Seabold is currently with the Red Sox as a member of the taxi squad and is a strong candidate to start Saturday against the White Sox, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cora said that there a "few guys on the taxi squad" with the club in Chicago that could fill in for Chris Sale (COVID-19), but Seabold figures to be the obvious choice. The right-hander last pitched for Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, so he'll be on six days rest if he makes his major-league debut against the Pale Hose as expected. Seabold has a 3.67 ERA and 44:13 K:BB across 41.2 innings at Worcester.
