"But they are planning for October nonetheless. Alex Cora is reshuffling the rotation for this week's series against the Blue Jays, swapping Brayan Bello's upcoming turn on Wednesday for Garrett Crochet. This move not only gives Bello an extra day of rest down the stretch, but lines up Crochet to start Game One of the Wild Card Series. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)"
"Back in May it seemed unfathomable that, if the Sox made the playoffs, Kristian Campbell wouldn't be a part of it. But Campbell's now been out of the big leagues for three months, and it doesn't appear that he'll make return appearance this week. Campbell is trying to look at this past year as a "redshirt" season while the front office continues to push him to refine his approach at the plate. (Chris Cotillo, MassLive)"
The Red Sox enter the final week of the season without a clinched playoff spot and are preparing roster plans for October. Alex Cora shuffled the rotation to give Brayan Bello an extra day of rest and to position Garrett Crochet to start the Wild Card Series opener. The team blew a chance to create separation but leadership urged calm and focus on the next game. Offense showed signs in Tampa: Ceddanne Rafaela went 6-12, Alex Bregman homered and collected five hits, and Jarren Duran produced quality leadoff at-bats. Kristian Campbell remains out of the majors after three months and views the season as a 'redshirt' year. Last season, Craig Breslow made significant cuts to the scouting department.
