First pitch from Rogers Centre is scheduled for 7:07 p.m.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WXIMPE3E5NHPRLEAXSVAHDVVOU\">Giolito spent the entire 2024 season on the 60-day IL after undergoing an internal brace procedure to repair a damaged elbow he suffered during spring training. A left hamstring strain that he suffered during his first spring training start put him on the IL to begin this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"LZRHJT26XZHVHNHNTKOI6X6K4E\">Righty Yariel Rodr\u00edguez will make his first start of the season for Toronto. He has made 10 relief outings, posting a 4.63 ERA (11 \u2154 innings, six runs). He started 21 games last year but this is expected to be a bullpen game for Toronto as Rodr\u00edguez hasn\u2019t pitched beyond 2 innings this year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"R2ZAQSCX5VDAZHUCOUKHSXX3UE\">Manager Alex Cora will go with the normal lineup he uses against right-handed starters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GXLOS4BJKFHQHCAPAI72GLQXWM\"><b>BOSTON RED SOX (17-14) @ TORONTO BLUE JAYS (13-16) \u00b7 ROGERS CENTRE \u00b7 TORONTO \u00b7 GAME 32<\/b><\/p>\n<p id=\"RO7627OOMFBV5JV7RRWSROBM2I\"><b>FIRST PITCH<\/b>: 7:07 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p id=\"QC34TRBFNZFKBEKMT5CFNJNNVI\"><b>TV CHANNEL<\/b>: NESN<\/p>\n<p id=\"FNSJSIZB3ZHBBGSLZ4E4G5KA4A\"><b>RADIO<\/b>: WEEI 93.7 FM<\/p>\n<p id=\"GHTFK3MVM5CQDEJMW7WZAOSEKY\"><b>PITCHING PROBABLES<\/b>: RHP Lucas Giolito (2025 debut) vs. RHP Yariel Rodr\u00edguez (0-0, 4.63 ERA)<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZRVBCGIJDFEKJLJ6G3VPEMPNPA\"><b>Red Sox lineup:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Jarren Duran LF<\/li>\n<li>Rafael Devers DH<\/li>\n<li>Alex Bregman 3B<\/li>\n<li>Trevor Story SS<\/li>\n<li>Wilyer Abreu RF<\/li>\n<li>Kristian Campbell 2B<\/li>\n<li>Triston Casas 1B<\/li>\n<li>Ceddanne Rafaela CF<\/li>\n<li>Carlos Narv\u00e1ez C<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>NESN hires former MLB Network, Dodgers reporter to join Red Sox coverage, alt casts<\/li>\n<li>Alex Cora gives \u2018refreshing\u2019 Red Sox player \u2018A+\u2019 for first month<\/li>\n<li>Boston Red Sox roster moves: Lucas Giolito back, lefty to bereavement list<\/li>\n<li>Might Boston Red Sox\u2019 Rafael Devers play 162 games without off day? \u2018S\u00ed\u2019<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox veteran witnessed \u2018one of the best catches I\u2019ve seen in my life\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
