Red Sox Adjust Roster Ahead of Diamondbacks Series

The Boston Red Sox are looking to bolster their pitching staff as they rank seventh in MLB farm system prospects, with potential trades being considered to acquire elite pitchers. Nick Pivetta is set to start in the upcoming double-header against the Blue Jays, while the second starter remains undecided with rookie Richard Fitts potentially sidelined. The Sox's recent performance was disappointing, suffering a 12-2 loss to the Diamondbacks, highlighting issues in both offense and defense. Meanwhile, former target Jordan Montgomery has been demoted to the bullpen after struggling with a 6.44 ERA for Arizona. The Red Sox are currently 3.5 games behind in the Wild Card race and have made roster changes, including bringing back Joely Rodriguez to the bullpen and placing James Paxton on the injured list. The team is under pressure to perform as they face a crucial series against the Diamondbacks.
