Red Sox Take the Rest
The Red Sox decided to take the extra day off. I'm a bit surprised, but not entirely. The team was hurting down the stretch, and I suspect this will help. It does however, mean they'll face Lackey and Escobar twice if it goes five and totally miss Santana.
It also might help the Yankees as they'll get to face the 3-4 starters for Cleveland instead of facing Sabathia and Carmona twice.
Santana is in the bullpen under any circumstances short of injury.
Angels rotation is
Lackey
Escobar
Weaver
Saunders
If anyone is hurt and they need someone else, Colon is probably higher in the pecking order than Santana.
