  • Kyle Harrison SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Kyle Harrison: In line for another start

    Harrison is slated to start Friday's game against the Tigers in Boston.

The southpaw will be rewarded with another turn through the rotation Friday, and another strong showing could help his case for earning a spot on Boston's postseason roster, should the Red Sox clinch a playoff spot.
