NEW YORK — The Red Sox have announced their 2025 American League Wild Card roster ahead of Tuesday’s Game 1.
Boston will carry 12 pitchers and 14 position players.
The roster includes all three young pitchers, Connelly Early , Kyle Harrison and Payton Tolle , who they called up in August and September. Early and Tolle are rookies.
Both speedsters, Nate Eaton and David Hamilton, also made the roster. Boston will carry bench player Nick Sogard as well.
As manager Alex Cora announced Monday, right-handed starter Lucas Giolito is not on the roster because of an elbow injury . If the best-of-three series reaches Game 3, Early or Harrison likely would start . They have combined for just six starts for Boston this year.
Game 1 between Boston and New York will take place Tuesday
