After - AA - Richmond @ Portland (game 2)

Not the most hard throwingest slate of starters. Let me figure out who is probably starting for Portland. For example, the day will be a lot more interesting if it's Wikelman + Dobbins.

Friday - Coffey
Saturday - Wikelman
Sunday - Gambrell
Monday - N/A
Tuesday - Dobbins
Wednesday - Liu + Sharp
Thursday - Bastardo
Friday - rain out
Saturday - Coffey

So yeah, looks like it should definitely be Wikelman & then probably Dobbins if they want him pitching on 4-day rest (he threw 93 pitches last time out). If they want to give him the more normal AA once a week treatment, they could pitch Sharp who threw 54 pitches in 2 innings on Wednesday but he's an org guy. Or they could do Liu.

My best guess is that they'll want to give everyone their normal once a week routine, so Wikelman + Sharp.

& let's check for bullpen availability cuz YOLO.

Today: Miller (32) - not available
Friday: N/A
Thursday: Troye (27), Webb (14), Hoppe (14) - probably not on Troye if not necessary, probably on Webb & Hoppe.
Wednesday: Denlinger (42), Cellucci (25), Zeferjahn (25) - maybe on Denlinger, probably on Celluci & Zeferjahn.
Tuesday: Olds (10), Guerrero (12) - yes x2

I was mostly just curious about this because if they had limited bullpen options they'd probably be more likely to start Dobbins to make sure they have their 14 innings covered.

But they should be fine with Olds, Guerrero, Cellucci, Zeferjahn, Webb & Hoppe all probably available & an off day on Monday.

So Wikelman + Sharp is my official guess.

I forgot to mention the reason I thought Liu was an outside possibility is that his last start only lasted 1.2 innings & 44 pitches.

Still waiting for word on who is actually starting for Portland today, but I would be pretty surprised if it's Liu.

RIO back in Worcester, Shugart back on the Development List after 1 game in which he didn't allow any runs.

08/27/23 Worcester Red Sox activated LHP Rio Gomez.
08/27/23 Worcester Red Sox transferred RHP Chase Shugart to the Development List.
08/27/23 Boston Red Sox recalled LHP Chris Murphy from Worcester Red Sox.

& Murphy is up for Bernardino who went on the 7-day Covid list.

I guess a bulk lefty makes more sense for Worcester's roster when Murphy isn't available. Seems perspicacious.

Blizzard is still out of the lineup. Guessing he's getting called up today.

I just put 2 & 2 together & realized Pablo Reyes is actually in today's lineup & therefore does not seem to need to go on the IL.

Devers on the other hand is going to undergo x-rays today & I guess Urias becomes the starting 3B if he's out, so Blizzard still makes sense to have around.
