The Red Sox planned for Criswell to start Saturday’s game against the Astros. They have not yet decided who will replace him.

Keller is a potential candidate for Saturday’s start if the Red Sox don’t need to use him in long relief Friday. Keller, who has made five starts for Worcester, last pitched Aug. 3. He was scheduled to start today for Worcester, which got rained out at Syracuse.

Manager Alex Cora said that Quinn Priester, who is scheduled to start for the WooSox on Saturday, is not a candidate to make the start. Boston acquired Priester from the Pirates for infield prospect Nick Yorke at the trade deadline.
