I’m doing my best Britney Spears impression today because Michael “Waka Waka” Wacha is making his first start since suffering some soreness in his left side that forced him to abandon a scheduled start on May 8. He was put on the 15-day injured list and upon his return, the Red Sox optioned Ryan Braiser to Worcester.
As far as the defense behind him and the lineup goes, things look pretty normal for the Sox as they get set for the second of a four-game series against the Mariners, but there are a couple of minor things to note.
