The Red Sox are calling up pitcher Chris Murphy to make his major league debut this week.
According to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo, the 25-year-old Murphy will be placed on the active roster on Tuesday, ahead of Boston’s series opener with Cleveland Tuesday night.
At AAA this year, Murphy has made 10 appearances, nine of which were starts, and has a 7.71 ERA.
While Murphy has been a starter for the majority of his minor league career, it’s unclear how the Red Sox intend to use the lefty initially. As of Tuesday, Boston does not have a starting pitcher set for their matchup with Cleveland on Wednesday or Thursday.
