Boston may soon see the return of their fiery pitcher to the mound, with indications pointing towards a near comeback. Despite grappling with injuries this season, the Red Sox have remarkably maintained their success, boasting one of the strongest starting rotations in baseball. Currently, three key starters, Brayan Bello, Nick Pivetta, and Garrett Whitlock, are sidelined due to injuries, while the absence of Lucas Giolito further complicates matters. Nevertheless, the Red Sox have persevered, holding third place in the American League East with an 18-15 record. Encouragingly, Pivetta is expected to make his return next week against the Atlanta Braves, according to reports from MassLive.com’s Christopher Smith. Pivetta’s imminent comeback is a promising development for Boston fans, considering his stellar performance before his stint on the Injured List, boasting a 0.82 ERA and an impressive 13-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio across two starts. If he can replicate this level of play upon his return, the Red Sox stand to benefit greatly. Despite the challenges posed by injuries, Boston has navigated through the season adeptly, and with reinforcements on the horizon, the road ahead looks brighter for the team.
