"The Red Sox will promote pitching prospect Connelly Early to make his major league debut tonight versus the A's, as first reported by Foul Territory. Katie Morrison-O'Day of MassLive.com noted earlier in this week that Early, a 2023 fifth-round pick, was scratched from his start at Triple-A Worcester because the Sox wanted him to be ready if the big league club had a need this week. MassLive's Chris Cotillo wrote yesterday that Early was "very much in play" to make his MLB debut within the next couple of days."
"Early isn't on the 40-man roster, so Boston will need to make corresponding transactions to open space on both the active and 40-man rosters. Righty Dustin May will head to the injured list to open an active roster spot, per Foul Territory and Cotillo. More to come."

Early was "very much in play" to make his MLB debut within the next couple of days. Early is not on the 40-man roster, so Boston must create space on both the active and 40-man rosters. Right-hander Dustin May will be placed on the injured list to open an active roster spot. More roster details are expected.
