WHAT'S UP
The Boston Red Sox look to snap a five game losing streak in their home opener against the San Diego Padres.
The Red Sox placed Johan Oviedo on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 31) with a right elbow strain and placed setup man Garrett Whitlock on the paternity list. Boston called up right-handers Zack Kelly and Tyler Uberstine from Triple-A Worcester. “We’ll see where we’re at, as far as comparing the MRIs to before,” said manager Alex Cora. “We just have to be patient with it and wait for that to happen.”
