The Red Sox are not getting their season underway here on Thursday in the Bronx against the Yankees as was originally scheduled, as rain got in the way and the game was pushed back to Friday afternoon. But they still had to make their roster official by noon, and there was a little bit of a surprise in there, even if it was mostly set before the deadline anyway. First off, here’s how the roster shakes out in full.
Catchers (2): Christian Vázquez, Kevin Plawecki
Infielders (7): Bobby Dalbec, Trevor Story, Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, Travis Shaw, Christian Arroyo, Jonathan Araúz
Outfielders (4): Alex Verdugo, Enrique Hernández, Jackie Bradley Jr.
