Red Sox Opening Day Roster

With Thursday’s opener in New York postponed due to rain, the Red Sox had until Thursday at 12pm (ET) to get their Opening Day Roster set. They’ll go with 15 pitchers to start the season as rosters are expanded to 28 until May due to the shortened spring training. No real surprises as Josh Taylor lands on the injury list with his bad back, along with Chris Sale and James Paxton.
