Boston Red Sox right-hander Josh Winckowski picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday when he finished the 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went one inning, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out zero. The 24-year-old Winckowski has been lights out for the Sox thus far, posting a […]

Garrett Whitlock's Tests Come Back Clean Tuesday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) went to see a doctor on Tuesday regarding his elbow injury, and according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, there is no ulnar nerve damage.

Triston Casas Absent From Tuesday's Starting Lineup

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. It's not a terribly big surprise to see the lefty-swinging youngster get the night off against a left-handed pitcher but it's certainly been a struggle for the 23-year-old so far this season. Casas […]

Connor Wong Returns To Starting Lineup

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong is back in Tuesday's starting lineup and will take on the Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. It's of zero surprise that Wong gets the starting nod against a left-handed pitcher after Reese McGuire started Monday's contest against right-hander Jose Berrios. It's been a fairly strict platoon behind the […]

James Paxton To Make Another Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher James Paxton (hamstring) will make at least one more rehab start with Triple-A Worcester.

Hernandez […]

Triston Casas Returning On Monday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
