NEW YORK –– Four days after making his major-league debut in relief, which
resulted in a loss in relief to the Yankees, Junichi Tazawa has been added to
the rotation. The Red Sox announced yesterday that the rookie will make his
first career start Tuesday, plugging the spot vacated by John Smoltz.
Tazawa was called up Friday from Triple-A Pawtucket, and made his debut that
same night in the 15th inning of a scoreless tie against the Yankees. He gave
up the game-winning home run to Alex Rodriguez.
Tazawa was one of several options to make the Tuesday start with Smoltz gone,
but already being on the roster gave him a major edge, said manager Terry
Francona.
“There's certainly other names or possibilities we could have used. I think
having him here now, and putting him in that slot — moving forward, if we
need to do something, this creates a little bit of flexibility. Whereas, if
we send him down, call somebody back up, we're losing some of that
flexibility that's very apparent, right now, we need. It's been a couple of
tough weeks for us.”
Tazawa has been one of the bright spots in the Boston farm system this
season. The 23-year-old starter with four quality pitches has zoomed through
the minors. Tazawa was signed to a $3.3-million, three-year deal in the
offseason and showed great poise and killer stuff in spring training before
moving to Double-A Portland. He earned a spot on the Eastern League All-Star
Team and a subsequent promotion to Triple-A. He made only two starts for
Pawtucket before injuries to the big-league club gave him his shot.
“I will do my best for the given opportunity,” he said. “I'm a little bit
used to pitching as a starter.”
Tazawa will make his debut against the Detroit Tigers.
“I don't know much about them, but I hope I can perform well,” Tazawa
said.
After making his debut in front of nearly 50,000 enemy fans in the Bronx,
Tazawa is definitely looking forward to the friendlier confines of Fenway.
“I had a big crowd last time, so I think this time, the crowd at Fenway will
support me a lot,” he said.
Tazawa was hit hard in his debut, allowing two runs in two innings and
letting Yankee after Yankee make good contact. He owned up to being very
nervous afterwards. He expects that he’ll have more success this time, as a
result of getting the difficult debut behind him.
“I think I can calm down myself a little bit better this time,” Tazawa said.
