Tazawa was not able to pitch Friday night because he had thrown a bullpen session earlier in the day, the Providence Journal reports.
Analysis:
Tazawa had been given the Toronto series off and the Red Sox didn't want him taking the mound before having him throw a side session. That's a decision that proved costly, as the Red Sox were forced to use rookie Noe Ramirez in the 10th inning against the Houston Astros. The rookie allowed four runs (two earned) on three hits and a hit batsman.
