Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in August of 2025.
Next start coming Friday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Tolle will start Friday's game against the Diamondbacks in Arizona, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis
Tolle would have been available to take the hill Wednesday against the Guardians on four days' rest, but because he's received at least five days of rest ahead of every appearance this season, the Red Sox weren't yet ready to deviate from that plan. Cora said that the Red Sox envision Tolle continuing to start games in September, so it looks like he'll be a regular part of the rotation moving forward after turning in a promising MLB debut this past Friday against the Pirates. In that outing, Tolle punched out eight batters and induced 14 swinging strikes on 84 pitches while limiting the Pirates to two earned runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line to see major-league action?
Tolle is a candidate to make his major-league debut for the Red Sox in 2025, per Sam Dykstra and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com.
Analysis
Tolle, who started the season in High-A Greenville, was promoted to Triple-A Worcester in early August after a brief stint in Double-A Portland. The 22-year-old southpaw has tossed 86.2 innings across all three levels while posting a 12.9 K/9 over that span. As of right now, there hasn't been any discussion between Tolle and the Worcester coaching staff about a move to the bullpen ahead of a potential MLB call-up. However, it's worth noting that Walker Buehler has been moved from the Red Sox's rotation to the bullpen for the rest of the season, so there could be a fit in the rotation.
