"The Sox decided that both Early and Oviedo would head to Cincinnati to help protect the rotation in the early going, especially in light of the fact Ranger Suárez has thrown only 9.1 innings between the World Baseball Classic and Grapefruit League."
"Carrying an extra starter obviously means that the Sox will carry one fewer reliever. It's Zack Kelly who draws the short end of the roster stick and will head to Worcester, along with newcomer Tommy Kahnle, who is still getting back up to big league speed."
"The back of the rotation remains unsettled, the front end is as solid as can be thanks to Garrett Crochet. He's so good that even Pedro Martinez sees some parallels between Crochet's career and his own."
"Marcelo Mayer, who has been held to account by the Sox coaching staff and vets like Trevor Story all spring, is not necessarily in the same position as Roman Anthony, who hasn't received the same tough love treatment."
The Red Sox have decided to include both Connelly Early and Johan Oviedo in their starting rotation, addressing concerns about Ranger Suárez's limited innings. This decision means the team will carry one fewer reliever, impacting Zack Kelly and newcomer Tommy Kahnle, who will head to Worcester. Injury issues are also affecting the bullpen, particularly with Danny Coloumbe's wrist. Garrett Crochet is a standout pitcher, drawing comparisons to Pedro Martinez, while Marcelo Mayer is receiving guidance from the coaching staff and veterans.
