Garrett Whitlock Earns Win In Relief Friday
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock was credited with his third win of the season Friday, having pitched two innings of relief against the New York Yankees. He allowed just one hit and struck out two, dropping his season ERA to 1.49 with a 1.16 WHIP and 38 strikeouts in 36 1/3 innings. With […]
Matt Barnes Records 16th Save
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes recorded his 16th save of the year Friday, closing the door against the New York Yankees. He pitched one innings, allowing two hits and striking out one. Barnes has been shaky of late, recording a 4.05 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in his last seven appearances, but he's been […]
Adam Ottavino Locks Down 14th Hold
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino has been very reliable all season, and Friday was no different. Ottavino pitched a perfect eighth inning against the New York Yankees, striking out two of the three batters he faced to lock down his 14th hold of the season. He now has a 2.64 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, […]
Martin Perez Knocked Out In The Fourth Inning
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez was knocked out in the fourth inning Friday having recorded only 11 outs despite not allowing a single earned run. Three runs came around to score on six hits and two walks, but all were unearned. Perez also struck out three batters and received a no-decision. It's hard […]
Christian Vazquez Reaches Base Three Times Friday
Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez reached base three times Friday, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI against the New York Yankees. Vazquez now has a very modest three-game hit streak, with multiple hits in the last two. He's struggled all year, but perhaps Vazquez is beginning to put things together. Fantasy managers […]
Hunter Renfroe Reaches Base Three Times, Drives In Two
Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe reached based in all three of his plate appearances against the New York Yankees Friday, going 1-for-1 with a double, two walks, a run scored, and two RBI. What first seemed like a hot streak has now turned into sustained success for Renfroe, who is thriving with a .308/.392/.519 […]
Xander Bogaerts Drives In Two Friday
Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a double against the New York Yankees Friday, driving in two runs and scoring another. It's been a relatively tough stretch for Bogaerts, as he's produced only a .675 OPS over his last seven games, and his last home run came on June 15. Still, Bogaerts […]
Michael Chavis Leads Off, Steals A Base
Boston Red Sox utility man Michael Chavis led off for the second time in two games since being recalled on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base against the Yankees. The steal was his first of the season. The Red Sox have gotten little production from the top spot in the […]
Bobby Dalbec Strikes Out Twice More Thursday
Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec went 0-for-2 Thursday, striking out in both his plate appearances. He's now struck out in nine of his last ten at-bats, as he went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts Tuesday, and 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts Wednesday. It's a disappointing turn for fantasy managers, who saw Dalbec […]
Christian Vazquez Steals Seventh Base Of Season
Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez was the only player on either team with multiple hits Thursday, going 2-for-3 with two singles and his seventh stolen base of the year. Vazquez has been quite disappointing with the bat this year, posting just a .653 OPS with three home runs. To get seven steals from a […]
Nick Pivetta Exits In Seventh With No-Hitter
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta had his best start of the season Thursday, exiting after 6 2/3 no-hit innings. He struck out eight batters and only permitted two baserunners via walk. Manager Alex Cora pulled Pivetta after 100 pitches, and unfortunately Pivetta took a no-decision when the Red Sox lost 1-0 on a […]

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a bone bruise in his knee.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/24/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
Greetings RotoBallers! We have a smaller eight-game slate tonight rather than the usual double-digit game slate. Personally, I prefer these smaller slates as if nothing else, it gives me less to sift through.

Christian Arroyo Still Out
Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (shin) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Arroyo remains day-to-day with a bruised shin, although he could be available for Thursday's series finale or Friday's series opener against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old sustained the injury on Sunday after chasing a […]
Garrett Richards May Have New Repertoire Wednesday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards abandoned his curveball in his last outing against the Atlanta Braves and could use a new repertoire in his start on Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. Richards has primarily thrown three pitches -- a fastball (58.2%), slider (26.2%) and curveball (15.1%) -- but he might start […]
