Not letting Eovaldi swing the bat was also dumb. While he may not be the best hitting pitcher, he is pretty good. In his 9 at bats this season he has a hit. Overall he has 12 hits in 149 at bats.

Assuming potential starter Pomeranz can give the Sox a few innings with his arm, his bat may come into play.
Additionally, should the Red Sox need a pinch runner, machine gun Kelly might be a good call.
