Kevin Pillar Leading Off Against Yankees

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kevin Pillar is leading off in the team's contest versus Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery on Friday.

Still No Timetable For Eduardo Rodriguez

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke addressed Eduardo Rodriguez's status on Thursday, but it wasn't necessarily good news. "We still don't have an answer as to when he can start up.
