John Farrell names Chris Sale Game 1 starter, but roster remains unclear

Chris Sale will start Game 1 of the American League Division Series.

Beyond that most obvious bit of information, Red Sox manager John Farrell offered no further details about his plans for the playoff roster, the starting lineup, the rest of the Red Sox rotation, or the last few spots in the bullpen.

There’s still a lot to decide, and three more days to make those decisions.

“Eduardo Nunez is probably the main one,” Farrell said. “And he took live BP here today, ran the bases, take some groundball work again. We’d like to get him into a simulated game situation, likely on Tuesday.
