Today on OTM: What will the Red Sox do with their rotation this weekend?
Over the Monster • • sports
Key Points:
- The Red Sox are currently on a hot streak, winning ten of their last twelve games, with four games left before the All-Star break.
- Patrick Sandoval will make his Red Sox debut today, followed by Sonny Gray on Friday, but the rotation faces uncertainty due to Connelly Early's elbow injury and Ranger Suarez's groin issue.
- Suarez has not yet been placed on the injured list but may be shut down until after the All-Star break to ensure full recovery, leaving the team short a starter for Saturday.
- Payton Tolle is scheduled to pitch on Sunday but managing his innings is a concern since he has already exceeded 80 innings this season and has never pitched 120 innings in a year.
- The Red Sox may rely heavily on their rested bullpen for the weekend games and face tough decisions about rotation management, especially against the struggling Mets, with more clarity expected post-All-Star break.
