The injury of Sonny Gray to a hamstring strain has led to the emergence of Payton Tolle as a potential replacement for Gray, who has been sidelined due to injury. Tolle, who hasn't pitched since April 12, is expected to be promoted to the Red Sox's rotation after Gray's injury. The Red Sox have an opening in their rotation, with Tolle likely to fill it. He has been playing well at Triple-A level and has added a sinker and cutter to the mix this year. Bryce Eldridge's recent surge in performance has limited him to No. 2 in the rankings, but this is seen as a significant boost for Tolle. Didier Fuentes' chances of being replaced by Martin Perez for the Braves' position may not be long enough, especially given the team's recent skip of seven innings.
