His presence in the outfield and at bat could pose a significant challenge for the Red Sox pitchers.
The upcoming game also shines a spotlight on pitching talents from both teams. The Red Sox's Josh Winckowski showed promise with an ERA (Earned Run Average) of 0.00 and nine strikeouts per nine innings pitched in one game, indicating his potential to stifle the Royals' hitters.
