While Alex Verdugo's time with the New York Yankees may be short-lived, the Boston Red Sox are enjoying the fruits of their trade from December 2023, particularly through the performance of pitcher Greg Weissert, who has a solid 3.00 ERA across 22 appearances. The deal also featured Richard Fitts, a promising prospect who has shown impressive form, recording a 1.74 ERA before unfortunately sustaining a right pectoral strain. Fitts recently showcased his potential in a successful rehab start, striking out two batters in three scoreless innings, and hitting a top speed of 95 mph with his fastball. The Red Sox, however, have faced challenges with their pitching depth this season, struggling to meet expectations with a collective ERA of 4.03, ranking 18th in the league. The return of Fitts could be pivotal in bolstering their rotation as they look to maintain competitive momentum against the Yankees.
