Incredible performance by José De León in his first MLB appearance since 2023. This was the longest outing of his MLB career and only the second time he’s thrown 6 innings or more. Remarkably, the other time was his MLB debut for the Dodgers, all the way back in September 2016.

Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito’s stuff was down across the board that inning. Every pitch was down at least 2 mph compared to his season average. Something to monitor as this outing goes on.

Really impressive outing from Red Sox LHP Kyle Harrison: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. 86p/60s. Ability to locate fastball was the key. FB zone% & whiff% were both higher than during his time in Worcester. That efficiency allowed him to work 6 innings for the first time since 7/22.

Red Sox OF Jhostynxon Garcia was removed from the game after the bottom of the 4th here in Worcester. He beat out an infield 1B & then went first to third, but didn’t come out in the top of the 5th. Didn’t notice anything when he was running the bases, but something to monitor.

Payton Tolle hasn’t thrown more than 72 pitches since June 28th, so it’s understandable to see him tire in the 6th. Still a very impressive major league debut: 5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K. 84p/51s. 14 whiffs: 9 fastball, 2 cutter, 2 changeup, 1 slider.

The development of Payton Tolle’s cutter this year has been remarkable. When I saw him in spring he didn’t even throw it & in Greenville it blended w/his slider. Fast forward a few months & he has the confidence in it to use it twice to start an AB w/2 runners in scoring position

Dominant outing from Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle tonight: 5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. 63p/45s. FB 95-98, CT 88-91, CH 88-90, SL 84-87, CB 83-84. 12 whiffs: 5 FB, 3 CT, 2 SL, 2 CH. Best I’ve seen his secondaries look this year. Had everything working. Showed why he’s in contention for an MLB call up.

Payton Tolle strikes out the side in the 3rd, after striking out the last 2 batters in the 2nd. He’s has 6 Ks total w/the only hit an infield 2B. FB up to 98.6 & showing best cutter I’ve seen from this year. Also missed bats w/his SL & CH. Here’s an 87 mph SL to end the 3rd.

New Red Sox OF Jhostynxon Garcia has a power over hit profile w/considerable impact ability. Definite contact questions, mostly vs. RHP, but he crushes LHP (.964 OPS in ‘25/1.186 in ‘24). W/Refsnyder on the IL he could fill that role. Full scouting report: soxprospects.com/players/garc...
