Sean Newcomb is a slight favorite for the Red Sox’ fifth starter role, per team updates, nudging ahead of Quinn Priester amid pitching injuries this spring. (Ian Browne)
Fantasy Impact:
Newcomb’s 0.63 ERA with 13 strikeouts and 3 walks in 14.1 spring innings outshines Priester, trailing Richard Fitts’ fourth spot, marking a starter resurgence for the Red Sox since 2018. The 31-year-old lefty impresses. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his form for early value in Boston’s 2025 rotation while injuries linger.
