Connelly Early Likely to Start Potential Game 3
Connelly Early is the most likely candidate to start a potential Game 3 of the Wild Card round against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox don't have a ton of viable options right now after Lucas Giolito (elbow) went down. Garrett Crochet is starting Tuesday's game and Brayan Bello has been named as the Game 2 starter. On Tuesday, manager Alex Cora confirmed that Early would likely take the ball if there's a Game 3. The southpaw owns a 2.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and a 29/4 K/BB ratio across four starts. It's not an ideal situation, but Early has pitched well in his handful of starts.
