With the Red Sox’s starting rotation still slightly shorthanded, Boston may look to one of their top prospects to step into the role.
Manager Alex Cora said the Sox are considering Darwinzon Hernandez to start Tuesday’s contest against the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park, per MassLive’s Christopher Smith.
Hernandez made his major league debut against the Detroit Tigers on April 23, giving up four hits and one walk over 2 1/3 innings of work. He is 1-4 with a 5.13 ERA in 10 outings for Double-A Portland in 2019, with batters hitting just .217 against him.
