Red Sox Rotation Thinned by Injuries and Delays
The Boston Red Sox have reworked their pitching rotation following the trade deadline, pushing back Dustin May's team debut to Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals to allow for better acclimation. Lucas Giolito is set to pitch Sunday against the Houston Astros, maintaining his regular rest. The Red Sox announced that Patrick Sandoval, an offseason signee, is unlikely to pitch this season or next due to a slow recovery from elbow surgery. Meanwhile, Tanner Houck will undergo Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss the entire 2026 season. Boston's lack of major deadline acquisitions has left their rotation thin compared to rivals like the Astros, who made significant moves. The team's rotation beyond ace Garrett Crochet remains uncertain, raising concerns about depth and competitiveness for the future.
