I don’t think this is the roster anyone envisioned come May 8th.
Craig Breslow has been thrown for quite a loop with long-term injuries plaguing the Red Sox club house. Trevor Story: done for the season. Triston Casa: on the 60-day IL. Masataka Yoshida: TBD as he gets a second opinion on his thumb. Multiple starting pitchers on the schneid: Nick Pivetta (who returns this evening), Brayan Bello (who ostensibly is returning Sunday, bar any setbacks), and Garrett Whitlock (who is throwing live BP Friday). What has separated Breslow from his predecessor is his willingness to bring in outside talent to fill those holes.
