The roster manipulation will be coming to a crescendo relatively soon as Pearce starts his monor league assignment. Barring other injuries , if and when Pearce declares himself ready to go, there is only one likely option---send Marco Hernandez down. Hernandez has acquitted himself ok in a very small sample, but there isn't much of an alternative, unless the Sox go to 12 pitchers. It really becomes a crunch when Mitch Moreland's back into it. That re-addition causes other dominoes to fall, such as Chavis to second base, Holt/Nunez to the bench or vice versa.
Eventually Eovaldi will be back which begs the 12 or 13 pitcher choice again. Josh Taylor or Mike Shawaryn (or both) go back to Pawtucket as the musical chairs continue. With Josh or Mike, the decision will not be as difficult as with the position players. Oh, and Heath Hembree will also be back unless there is some actual UCL concerns, which the team should know, but we won't til it pops.
Then the trade deadline will become the topic as we ease into July in less than two weeks, and especially if the Sox keep closing ground on the Rays and Yankees. Stay tuned.
