Red Sox selected the contract of LHP Sean Newcomb from Triple-A Worcester.

Sean Newcomb will be the Red Sox’ fifth starter to open the season.

Sean Newcomb dazzled in Thursday’s spring tune-up against the Twins, allowing just one unearned run on four hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work.

Ian Browne of MLB.com reports that Sean Newcomb could open the 2025 season as a member of Boston’s rotation.
