SP - Seabold
The Red Sox will call up Connor Seabold for the start. It will be his second major league start ever. The 26-year-old rookie has thrown 11 starts for the Triple-A affiliate Woo Sox, where he sports a 2.09 ERA. Also, Baseball America ranked him as the 21st best prospect on the Red Sox farm system, including the 10th best pitcher. He implements a mid-90s fastball, a slider that is in the mid-80s, a changeup that sets down in the low-80s, and a curveball that sits in the mid-70s. Seabold will have some support as the bullpen ranks 14th in team ERA. The offense offers more spice.
* RHP Tanner Houck and OF Jarren Duran are placed on the Restricted List.

Alternatively, he has lasted less than four innings in two of those four starts. Gausman is 1-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts against the Sox in 2022.
