Xander Bogaerts With Three Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had three of Boston's nine hits Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Bogaerts is in the midst of a minor power outage, as he hasn't homered since June 15, but he has doubled 10 times since then and was robbed of a home […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Undone By Bloops And Blasts Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez closed out his first half Wednesday, and it did not go as well as he would have liked. He allowed four runs on nine hits and no walks to the Los Angeles Angels in five innings while striking out five. Much of the damage early came on bloop […]

Ryan Brasier Hasn't Cleared Concussion Protocols

Boston Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush said that relief pitcher Ryan Brasier (head) still has not cleared the concussion protocols after he was hit in the head on June 4. Brasier has been throwing every day but has yet to get back on the mound. The 33-year-old right-hander's timetable for a return in the […]

Chris Sale Will Be Built Back Up Before Being Activated

Boston Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush said that the plan is for starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) to be built all the way up to five or six innings before he's activated from the injured list. Sale is getting closer to a return and has been facing live hitters in live batting practice sessions, […]

Marwin Gonzalez Won't Be Available Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) won't be available on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Gonzalez left the game early on Monday with right hamstring tightness and was also unavailable on Tuesday.

Danny Santana May Go On The Injured List

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana (quad) was removed from Tuesday's contest in the seventh inning after coming up limping while running out a ground ball. He was replaced at first base by Bobby Dalbec. It appears to be a 50-50 chance that Santana will be placed on the injured list, but fellow utility […]

Xander Bogaerts On-Base Streak Ends At 29 Games

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts did not reach base Tuesday night against the Angels, bringing his 29-game on-base streak to an end. Bogaerts nearly did extend it, as he was robbed of an opposite-field two-run home run by a leaping Juan Lagares in the sixth inning which would have given the Red Sox the […]

Hunter Renfroe Goes Deep Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe went deep off Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, but it was a case of too-little-too-late for the Sox, who lost 5-3. It was Renfroe's 13th home run of the year, with the solo shot being his only hit in four at-bats. […]

J.D. Martinez Drives In Two Tuesday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez drove in two runs Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez has been heating up of late, with a .320/.406/.640 slash line, two homers, and 11 RBI in his last seven games. He's a mainstay in the third spot […]

Nathan Eovaldi Takes The Loss Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi's brief streak of excellent starts came to an end Tuesday, as he allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk to the Los Angeles Angels in 5 2/3 innings.
