I'm Cory with the story.

Boston Red Sox pitcher, Yohan Oviato, has led the pack for the 5th starter spot all through

spring training.

The 28-year-old right-hander wrapped up his final tune up before opening day, but admitted

he still does not know if he will break camp with.

The big league team, or what exact role he might fill.

In Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins, Oviato allowed six earned runs on six

hits and two walks over three and one-third innings, contributing to a nine-to-six loss.

Despite that rough outing, he wrapped spring with a 4.91 ERA, a 1.50 whip, and 17 strikeouts

in 14-and.

Two-thirds innings across five starts.

The Red Sox rotation looks set up front with American League-Sai young runner-up, Garrett

Crochet, and three-time all-star Sonny Gray leading off, followed by Brandbello and

Ranger Suarez in the third and fourth slots.

Oviato stays encouraged by his return to full health after past injuries.

Reporters note his next appearance could come as early as Saturday and the team's third

game against the Cincinnati Reds that would signal a quick transition to regular season

action if managers lock him into the mix.

With opening day just days away, Oviato's readiness positions him well to step up wherever

the Red Sox need him most this season.
