"Garrett Crochet last pitched on April 25th and would be eligible to come off the IL as soon as next Tuesday (although there are reports that he won't be ready that quickly). Regardless of the exact date, the Red Sox are on track to get Crochet, Suarez, and Gray back as the top three guys in the rotation by the second half of the month."
"Is it just Payton Tolle and Connelly Early and that's the end of the conversation? Does Bello get more shots as the bulk guy? Does Jake Bennett impress with his opportunity? The next handful of days could make a huge difference for everybody."
The Red Sox are reassessing their rotation composition as key players return from injury. Sonny Gray has returned to action, and Ranger Suarez appears to be avoiding the injured list. Garrett Crochet is eligible to return from the IL as soon as next Tuesday, though he may need additional time. By late April, the team expects to have Crochet, Suarez, and Gray functioning as their top three rotation starters. This development creates an immediate need to determine the fourth and fifth rotation spots. Candidates include Payton Tolle, Connelly Early, Bello, and Jake Bennett. The upcoming performances of these pitchers will significantly impact their rotation positioning and future opportunities.
