The Red Sox are in Detroit for Game 36, and while the matchup against the Tigers might not be the headline, the injury updates coming out of Comerica Park certainly are. Let's start with the good news: Roman Anthony, who's been dealing with a wrist sprain, is officially day-to-day. According to Chris Cotillo, there are no plans to place him on the IL—so take a deep breath, Red Sox fans. He'll miss the final games in Detroit, but this is a far better update than we could have expected.

Meanwhile, the rotation is starting to take shape. Chad Tracy confirmed that "all things are pointing toward" Sonny Gray taking the mound tomorrow, with Early and Bennett slated for the first two games against Tampa Bay. There's also positive momentum for Suárez, which could set up Ranger Suarez to start Saturday and Payton Tolle on Sunday before Monday's off day. If this all falls into place, the Red Sox might finally be able to move Brayan Bello out of the rotation—fingers crossed!

But don't get too comfortable. Bello won't be starting tonight—that honor goes to Jovani Moran—but he's expected to appear as the bulk reliever as the Red Sox juggle lefty-righty matchups. It's a last-ditch effort to keep a Bello game competitive, and let's be honest, that's a tall order. The ripple effects are already hitting Worcester, too. According to WooSox acting manager Iggy Suarez, pitchers Jack Anderson and Eduardo Rivera likely won't pitch in today's AAA game because the Red Sox are "thin" on available arms. Both are prepping for bullpen duty, which says everything about how the team is bracing for another tough outing.

And then there's tonight's lineup. No Roman Anthony, as we mentioned, and that's just the start. The absence of key bats makes this a lineup that leans heavily on depth players stepping up. It's a game where the scoreboard might take a backseat to the injury report, but for Red Sox fans, every update is a step toward a healthier, stronger roster. Stay tuned—this series is far from over.
