Red Sox's Rick Porcello: Lined up to start Friday

Porcello will make his spring training debut Friday against the Braves, Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Porcello, who won the American League Cy Young Award in 2016, has been able to use the success he experienced last season to ease into spring training. In previous springs, the right-hander was worried about winning a rotation spot and needing to be perfect in every outing. Now, he can focus on the start of the regular season and take the time necessary to focus on things like fastball command without worrying about results.
