This isn’t overly surprising, but it is worth noting with Lucas Giolito (elbow) out for this series. The Red Sox will likely turn to Early to start Game 3, if there is one, but both Harrison and Tolle remain options and could also provide bulk relief in Game 2 if Brayan Bello were to struggle.

Tolle topped out at 99.7 mph in his first inning of work, though his velocity in innings two and three was pretty close to where he was a starter. He wound up getting 12 whiffs on 30 swings in 50 pitches. Since it was an extended outing, he certainly won’t be available again before Sunday, if then.

Kyle Harrison will be inserted into Boston’s rotation mix this weekend against the Rays. The decision doesn’t come as a total surprise since the Red Sox are prioritizing limiting Tolle’s workload down the home stretch in an effort to keep him healthy for the future. The 22-year-old southpaw has already eclipsed 100 innings in his professional debut after throwing just a shade over 80 last year in his final collegiate campaign. The move puts a damper on his immediate fantasy appeal, but it’s probably the right move for his future.

Tolle is an option for Red Sox manager Alex Cora out of the bullpen for at least the first two games of the mid-week series against the Athletics.

The Red Sox said before the game that Tolle, pitching on four days’ rest of the first time, would go just once around the lineup today, and that’s what happened. Unfortunately, he gave up homers to Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz along the way. Tolle could make his next start Tuesday against the A’s, but Connelly Early might be Boston’s choice instead. Since the Red Sox have Thursday and Monday off, perhaps Tolle could make a relief appearance before starting again,

Cora added that Tolle won’t draw the starting assignment for Wednesday’s series finale. The 22-year-old top prospect figures to be part of the mix after surrendering five runs over three innings on Friday in a loss to the Diamondbacks. There’s plenty of strikeout upside here for fantasy purposes, but it sounds like Tolle is going to have some clear workload restrictions over the final three weeks.

Tolle had issues finding the strike zone, as he issued four walks and threw just 46-of-77 pitches for strikes. The command and control were both off, as he also allowed a pair of homers and didn’t get ahead of hitters for the overwhelming majority of the start. The 22-year-old looked solid against the Pirates; this was far less impressive. It happens. Tolle still offers some upside when he faces off against the A’s on Wednesday in Sacramento.
