Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber beat the shift to lead off the bottom half of the first inning during Monday night’s game against the Brewers.

BOSTON - The Red Sox’ thin starting pitching depth is being tested two weeks into the season. Lefty Brian Johnson is set to make his 2017 Red Sox debut on Tuesday in Toronto in place of Eduardo Rodriguez, who was placed on the paternity list Monday for the birth of his second child. Righty reliever Ben Taylor was added in place of Rodriguez on Monday, but his stay is likely to be short with Johnson joining the team Tuesday. Johnson’s one of the top depth options the Sox have next to Kyle Kendrick, whose minor league season has not had a stellar beginning. Johnson, unlike Kendrick, can be freely moved between the major leagues and the minors. Johnson was in major league camp in spring training Continue to Article
