John Tomase goes on an epic rant about the state of the Red Sox in comparison to the Baltimore Orioles and the rest of the American League East and explains why the gap between them may only grow in the coming years.
The Boston Red Sox announced Josh Winckowski will get the start for Tuesday's series opener vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.
Winckowski will replace Nathan Eovaldi, who was scratched from his scheduled start after not responding well to treatment on a trapezius muscle. With two consecutive starts missed due to injury, Eovaldi is expected to land back on the injured list, according to MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo.

Winckowski, 24, has a 5-6 record with a 5.19 ERA in 12 starts so far in his rookie season. In his most recent start on Aug. 18 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he allowed six runs on seven hits in five innings of work.
The Red Sox are six games off the pace in the American League Wild Card race. The Blue Jays are tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the top wild-card spot.
First pitch for Tuesday's Red Sox-Blue Jays matchup is set for 7:10 p.m. ET at Fenway Park.
