Chris Young absent from Red Sox' ALDS roster
Boston Red Sox outfielder Chris Young is not on the team's roster for the team's ALDS matchup against the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
It appears that the Red Sox decided to go with the baserunning and balance of Rajai Davis over the pinch-hitting potential of Young. The move is also a result of Boston's emphasis on infield, rather than outfield depth, which probably has something to do with the questionable health of Dustin Pedroia (knee) and Eduardo Nunez (knee).
While Young has contributed 7 home runs and 25 RBI in 276 plate appearances, Davis has tallied 5 home runs and 20 RBI in addition to 29 stolen bases this season.
