Whatever happens on Tuesday, it’s safe to assume that the Red Sox future plans involve Owens.

Lanky and angular, Owens did enough to suggest that as he grows and matures physically, his stuff could be tough to handle, especially for left-handed hitters.
The Yankees were hardly done against Breslow following McCann’s 18th home run.
With Rick Porcello being sent to the 15-day disabled list with a tricep strain, the Red Sox have called up Henry Owens from AAA Pawtucket. This AFC West team may have some improvements in terms of personnel, but Jack Del Rio is the latest in a carousel of ever-changing mediocre coaches, and Fezzik doesn’t expect he is the guy to turn this team around.
Speaking before the Red Sox visited the Yankees in New York on Tuesday night, Farrell said that it’s too early to say if Johnson’s injury extends to his ulnar collateral ligament, which would likely end his season. But for the first time since he was a teenager, he struggled, walking as many batters (25) as he struck out over his first six starts.
“It’s going to be probably the biggest stage that he’s going to make his debut on that the schedule has it. But ideally having another lefthander go against that lineup in that ballpark”.
Chris Young beat out an infield single to deep short and Alex Rodriguez walked to put Owens in immediate trouble.
Home sweet home, the phrase the New York Yankees are uttering at this very moment.
After a conference at the mound, Owens settled down.
He settled from there, however, with Brian McCann flying to center and Carlos Beltran popping out.
The big seventh began when shortstop Xander Bogaerts bounced a throw for an error on Jacoby Ellsbury’s leadoff grounder. He also did not allow a hit in four flawless innings against Harrisburg.
The Yankees jumped ahead for good 4-2 in the sixth.
But then everything fell apart for Boston in the bottom of the seventh when the Sox bullpen surrendered nine runs, eight earned.
