Well I think Chris Sale is going to pitch great tonight. So good that we won't need a 2nd baseman tonight!

So - looking at the active roster (yet to be updated with Xander and Yairo's issues) -
Sale will have Whitlock, Ottavino, Richards, Robles and Davis as possible relief. Probably Brasier too, though it hasn't been announced anywhere I've seen, he was supposed to be activated today.
I guess Santana will come up - and Cordero?
What's the story on the Taxi bunch - Schreiber, Lopez, Madden and Wong?
Cora will need to be creative (and Sale will have to be really good). And...who will be next to be shut down?

Jackie Lopez is a potential middleinfielder who has been quietly sort of OK in the minors and for US Olympics. EDIT: Where is Marwin Gonzalez when you need him? Cue Danny.

Why not give Ryan Fitzgerald a shot. He's a good defender and 27 years old.

Wait is this Charlie Madden? I need him to get game action

Circumstances suck, but you have to feel good for Jackie making his MLB debut after 3,247 MiLB abs and a silver in the Olympics.

What do you do when the covid replacements get covid? What do you do with Erod right now? Guy has to be nervous, do you send him home for a week? Are you sure he’s been on the team this year?

If the Sox are some kind of outlier organization, they are simply going to have to suck it up and get through this COVID outbreak ...... somehow. As for the relievers tonight, why not put Dalbec on the mound? He may not like it, but it's an emergency, and he figures to be at least one step above the goofy position players that are brought in to pitch an inning in a blowout and throw eephus balls.

Two of the most important pieces are getting somewhat close to returning..Kiké' and Christian. It would settle 2nd and Center and again if Arroyo can stay of the GD IL.

Well, things are rough, but we are apparently not at Franchy level rough yet.

I have an unsettling feeling that Arroyo is the second coming of Jed Lowrie. Good player when he can play, but when is suspect to interpretation.

Good to see we didn’t crumble to pieces after yet another mistake Failure to turn the first DP? Lopez could not have made the play by himself. Franco would Ave beaten the throw regardless. Could Arauz have arrived a step earlier? Yes, probably, but Franco did beat the throw by a step and change. So even at best, it is not certain that the Sox could turn it. I hate the Sox recent sloppy play, but that play is not a stone dead mistake no matter what Eckersley has to say.
