Live blog: 2019 Red Sox Opening Day

The Red Sox open their first homestand of the 2019 MLB season Tuesday at 2:05 p.m. against the Blue Jays. Chris Sale (0-2) is expected to start for the Sox, while Matt Shoemaker (2-0) will take the mound for Toronto.

Here’s the latest on the game:

Craig Kimbrel will not attend ceremonies at Fenway Park to receive his 2018 World Series championship ring, according to WBZ.

Red Sox CEO and team president Sam Kennedy told WBZ that Kimbrel, who remains an unsigned free agent, feels his attendance may create a distraction for his teammates.
