The Red Sox are currently 5 games off of the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays and it should be less. The Sox have suffered back to back losses to the Astros that has killed the momentum they had coming into the series. With the heartbreaking loss on Friday night and an embarrassment of a game on Saturday, it’s time to re-evaluate the roster.
Hector Velazquez has been bumped from the bullpen to the starting rotation due to the injuries to David Price and Nathan Eovaldi. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to step up and give the Red Sox the chances they need.
