Red Sox News & Links: Sox call up pitching prospect Eduardo Rivera
"Eduardo Rivera, the 33rd ranked Sox prospect according to Soxprospects.com, will be with the Sox for tonight's game in Fenway. The 22-year-old lefty dominated in two starts this season, but it's unclear at this point whether the Sox will use him in the bullpen or rotation."
"Part of the reason why the Sox pitching depth doesn't look as strong as it once did is because Kutter Crawford hasn't been able to find himself back on a mound. Crawford made one outing last week before going in for an MRI on his elbow."
"But right now pitching is far from the biggest issue facing the Sox. The Sox failed to score against a pitcher who came into last night's game with an ERA over 7."
The Red Sox are struggling with pitching depth, turning to Eduardo Rivera, a 22-year-old AA pitcher, for support. Rivera will be the fifth pitcher to debut this year. Kutter Crawford's return is uncertain due to elbow issues, while Payton Tolle remains in limbo for a potential call-up. Despite these pitching concerns, the team's offense is a significant issue, failing to score against a struggling pitcher, highlighting the need for a stronger lineup to compete effectively.
