UP NEXT:
Red Sox: RHP Nathan Eovaldi (5-7, 4.35) is scheduled to start Monday's opener of a three-game road series against Atlanta and RHP Touki Toussaint (1-0, 1.50).
Braves: Toussaint (1-0, 1.50 ERA) will make his second career start as Atlanta opens a three-game home series against Boston. Nathan Eovaldi (5-7, 4.35) pitches for the Red Sox.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Atlanta RHPs Arodys Vizcaino, sidelined 53 games with right shoulder inflammation, and Jose Ramirez, sidelined 120 games with the same diagnosis, will begin rehab assignments Monday at Gwinnett and then appear Tuesday at Single-A Rome.
Red Sox: LHPs Sale (mild inflammation in left shoulder) and Price (bruised left wrist) could return to the rotation as early as next weekend, Cora said. For both starters, the Red Sox are looking at their next homestand, which begins Friday with three games against Houston before three games against Toronto and three against the Mets. Sale, who has been on the DL since Aug. 15, could pitch a few innings as an "opener" as he builds up his stamina, Cora said. Sale is 12-4 with an AL-leading 1.97 ERA. "It's going to be during the homestand, but we don't know which series," Cora said. ... The Red Sox hope Price (14-6, 3.60 ERA) also will be able to throw off a mound this week in Atlanta as he works his way back. A line drive struck his pitching wrist against Miami on Wednesday. "It should be Houston or the next series," Cora said. ... Cuevas (heat-related illness) exited after allowing two runs and recording eight outs. The temperature at first pitch was 87 degrees.

FWIW, we could be catching the Red Sox at the right time, with both Sale and Price banged up. IIRC, we haven't fared too well against Eovaldi for the most part, though. And well, you never know. I'd be happy with 2 of 3 for sure.

The Sox are 8-9 in their last 17 games.
What worries me is they have pitchers.
That seems to be a problem lately for our hitters.

Freeman and Markakis need to wake up. If that happens, we should be OK.

Braves load the bases and strand them all. Probably just lost the game.
