Nathan Eovaldi threw a bullpen session Sunday but he will definitely not be in the rotation come Tuesday. Roenicke said the Sox are going to try to get access to Citizens Bank Park the day after the doubleheader to give Eovaldi another bullpen session.

"If things go great, then we have the decision whether to put him in in the Tampa series," Roenicke said, "or get him another bullpen and get him in the Miami series."

Darwinzon Hernandez is also set to throw a bullpen session in Philadelphia Tuesday before the doubleheader.
