BOSTON -- The Red Sox, winners of 10 of their last 14 headed into Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, appear to be getting some name-brand reinforcements in their rotation.
In his pregame media availability, Boston manager Alex Cora had good news on the team's injury front, telling reporters that Red Sox ace Chris Sale is scheduled to pitch five innings in a minor-league rehabilitation start on Wednesday in Worcester, Massachusetts. And if all goes well he could be called up next week.
Cora also mentioned that Nathan Eovaldi, the club's Opening Day starter this year, threw two live innings against hitters Tuesday from the Fenway Park mound.
