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 can't seem to catch a break in the injury department.
Manager Alex Cora announced Sunday that Nathan Eovaldi has been scratched from his scheduled Tuesday start against the Toronto Blue Jays. The right-hander hasn't responded well to treatment on a trapezius muscle and could be headed for another stint on the injured list.
Eovaldi, who also was scratched from his previously-scheduled start in Pittsburgh, missed time earlier this season due to a hip injury. After a rocky return to the mound, the 32-year-old started to find his groove in August, posting a 2.95 ERA in three starts.

If Eovaldi indeed joins them on the injured list, Boston's uphill battle for a wild-card spot only gets steeper.
The Red Sox enter Sunday five games out of a postseason berth.
