"Connelly Early struck out 16 while allowing only four runs (three earned) over 17 innings this spring, showcasing his potential as a reliable pitcher for the Red Sox."
"Johan Oviedo, acquired from the Pirates, pitched 11 1/3 innings of two-run ball this spring, but struggled with command, issuing six walks and hitting a batter."
"Both Early and Tolle are rookie eligible and meet the prospect criteria for the Prospect Promotion Incentive, indicating their importance to the team's future."
Connelly Early has made the Red Sox Opening Day roster, while Payton Tolle has been optioned to minor league camp. Johan Oviedo will also be on the active roster. Early and Tolle both debuted late last season, with Early showing success this spring by striking out 16 in 17 innings. Oviedo, acquired from the Pirates, pitched well but struggled with command. The Red Sox may use a tandem start or have Oviedo work from the bullpen to avoid a six-man rotation.
