The Boston Red Sox are in dire need of added pitching depth, and on Friday, their most recent signee will debut in Triple-A.
Amid a stretch of 27 games in 27 days, the Red Sox have a number of question marks surrounding the pitching staff. Is the fifth starter role locked down? Are there enough lefties in the bullpen? And can anyone hold a lead for more than an inning at a time?
No one truly knows what to expect from Hill, who has built himself up during the off-season to return to the big leagues, but has yet to throw a pitch in a game since October 2023. On Friday, we'll finally be on the way to discovering the answer.to start on the mound for Triple-A Worcester on Friday. The plan is for Hill to make a brief start, with Brad Keller, who has spent some time on the big-league roster this season, to fill in behind him.
“Let’s see what happens,” manager Alex Cora said, per Smith. "There’s no promises, first. Second, role-wise, if it happens, he can start, he can open, he can come in for leverage. First thing’s first, let’s get him back on the mound, back to competing and we’ll go from there.”
