Red Sox call up No. 6 prospect to take Dustin May' start tonight vs Athletics, push May to IL originally appeared on The Sporting News A little over a week ago, Boston Red Sox called up Payton Tolle to become part of their pitching staff, and get him acclimated to the majors. Now, it seems they’re onto the next.

Dustin May hit the injured list Tuesday, further depleting the Red Sox' rotation depth. He described the results of an MRI as a "huge relief" in Sacramento.

Now-injured reliever Liam Hendriks vented after he and his wife received death threats after a poor performance against the Mets. Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito confronted MLB commissioner Rob Manfred about the gambling in the sports, believing that is the main motivation for fans to threaten players.

The Boston Red Sox didn’t do much at the trade deadline, only acquiring reliever Steven Matz, and starter Dustin May, who they got after they couldn’t get starter Joe Ryan from the Minnesota Twins.
