The Boston Red Sox are about to have their starting rotation at full strength for the first time this season. Drew Pomeranz will make his 2018 debut on Friday to kick off a weekend series in Oakland.
The left-hander has been deemed ready to return following a rehab start with Double-A Portland. Pomeranz allowed two earned runs over 5 1/3 innings. He gave up four hits, including a home run, walked three and struck out four.
Pomeranz tossed 86 pitches, suggesting he should be ready for close to a full workload when he’s activated from the disabled list.
