Buehler is sick. Plan is for him to stay behind and pitch Monday on back field at Fenway South. Abreu also joining Devers and Story in staying behind.

Fantasy Impact:

Buehler’s planned Sunday finale shifts to Monday’s back-field outing at Boston’s camp after an illness, keeping him on track for his March 29 regular-season start versus Texas. The 30-year-old’s setback seems minor. Fantasy managers in all leagues should roster him, banking on his ace potential for big value in the Red Sox’ 2025 rotation if he’s ready as expected.
