Kutter Crawford left his Worcester debut with a line of 6 IP, 9 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K.
@WooSox trail 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning. Crawford is currently 52nd on the #SP60.

Richards' second pitch was 97.6 mph (poorly located, middle-middle resulting in a Springer double). It was indeed the hardest he's thrown a pitch this year.
Green's dad said they'd need more than that to sign him.
I agree that they should sign Hickey and Niko and offer Jud whatever is left. If he doesn't take it? Bye bye bye bye...

Cora says Bogaerts will play in the second game of the doubleheader today
So he should DH in game 1.
Kike SS
Duran CF
JD LF
Devers 3B
Xander DH
Renfroe RF
Vaz/Plawecki C
Chavis 2B
Dalbec 1B
I would still start Duran even against Robbie Ray. Duran hit well against LHP in AAA. He replaces Plawecki.
Is Xander out for both games today?
The bench bats of Chavis/Cordero/Plawecki leave something to be desired. I would have called up Arauz and DFA'd Workman.
