The Red Sox traded Dobbins (knee) to St. Louis on Sunday as part of a package for first baseman Willson Contreras (shoulder), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dobbins had his 2025 campaign cut short when he tore the ACL in his right knee while running to cover first base during a game against the Rays in mid-July. The hurler ultimately underwent surgery and ended the season on the 60-day injured list, though he began a throwing progression in early November and is slated to be ready for the start of spring training. Prior to getting hurt, Dobbins made 13 appearances (11 starts) during his first taste of the majors, posting a 4.13 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 45:17 K:BB across 61 innings. Dobbins could compete for a spot in St. Louis' rotation, but his low-strikeout profile isn't one that typically attracts the attention of fantasy managers.

The Red Sox placed Dobbins on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a torn ACL in his right knee.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox were anticipating a serious injury for Dobbins after his knee forced him out of his start Friday, and they are now faced with the worst-case scenario. The diagnosis will officially put an early end to the 25-year-old's rookie season, and he'll end 2025 with a 4.13 ERA and 1.28 WHIP alongside a 45:17 K:BB through 61 innings. Richard Fitts was promoted from Triple-A in a corresponding move and will take Dobbins' place in Boston's rotation.

EDGE Analysis
Dobbins was dominant and efficient in his first rehab outing, needing 62 pitches (44 strikes) to get through the five innings. The pitch count suggests he could be ready to be activated.
