Red Sox: Doug Fister makes team debut vs Los Angeles Angels

The Boston Red Sox turn to another option to fill the patchwork back of their rotation, as Doug Fister makes his team debut on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels.

This start comes with a revenge narrative for Fister, who was released by the Angels without being given the opportunity to pitch in the majors this season. Boston scooped him up and immediately plugged him into the No. 5 spot in their rotation.

Losing a series at home to an Angels team missing the injured Mike Trout would be disastrous for a Red Sox team that has dropped mere percentage points behind the New York Yankees in a tight division race.
