The Boston Red Sox are adjusting their pitching rotation following a 16-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Sonny Gray, who currently holds a 2.82 ERA, will not make his next scheduled start Tuesday. Instead, the team is moving his next appearance to Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles. This adjustment provides Gray with ten days of rest between appearances, as his last outing occurred on August 26 against the Miami Marlins. While Gray remains the team's statistical ace with 143.2 innings pitched this season, the organization is prioritizing extra recovery time as the final month of the regular season approaches. Payton Tolle is scheduled to pitch Monday, with Patrick Sandoval set for Wednesday. The team has not yet named a starting pitcher for the Tuesday vacancy.
