Fitts will start Friday's game against the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Tanner Houck (shoulder) was originally slated to start Friday, his first outing since he faced the Mets on Sept. 4, but it appears the right-hander is not yet ready to return to the mound. Fitts impressed in his major-league debut Sunday, albeit against the lowly White Sox, giving up two unearned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two across 5.2 innings while not factoring into the decision.
