No rotation for sure beyond Eovaldi right now.
But Houck or Pivetta for Saturday or Sunday and Richards for Sunday or Monday. Perez on Tuesday.
@TomCaron
Sox using what Cora calls "final alignment" of outfield today. Verdugo in left with Hernández in center and Renfroe in right. "We want to see how this one works," said Cora. #RedSox

Eduardo Rodriguez threw a bullpen but Cora admits he’s running out of time in his progression. An IL stint for him is likely
Cora has said that Pivetta will probably start next Tuesday, Richards to start Sunday or Monday. Andriese will be in the bullpen for now.
@ChrisCotillo
Barring something unforeseen, Red Sox will be making two moves to finalize their Opening Day roster:
* Chavis expected to be optioned, as Cordero is ready
* Final bullpen spot down to Brewer vs. Valdez
Brasier to IL, too. Sounds like Vázquez will be good to go. E-Rod to IL is possible, I guess, but not sure.
No new news then.
@ChrisCotillo
Whitlock, McCarthy and Andriese were among those held out of camp due to contact tracing. Sure seems like Richards was, too, though not confirmed. All now cleared.
@alexspeier
Cora confirms Matt Barnes has been cleared by the COVID-19 Joint Committee, and Sox expect to be at full strength for the start of the season.
Hell yeah dude.

Here's a story on the memo MLB and the MLBPA sent to clubs today about Covid protocols.
Amongst other things, players will be able to play video games together in the clubhouse again if 85% of Tier 1 gets vaccinated.
Clubhouse going wild right now.
@Joelsherman1
Matt Barnes was ruled to have a non-infectious positive for COVID-19 and is back in camp, and so are all #RedSox players who were considered close contacts.
@SoxProspects
Another quick inning for Tanner Houck including some revenge on Ozzie Albies via the 6th strikeout of his outing. He's allowed two hits and has yet to allow a walk through four innings. Control had previously been Houck's most noticeable difficulty of the Spring.
