Jackie Bradley Jr. Homers Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. finished 1-for-2 with a home run and three walks in Monday's win over the White Sox. Bradley Jr.'s solo shot got Boston on the board in the second inning, and he's now hit safely in 15 of 22 games in June. He's also hitting .274 with a .939 […]

Mookie Betts' Homer Begins Red Sox Comeback

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts hit his 13th home run in Monday's 6-5 walk off win over the White Sox. Betts' solo shot came in the seventh to put Boston within one at 5-4.

Rafael Devers is Back in the Lineup Monday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He tweaked his hamstring last Wednesday and hasn't been in the lineup since then. It appears that Devers doesn't need a rehab outing and he'll start on Monday. Devers will play third base […]

Steven Wright Expected to Join Bullpen on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright (suspension) is expected to join the team's bullpen on Tuesday. Wright recently finished serving an 80-game suspension for PED usage.

Eduardo Nunez Seeing The Ball Well In June

The Cut List (Week 13) - Time to Let Go?

At this point in the season, nearly half over, you should pretty much know what you have on your fantasy team. (Unless you have Jose Ramirez.)

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Devers tweaked his hamstring Wednesday and has not been in the starting lineup since then. He's come off the bench and batted, so at least he's able to do that. Brock Holt will […]

Boston Red Sox starter Chris Sale struck out eight Blue Jays in the team's 7-5 victory on Friday. Sale took the no-decision giving up four runs (three earned) over five innings of work marking his shortest outing since April 23. It wasn't the sharpest of outings for the left-hander as he gave up seven hits […]

Rafael Devers Remains Out on Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Devers tweaked his right hamstring on Wednesday and hasn't played since then. The team is hopeful that Devers can avoid the injured list and play this weekend. Eduardo Nunez will draw the start […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 12 Waiver Wire

The Reds are tinkering with their bullpen which may lead to another committee with a fireman, while the Red Sox, Twins, Rangers, and several others continued with the strategy. In "real life" baseball, the committee approach with a fireman is oftentimes the best strategy, but hoooo boy is it frustrating for fantasy owners. We're starting summer, […]

The team has the day off on Thursday. The […]

Michael Chavis Drives In Two Against Minnesota

Boston Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis has now hit safely in nine straight games after finishing 2-for-5 with two runs batted in during Wednesday's win over the Twins. The RBI counted as his first since June 14 and he's slashing just .257/.304/.392 in June. A serious problem is the 31 strikeouts in 79 plate appearances […]

Brock Holt Is Lighting June On Fire

Boston Red Sox utilityman Brock Holt finished just 1-for-2 with two walks, but drove in three runs in Wednesday's win over Minnesota. The 31-year-old has been a key contributor to Boston's lineup since returning from the injured list in late May. For the month of June, he's slashing .400/.466/.540 with a homer, 11 RBI, and […]
