Michael Chavis is not the only Boston Red Sox prospect in the Majors anymore. Travis Lakins has joined him and is trying to make his case for staying long-term.
Lakins has a 4.50 ERA over six innings (three appearances). While the ERA isn’t great, it’s a short sample size. The three runs he’s allowed all came in longer appearances (2 1/3 and 2 2/3 innings). Both of those appearances saw Lakins allow his runs at the tail end, meaning fatigue could have easily been setting in.
So far, he’s looked solid overall on the mound and it would be great to see him get a longer look.
