TBD vs Yarbrough
Haven't seen who the Sox plan on starting tonight. They optioned Weber and I guess the guy they call up from the player pool will start. Johnson? Hart? IDK.
Well, they called up Covey, so maybe he's the opener for a bullpen game? Weber would have pitched on Wednesday so maybe they'll have Hart/Johnson/Houck start then?
The Red Sox have yet to announce who will open Monday. The decision will be based on who pitches out of the bullpen Saturday and Sunday.
“That can certainly change on what happens with those games,” Roenicke said. “We know who we want to start Monday. We just may need to use that guy before.”
Brewer and Covey were the only guys not to pitch this weekend.
According to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, the Reds have submitted a plan to the state of Ohio and MLB to have "a percentage" of fans return to Great American Ballpark this season.
Rosecrans reports an email sent to seasonal employees on Sunday night indicates the plan has already been approved by the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. He adds a source told him fans likely wouldn't be able to return until September at the earliest or the playoffs should the Reds advance.
That past Rays-Yanks series really pissed me off. Feels weird to root for the Sox but I hope your guys pound em.
Red Sox released Brian Johnson. Oh no!
