ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Boston Red Sox injury updates, playoff roster decisions, and the latest on Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, Johan Oviedo, Curtis Mead, Brayan Bello, and more.
In this episode, Jake is joined by Baseball Isn’t Boring host and Red Sox reporter Rob Bradford to break down the latest injury news surrounding the Boston Red Sox and discuss how returning players could be used for the remainder of the regular season and during the MLB playoffs.
We start with the latest updates on Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, and Johan Oviedo. All three pitchers are working their way back from injuries, and Rob explains what he expects their roles to look like when they return and how the Red Sox could manage their workloads heading into the postseason.
The conversation then turns to Curtis Mead, who is also working toward a return. Rob discusses where Mead could fit on the Red Sox roster, whether he can realistically challenge for the starting second base job, and how much time he may have to prove himself before the playoffs.
Brayan Bello is also a major part of the discussion after returning to the mound as a starter. Jake and Rob break down how the Red Sox could use Bello down the stretch and whether he could eventually replace someone like Patrick Sandoval in the starting rotation.
We also discuss the latest on Adley Rutschman's lingering elbow injury and what the Red Sox should consider when managing players with injuries or health concerns before the playoffs.
Finally, Rob shares what he's noticed about the Red Sox throughout their incredible turnaround this season, including how the team has changed and how Craig Breslow has evolved while leading the organization.
