Payton Tolle to Start on Wednesday Against A's
Payton Tolle will make the start on Wednesday in Sacramento against the hosting Athletics, according to manager Alex Cora. It will be Tolle's first time pitching on four days of rest this year, so Cora said the team will limit his pitch count. Left-hander Kyle Harris is also expected to join the BoSox and make his debut with the club on Wednesday, possibly as the bulk reliever behind Tolle. The 22-year-old southpaw will be making only his third major-league start and will not be a recommended streamer after surrendering five earned runs on five hits (two homers) while walking four and striking out two in just three innings in his latest start in Boston against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sept. 5. MLB Pipeline has Tolle ranked as the team's No. 2 prospect, behind only shortstop Franklin Arias.
