Red Sox Call Up Pitchers, Shake Up Lineup

0:00On April 3rd, the Boston Red Sox are shaking things up after dropping five straight games and sitting at one and five to start the season. Right before their home opener Friday, at 2.10pm, Eastern, against the San Diego Padres, they called up pitchers Zach Kelly and Tyler Uberstein from Triple A Worcester. One move out is Johann Oviato heading to the injured list with the right elbow strain. He just came over from the Pittsburgh Pirates this off season. Meanwhile, this matchup brings back Zander Bogarts, who left Boston for San Diego back in 2022. Kelly's a 31-year-old heartthroar who's pitched four seasons with the socks, posting an eight-and-six record with a 4.15 ERA. Uberstein, now 26, makes his big league debut after a solid minor league run, 11 and 12, with a 3.54 ERA out of, Northwestern. The lineup has Roman Anthony leading off after a day off, and Sunny Gray takes the mound. Acquired from the Cardinals this winter, he's aiming to rebound after giving up three earned

1:01runs in four innings last time out. Early offense has been rough for Alex Cora's crew. With a small MLB draft bonus pool hurting their farm system rebuild, these tweaks come at a key moment as the socks hunt for momentum right here at Fenway.
