The Boston Red Sox are dealing with significant injuries to their starting rotation ahead of Opening Day. Both Brayan Bello and Kutter Crawford are sidelined, while Lucas Giolito faces a low-grade hamstring strain after his first pitch in a spring training game. Manager Alex Cora acknowledges the tough start they face with 15 consecutive games following an off day, but believes the team has more depth this year compared to last. He emphasizes that while they'll be tested from the start, they remain optimistic about the season ahead.
"Obviously, he'll be behind, so I don't see him being on the Opening Day roster. So now the other guys come into play..."
"We will be tested right away, but I think we'll be OK. It's a marathon, as we know. You cannot panic early on..."
