Red Sox Plan Rockies Series With Uncertain Pitcher Availability

The Boston Red Sox are navigating pitching challenges and prospects as they approach the postseason. Garrett Crochet, their ace left-hander, has struggled recently, including a rough outing surrendering seven earned runs and four homers, putting his performance under scrutiny before critical playoff games. Dustin May is set to return to the rotation soon, while rookie Payton Tolle's future starts remain uncertain due to cautious workload management. The Red Sox boast a strong pitching pipeline with prospects like Tyler Uberstine and Shane Drohan showing promise in Triple-A, though decisions loom regarding Uberstine's Rule-5 Draft eligibility and Drohan’s potential MLB debut. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies, already eliminated from playoff contention, are focusing on avoiding historic losses and improving veteran pitcher Antonio Senzatela's performance down the season's stretch. These developments highlight the contrasting team dynamics as the MLB season nears its conclusion.
