Connelly Early strikes out six in Red Sox debut
by Bruno Mulé | Red Sox Correspondent | Mon, Mar 30th 9:31am EDT
Early posted a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 29:4 K:BB across 19.2 major-league innings in 2025 and carried that form into his 2026 debut Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings on 96 pitches. He exited in the sixth with a 2-0 lead and a runner on first before Greg Weissert came on and surrendered a three-run homer.
Fantasy Impact:
Early generated seven swinging strikes and did not factor into the decision in the 3-2 loss. He lines up for a home start against the Padres next weekend.
