Bobby Dalbec isn’t actually going to be an up-the-middle option for the Red Sox, right? RIGHT?!?! (Julian McWilliams, Boston Globe)
Dalbec, of course, has been forced into this situation by injury. And so far, injuries are determining a lot about the Red Sox opening day roster. (Chad Jennings, The Athletic)
But even with all the injuries, it’s increasingly looking like Jarren Duran doesn’t have a spot on the team at this time. (Gio Rivera, NESN)
Meanwhile, the rotation is set (for now). We’re looking at Corey Kluber, Chris Sale, Tanner Houck, Kutter Crawford, and Nick Pivetta, with Josh Winckowski starting the year in the bullpen.
