Loaisiga went on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, when the Yankees were in Houston, and he did not travel home with the team Sunday. So that would increase our number to six, but we're not at six yet. We’ll wait now for the lab tests to come back, which I’m assuming is going to be positive, as well. “We have three positives and we have three pending that we’ve had rapid tests on. It has spread to some degree," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “It’s a fluid situation that could spread. Some guys, I need them to be able to cover the second inning through the rest of the game, but others, maybe that eases them a little bit and we’re able to have more quality outings.NEW YORK (AP) - The Yankees' post-All-Star break opener against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night was postponed because of positive COVID-19 tests among vaccinated New York pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr. “Some guys have opened up, some guys are long and so we’ve tried to make that a little easier for them, so mentally they’ll be prepared for more of a role when they come in, so some guys I told won’t have that role. That’s why I wanted to talk to the pitchers today because it is different and we put some different requirements on some of the guys that instead of having defined roles, which I told them I’d try to do a little better on that, but we mix guys up a lot. “We had five starters that we thought were really good and that makes a difference. “It was a different group,” Roenicke said of the 2019 team. But Roenicke doesn’t have that luxury this season as he tries to put the puzzle pieces together on what fits, and where he can put his players in the best position to succeed. Last season, the Red Sox had five clear-cut starters and roles were easier to define. With the state of the staff as it’s constituted, the Red Sox are barely capable of competing for a playoff spot if both of them are pitching well, let alone when one or both has a poor outing, like Eovaldi had Saturday as he gave seven runs, included three home runs, in the loss. It leaves almost no margin for error for Eovaldi and Perez. The Red Sox are 1-11 this season when anyone else starts. 4 starter in the rotation before David Price was traded, and Perez, an offseason pickup, are being relied upon to produce quality starts whenever they’re on the mound.
YANKEES RED SOX PITCHERS PATCH
With Chris Sale and Eduardo Rodriguez lost for the season, the Red Sox have just two starters they expected to enter the season with in Eovaldi and Martin Perez, and Roenicke is doing his best to patch together the rest with journeymen and guys who were supposed to be depth pieces.Įovaldi, originally the No. Our taxi squad, when you make quality pitches, you get people out, so it’s just trying to repeat those pitches and anyway, it’s just tough when you send Nate (Eovaldi) out there and he gets hit and just, it’s hard.” It’s no different here than in the minor leagues. “Just being themselves and making pitches.

“I just gathered them together and trying to ease some of the, I don’t know if you call it stress, or what you call it, but just tried to ease their minds a little bit and try to free them up and to not press,” Roenicke said. But the manager hoped the meeting could help a struggling staff that’s now given up 63 runs in six games in the long run.
The Red Sox lost their sixth in a row in an 11-5 defeat to their rivals, which marked the first time in franchise history they allowed eight or more runs in six consecutive games.
The meeting didn’t yield immediate results.
In the midst of a historically bad week of pitching, Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke, doing everything he can to correct the struggles, held a meeting with his pitching staff at Yankee Stadium before Saturday night’s game against the Yankees.
