The Red Sox — most of them, anyway — kick off a four-game series in Canada tonight behind Nathan Eovaldi (7:07 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market) as fans can only hope a trip across the border wakes up Boston’s bats.
As I’ve alluded to, not everyone on the active roster will be in Toronto, because unvaccinated players are not allowed to cross the Canadian border. Tanner Houck, who has told reporters he is unvaccinated, is out, as is Kutter Crawford, who was placed on the COVID-19 restricted list Monday. That’s all. No point in saying anything else about that on my end, except that Houck’s next turn in the rotation won’t come until Friday at the earliest.
