Alex Cora discusses the team's decision to move Walker Buehler to the bullpen and his belief that the pitcher is still key to the team's plans

Roman Anthony has had his fair share of hits in big moments for the Red Sox in the two-plus months since he was called up to the majors. His latest was different.

Right-hander Jordan Hicks continues to struggle, as he allowed two runs in the ninth inning on Monday. The 28-year-old now has a 6.61 ERA in 28 appearances this season and a 7.07 ERA in 15 outings since the Red Sox acquired him in the Rafael Devers trade. However, manager Alex Cora remained committed to Hicks in the postgame presser, via NESN.

A disappointing season for Red Sox’s righty Walker Buehler continued on Tuesday. He only completed four innings while allowing four hits and as many walks in a home loss to the Orioles. It was the fourth time in his past five outings that Buehler issued at least three free passes, and his season earned run average is up to 5.40 across 22 starts.
