Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed the team’s latest starting rotation update, and (for now) it doesn’t include Corey Kluber.
Garrett Whitlock’s imminent return from injury will force a reshuffling of the current group. After Tanner Houck’s most recent start (allowing just one run in six innings in the eventual 2-1 loss to the Angels on Monday), Boston leadership decided to keep him in that role.
“We were waiting for Tanner to see how he felt after his start,” Cora told WEEI on Wednesday. “We’re going to make a change. Actually Tanner is going to start on Sunday and Corey is going to go to the bullpen starting on Friday.
