Recently, the Boston Red Sox have been on a heater, sweeping three of their four last series, and winning 11 of their last 13 games. However, during their second-to-last series against the Los Angeles Angels, the Red Sox lost another starting pitcher to the IL, in Ranger Suarez.
Suarez being out not only changes things for the Red Sox, but also the MLB. Suarez was named to be one of Boston’s three All-Stars this season, along with Aroldis Chapman and Willson Contreras. However, now the MLB can right a wrong, and announce a snub from Boston to be his injury replacement: acting ace Sonny Gray.

Since late April, Gray has been the Red Sox’s acting ace since Garrett Crochet was put on the IL. In that time, he’s been dominant, posting a 10-1 record, a 2.61 ERA, 82 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.104 over 89 innings pitched.
