first two MLB starts earlier this season and pitched well with a 2.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB across 11 innings, but there will likely need to be a rotation injury for him to get an extended look as a big-league starter. If he's not called up by the Red Sox, the 25-year-old could start for Worcester on Saturday.
