The Red Sox have confirmed that Sean Newcomb will start against the Rays as they shift from considering an opener. Newcomb's performance has been inconsistent, with a 4.97 ERA over his appearances. As he potentially nears the end of his rotation slot, options like Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito loom as replacements. The team's rotation for the upcoming series against the White Sox remains uncertain, but with several pitchers on the injured list, they may call up alternatives leading into the next phases of their season.
But that won't be the case as lefty Sean Newcomb will take his turn in the rotation, potentially for the final time.
Newcomb made the team as the No. 5 starter behind Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, Walker Buehler and Richard Fitts.
