He has a 4.98 ERA in 22 outings out of the bullpen. He has struck out 38 guys in 34.1 innings.He had a 3.54 ERA in 14 appearances for Greenville last season.McShane is entirely a reliever, not having started a single game as a professional, so he’ll have to keep striking batters out while limiting home runs and walks in order to earn promotions.In the meantime, though, it’s clear he is capable of pushing himself to his limit, at least when it comes to fried Oreos.More Red SoxLatest Red Sox news2026 Red Sox schedule2026 Red Sox rosterComplete history of Red Sox championships
