As the Red Sox try to pick up their second win in as many nights Friday in the Bronx, they’ll do so with their newest player making his major league debut in center field.

The 22-year-old Red Sox prospect allowed just one run, one hit and no walks while striking out nine in 5 innings. He reached 98.6 mph with his fastball.

The Red Sox are reportedly poised to promote their top prospect with an unusual name — and an even better nickname — who was off to a hot start at Triple-A.

While talking about the move to the bullpen, Buehler noted that he's already reached out to two people to pick their brains about the bullpen, including former Red Sox polarizing star and World Series champion David Price, as shared by MassLive.com's Chris Cotillo.

In 22 starts, Buehler posted the worst numbers of his career with a 5.40 ERA, 16.5 percent strikeout rate and 10.7 percent walk rate.

The Boston Red Sox are moving right-hander Walker Buehler to the bullpen, manager Alex Cora told reporters on Friday, hours before first pitch against the New York Yankees (GameTracker). The Red Sox elected not to announce who will take Buehler's spot in their starting rotation.
