The Boston Red Sox are beginning a three-game series in Tampa Bay after a victorious series against the White Sox. Tanner Houck and Walker Buehler are set to pitch the first two games; however, there’s uncertainty regarding who will start the final game. Alex Cora hinted at possible changes to the plan concerning Sean Newcomb, who has struggled early this season. Despite injuries impacting the pitching roster, a creative solution may be on the table as the team aims for consecutive wins.
"We'll talk about it," Cora told reporters, per The Boston Globe. "Sean is in line to pitch that game. In what role we don't know yet."
Even though the Red Sox aren't exactly flush with pitching depth at the moment due to injuries, it still wouldn't be surprising if Cora elects to tackle the finale at Tropicana Field in a different way.
