In ALDS Game 4, the Red Sox will go with Plan B.
Alex Cora's original idea had been to start Nick Pivetta in Monday's game, but the 28-year-old Canadian threw four shutout innings (all in extras) yesterday. Now, Eduardo Rodriguez will return on three days rest, after facing only nine batters and throwing 41 pitches in Game 1 on Thursday night.
Collin McHugh starts for the Rays, but will likely only face the Red Sox lineup once. He has not pitched more than three innings in a game this year. He gave up three runs in 1.
