BOSTON -- Right-handed pitching prospect Chance Adams will make his first Major League start at Fenway Park on Saturday as the Yankees face the Red Sox, manager Aaron Boone said Friday.
The game is a high-pressure one for an MLB debut, but Boone said he is confident that Adams can handle the intensity of the rivalry.
"As we've seen with a lot of our guys, they've come up and been able to handle these situations," Boone said. "And I think it's a tribute to our player development in our organization for preparing these guys for what it is like to come up and pitch in the fire.
