Rafael Devers Removed From Friday's Game
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed from Friday's game against the New York Yankees in the top of the fifth inning due to an apparent lower-back injury.

It's highly […]
Jarren Duran To Sit Out On Friday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Duran went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on Thursday. Rob Refsnyder will bat leadoff and play center field versus lefty Nestor Cortes. Fantasy managers should be […]
