Three Red Sox hurlers are inching closer to making their returns

While we’re all celebrating one hell of a comeback victory, something the Red Sox do better than any other team in the league, we received some more good news on Sunday. As Boston marches toward October and gets their ticket closer to being punched with every win, they could be getting some firepower to push them over the line. We all know the names that are in the IL and are trying to work their way back to Fenway Park, and that work is about to pay off in a big way.

The biggest pro for the Red Sox through the first chunk of the season has been the health of their pitching staff. Between the starters and relievers, this club has been incredibly lucky as far as injuries are concerned. It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows though as the team has had a few hiccups here and there. Thankfully the few clouds we’ve seen this season are about to part and the sun is ready to come back out.

Today saw good news in regards to Eduardo Rodriguez, Chris Sale, and Ryan Brasier. All three have played massive roles in the success of his team in the past and the trio will be needed for the Sox to get back to the Fall Classic. Beefing up the pitching on both ends of the game will not only increase Boston’s chances but will give them a massive boost where other teams have issues. With all that being said, let’s take a look at where these three land on the injury report!
