Hart gave up two runs on two hits and four walks over 3.2 innings during Wednesday's win over the Phillies. He had five strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has now issued seven walks through his first two starts, and he delivered only 39 of his 73 pitches for strikes Wednesday. Hart will need to illustrate better command to have a chance to work deeper into games, and his next opportunity should be Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Hart is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was roughed up in his first MLB start Aug. 13 against the Rays, lasting just two innings and giving up seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks. While that sort of poor showing would normally disqualify a spot starter from earning another turn through the rotation, the Red Sox -- whose starters have posted a 6.95 ERA this season heading into Sunday's action -- have few appealing alternatives on hand to replace Hart. Boston will hope Hart can at least eat a few more innings Wednesday, but fantasy players are probably best off looking at other streaming options this week.

Hart (0-1) allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out four across two innings to take the loss Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Hart made his major-league debut, though the results were not good. After allowing two runs in the first inning, he settled down to record a scoreless second inning. However, things deteriorated quickly in the third frame as he allowed the first six batters he faced to reach base, including a walk, two home runs, a double and two singles. The Red Sox continue to seek a combination of effective starting pitchers, so it remains to be seen if Hart will get another turn through the rotation.

The Red Sox recalled Hart from their alternate training site ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old lefty will be making his big-league debut Thursday, becoming the latest in a growing list of pitchers to get an audition in Boston's rotation this season. Hart started in 15 of his 18 appearances at Triple-A Pawtucket in 2019, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 80:36 K:BB across 100.1 innings.

Hart will be recalled from the alternate training site to start Thursday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he's now set to make his major-league debut this week. Hart spent 2019 at Triple-A Pawtucket and had a 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 80:36 K:BB over 100.1 innings (15 starts), and a decent outing Thursday should bring additional opportunities with the Red Sox searching for answers in the starting rotation.

Hart was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hart had an outside chance at a spot in the starting rotation, but he'll end up beginning his season at Triple-A. The 27-year-old started 15 games for Pawtucket during 2019 and had a 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 80:36 K:BB across 100.1 innings.

Hart walked one over two scoreless innings in Friday's spring game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Red Sox interim manager Ron Roenicke identified Hart as a candidate for a rotation spot prior to the left-hander's start Friday, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. The Red Sox have two starting slots up for grabs heading into the regular season. One is a full-time gig made available when David Price was traded to the Dodgers, while the other is temporary as a replacement for Chris Sale (illness) who will begin the season on the injured list. The 27-year-old Hart is a command pitcher whose fastball lives in the upper-80s to low-90s.
