"Yes, Connelly Early is now one of the several prospects who has knocked on the door down to the Major Leagues within 12 months of playing in Portland. In fact, his first start in Triple-A Worcester came just 37 days ago, and he lasted just 3 2/3 innings. But, in the very next start, the same confidence Early showed in Portland throughout 2025 shone through in a seven-inning performance."
"Although he gave up just five hits and struck seven out in his five innings of work, two of those five hits were home runs, and the last of the scoring in this contest came with the second home run, making this a 3-2 game. The WooSox's best chance to put some damage on the board came from two consecutive hits to open the inning up in the top of the third, when Seby Zavala's triple drove in Corey Rosier,"
Connelly Early moved from Portland to Triple-A Worcester within a year and made a brief first start before delivering a seven-inning outing and a late-night five-inning performance with 11 strikeouts. The late rise mirrors several prospects reaching the Major League window swiftly. Jose De Leon retained a Worcester rotation spot, allowing five hits and striking out seven over five innings but surrendering two homers that produced the decisive runs in a 3-2 game. Seby Zavala's triple drove in Corey Rosier in the third for Worcester's offense. Portland's lineup lacks depth beyond Franklin Arias and Miguel Bleis, and Arias has a six-game hit streak since promotion and eight games overall.
