Triple-A Worcester will activate Seabold (elbow) from the 7-day injured list and have him start Friday's game against Lehigh Valley, Jenna Ciccotelli of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seabold will be making his 2021 debut at a full-season affiliate after checking out fine following his two rehab outings in the rookie-level Florida Complex League earlier this month. The 25-year-old first experienced elbow inflammation shortly before Worcester started its season in early May, prompting the Red Sox to take a cautious approach with his rehab. Since he covered only three innings in his final rehab start in the FCL, Seabold will likely have a restricted pitch count in Friday's outing.
