Manager Alex Cora will have a lot of flexibility with his roster this season.

Yu Chang will start the season as Boston’s backup infielder while Dalbec gets more work in the minors.

Wyatt Miles is the fifth Red Sox pitcher to either suffer an injury or be slowed by a previous injury during spring training.

Despite a spring ERA of 8.31, Tanner Houck is scheduled to start Boston’s third game of the regular season.

Japan’s Masataka Yoshida of Japan and Chinese Taipei infielder Yu Chang are honored.

The Red Sox hope starting pitcher Garrett Whitlock, who is recovering from offseason hip surgery, will miss one or two starts.

Chang has been delayed by the WBC and a visa issue and may lose out to Dalbec, who is seeing time at shortstop this spring.

Miguel Bleis is the No. 4 prospect in the Red Sox organization and No. 93 in MLB Pipeline’s top 100 prospects.
