Red Sox set rotation with Gray, Suarez, and Tolle for playoff push

The Boston Red Sox announced their starting pitching rotation for the upcoming weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. Sonny Gray is scheduled to start Friday, followed by Ranger Suarez on Saturday and Payton Tolle on Sunday. This sequence follows the team's remaining 15 games of the regular season, which includes scheduled off days. The rotation alignment suggests a potential path for the postseason, as the three pitchers are positioned to start a potential Wild Card series. Suarez enters the rotation after an eight-day layoff. The team recently completed a stretch of 54 games over 56 days, allowing for this upcoming rest period. The organization must now determine if this configuration provides the best postseason outlook given the experience levels of the rotation members.
