Tanner Houck, Garrett Whitlock To Throw Bullpens This Week

Boston Red Sox right-handers Tanner Houck (face) and Garrett Whitlock (elbow) will both throw bullpen sessions in the next two days. Houck and Whitlock have both resumed throwing, but there remains no timetables for their returns to the active roster. Houck needed surgery to fix a facial fracture. He hasn't pitched since June 16, but […]

Trevor Story Could Return As Early As This Weekend

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the team will consider bringing shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) back this weekend. Story is playing shortstop, designated hitter and shortstop again the next three days on his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. It's possible the Red Sox bring him back sooner, but his timing is off at […]

Chris Sale Could Start Minor-League Rehab Assignment Next Week

Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (shoulder) is scheduled to throw an up-and-down bullpen session on Thursday at Triple-A Worcester and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week. The Red Sox are talking about bringing Sale back sooner and building up his innings in Boston. The 34-year-old southpaw can return from the injured list […]

Alex Verdugo Sitting Again Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Verdugo also sat out of Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets, and the team had an off day on Monday. It's a bit concerning that Verdugo isn't back in the lineup, especially against Braves […]

Dodgers Acquiring Enrique Hernandez From Red Sox

The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Dodgers are sending Boston in return. Hernandez will return to the Dodgers after playing for the team from 2015-2020. He has spent the last two-plus seasons in Beantown, hitting .234/.308/.382 with 32 […]

Adam Duvall Receiving Trade Interest From Braves

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall is being eyed by the Atlanta Braves prior to the Aug. 1 MLB trade deadline. Of course, the Braves are familiar with Duvall as the slugger spent parts of four seasons in Atlanta, providing them with excellent production for the vast majority of that time. It's no surprise to […]

Pablo Reyes Reinstated From Injured List

The Boston Red Sox reinstated infielder Pablo Reyes (abdomen) from the injured list on Monday and optioned relievers Justin Garza and Brandon Walter to Triple-A Worcester in corresponding moves. Reyes is back in Boston after missing around a month with an abdominal injury, and he'll provide infield depth moving forward. The 29-year-old went 11-for-41 with […]

Wikelman Gonzalez Tosses Six Hitless Innings

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Wikelman Gonzalez threw six hitless innings, striking out 10 en route to a combined no-hitter for Double-A Portland. The 21-year-old was recently promoted and has turned in a 0.75 ERA and 0.75 WHIP through his first two Double-A starts. Gonzalez isn't a particularly heralded prospect, ranking 11th in the Red […]

Ceddanne Rafaela On Fire In Triple-A

Boston Red Sox top outfield prospect Ceddanne Rafaela went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's game in Triple-A. Rafaela was promoted to Triple-A in late June and has been hitting well ever since. The 22-year-old prospect had six home runs and 18 doubles in 60 games in Double-A, but he has hit […]

Alex Verdugo Is Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets. This looks to just be a day off for the struggling outfielder who is slashing a meager .077/.200/.115 with one RBI and one stolen base over the last seven games. Boston is going with Masataka […]

Justin Turner Shifts To Second Base

Boston Red Sox infielder Justin Turner normally serves as the designated hitter, but will actually get to play the field on Friday. The 38-year-old will cover second base for the seventh time this season. He's also started at third base seven starts this season, but usually serves as the DH. The fact he's moving around […]

Jarren Duran Playing On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran will make his return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. The lefty outfielder sat out Thursday's game due to the fact left-hander Ken Waldichuk was on the mound for Oakland.
