Bobby Dalbec Strikes Out Four Times Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec struck out four times in five at-bats Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Dalbec had been hot of late, with a 1.009 OPS over the last seven games even after his forgettable day. Despite the recent success, it's still strikeouts that will cause Dalbec's fans and fantasy managers […]

Hunter Renfroe Homers, Drives In Three

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe continues to outperform expectations, going 2-for-5 against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday, with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts reached base three times Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with three singles, two runs scored, and a stolen base. The steal was his fifth of the season.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez drove in two runs Tuesday, going 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored. He now has 18 doubles and 46 RBI on the year.

Danny Santana Leads Off, Steals A Base

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana led off and played center field Tuesday, going 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, and a steal. It was his second stolen base of the season. Santana has been largely disappointing since joining the Red Sox, posting just a .490 OPS with two home runs and two […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Solid In Six Innings Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was solid against the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday, making it through six innings for the first time since May 12.
