Hunter Dobbins started his rehab off on a high note with a strong start on Saturday for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs.
The Boston Red Sox starter racked up eight strikeouts, allowed just two hits, one earned run and didn’t surrender a walk in five innings pitched. Forty-four of Dobbins’ 62 pitches were strikes. He also had 14 whiffs.
It’s unclear what’s next for Dobbins. Manager Alex Cora said he wasn’t sure how long the pitcher’s rehab assignment would be.
The Red Sox placed Dobbins on the 15-day injured list in June due to a right elbow strain. He could be activated prior to the MLB All-Star break.
In 12 appearances (10 starts) for the Red Sox, Dobbins has a 4-1 record and 4.10 ERA.
