It's April 22nd.

Red Sox is scraping the bottom of the barrel for pitching, calling up 22-year-old Lefty

Eduardo Rivera from AA for tonight's game ad.

Fenway.

He's their 33rd ranked prospect, never thrown a single major league inning, but crushed

it in two starts down below.

This makes him the fifth Sox pitcher debuting this season already.

Fading depth took another hit with Cutter Crawford shut down again after an elbow MRI last week.

No structural damage showed up, but he sideline once more, leaving Chief Baseball Officer

Craig Breslow with few options.

Fans are fuming over the offense, though, which couldn't score a run last night against

the pitcher sporting an ERA above seven.

Early season numbers look rough across the board for Boston's bats.

That limp attacks things extra hard facing the Yankees, who stacked a line up with the

exact power of the Sox Crave, but can't find.

Rivera's arrival might patch one whole short term, but until the bats wake up, these

Red Sox stay in a tough spot, heading into the summer grind.
