Velazquez to start for Red Sox on Wednesday, Price returning Friday

Share

Hector Velazquez will get the start for the Red Sox in Wednesday's series finale vs the Braves, and David Price is slated for a Friday return at Fenway Park according to manager Alex Cora.

After Price toes the rubber Friday vs the Astros, he'll be followed by Eduardo Rodriguez and Rick Porcello against Houston over the weekend. Nathan Eovaldi will get the start next Tuesday vs the Blue Jays, earning himself some rest after making two starts in three days.

Chris Sale, who remains on the disabled list with left shoulder inflammation, is set for another bullpen session on Saturday and the plan as of today is for him to start as an "opener" next week against either the Blue Jays or Mets.
