BOSTON — In the estimation of his manager, no other Red Sox pitcher has a pre-game routine as detailed as Walker Buehler. “It doesn’t matter if it’s 7 (p.m.) or 11 o’clock,” said Alec Cora Monday morning. “He’s on-point. It’s not like it takes him a long time to get ready. But there’s a lot of moving parts throughout his process.”

In his first career Patriots Day start, Red Sox righty Walker Buehler dominated on Monday morning against the White Sox.

The Red Sox offense is still searching for its optimal gear, while the rotation will be welcoming back a key member on Tuesday.
