The Boston Red Sox are calling up right-hander Hunter Dobbins from Triple-A Worcester to serve as the 27th man for their doubleheader against the Cardinals. Dobbins, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 following his selection in the draft, has impressed in the minors with a 3.88 ERA and a solid strikeout rate. He has primarily served as a starter but will work from the bullpen in his debut. Baseball America lists him as the 11th-best prospect in Boston's system due to his strong pitching arsenal and successful rehabilitation.
Dobbins was selected in the eighth round of the 2021 draft, despite undergoing Tommy John surgery that year. His recovery delayed his pro debut until 2022.
Over 311 career innings in the minors, Dobbins boasts a 3.88 ERA, 23.8% strikeout rate, and a solid walk rate of 7.94%.
Ranked as the 11th-best prospect in Boston's farm system by Baseball America, Dobbins possesses a five-pitch arsenal and can hit 98 mph with his fastball.
