Top Red Sox News

  • Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Bregman is not part of Sunday's starting lineup against the Cubs, Christopher of Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    As reported over the weekend, the Red Sox are managing Bregman's playing time early on his return from a quadriceps injury. Marcelo Mayer will start at third base in Sunday's series finale. Bregman is expected to start the first two games of the series against the Phillies on Monday and Tuesday.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Starting at second base

    Rafaela will start at second base and bat third Sunday against the Cubs, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    This will be Rafaela's second start at the keystone in the last week. Red Sox manager Alex Cora is following through on a statement from last week when he said he planned on using Rafaela one of two times per week at second base, which allows the Red Sox have as many lefty hitters in the lineup as possible against a right-hander.

  • Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Quality start in loss

    Bello (6-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-0 loss to the Cubs. He struck out four.

    The right-hander delivered a quality start Saturday, despite surrendering first-inning homers to Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker. Bello has put together a strong 2025 campaign, posting a 3.23 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 97.2 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts).

  • Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Suffers setback during rehab

    Houck was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to a recurrence of a right pronator strain, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Houck was first diagnosed with a right pronator strain in mid-May, and he subsequently landed on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander kicked off a minor-league rehab stint about a month later and pitched in five games, posting a 5.74 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 15.2 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. There had been optimism that Houck was close to being activated, but the setback means he'll likely be out for another significant chunk of time.

  • Red Sox's Richard Fitts: In line to start Tuesday

    Fitts is scheduled to start Tuesday's road game in Philadelphia, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    After Hunter Dobbins (knee) was ruled out for the season due to a torn ACL, Fitts was called up from Triple-A Worchester on July 12 to fill his spot on the active roster. Fitts went unused out of the bullpen in Boston's final two games before the All-Star break, but he'll assume Dobbins' spot in the rotation to begin the second half. The right-hander could end up being in line for an extended stay in the rotation, as Tanner Houck (elbow) suffered a setback during his rehab assignment and now seemingly isn't a candidate to return from the injured list anytime soon.

  • Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Restarts throwing program

    Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Slaten (shoulder) has resumed playing catch, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    The Red Sox pulled Slaten off his throwing program last week in an effort to focus on building strength in his shoulder. Now that the team is satisfied with his strength, the right-handed reliever will begin building back up. He remains without an official return timeline, but he figures to still be multiple weeks away from activation.

  • Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Back from assignment, still inactive

    The Red Sox returned Houck (elbow) from his rehab assignment Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Although Houck's 30-day rehab window is now closed, the fact that Boston has yet to activate him indicates he isn't quite ready to return. The 29-year-old righty posted a 5.74 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 15.2 innings during his five-start assignment, though he gave up only one run in his final two outings (9.1 IP). He also owns a hefty 8.04 ERA through 43.2 frames in the majors this year, so there's no guarantee he'll have a place in the Sox's rotation whenever he is activated.

  • Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Out of lineup Saturday

    Duran isn't starting against the Cubs on Saturday.

    The Cubs are sending southpaw Shota Imanaga to the mound, so the lefty-hitting Duran will be on the bench to begin the contest. Duran has a poor .564 OPS against lefties this season. Rob Refsnyder is getting the start in left field for Boston on Saturday.

  • Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Planned playing time revealed

    Boston manager Alex Cora said Bregman will play four of the six games on the team's current road trip, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Bregman was activated off the injured list last week and played two of three games prior to the All-Star break. He started the first game back from the break Friday and will start again Saturday before getting Sunday off. The manager said Bregman will start Monday and Tuesday in Philadelphia before getting Wednesday off.

  • Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Hangs in after early trouble

    Giolito (6-2) took the loss in Friday's 4-1 defeat against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across 5.1 innings while recording six strikeouts.

    Giolito ran into trouble immediately Friday, issuing back-to-back walks and serving up a three-run homer to Seiya Suzuki before recording his first out. The right-hander recovered well from the rocky start, keeping the Cubs quiet over the next four innings before exiting in the sixth after surrendering a double to Ian Happ. Despite the tough outing, the 31-year-old has now registered at least five strikeouts in six straight starts and owns a 1.66 ERA with a 39:9 K:BB across 38 innings during that stretch. Giolito is slated to make his next start July 23 against the Phillies.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Weekly starts at keystone

    Rafaela will be added to the mix at second base and possibly play one or two games per week at the position, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. "Give him one or maybe two starts at second so we can get everybody else in the lineup," Boston manager Alex Cora said.

    Occasionally moving Rafaela to second base would allow Cora to get as many left-handed bats into the lineup as possible against righties, and reduce the logjam in the outfield. On the days when Rafaela plays second base, Jarren Duran will patrol center field with Roman Anthony in left and Wilyer Abreu in right, while Masataka Yoshida serves as the designated hitter.

  • Red Sox's Josh Winckowski: In throwing progression

    Winckowski (elbow) is in the early stages of a throwing progression at the Red Sox' spring training complex in Florida, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Winkowski suffered a right flexor strain at Triple-A Worcester back in mid-May and was recalled and placed on the 60-day major-league injured list in early June. He will not be eligible for activation until early August, and it sounds like it will be longer than that before he'll be an option for the Red Sox.

  • Red Sox's Ronaldo Hernandez: Signs with Boston

    Hernandez signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Thursday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Now short on minor-league catchers after sending Blake Sabol to the White Sox, Boston will bring in Hernandez to round out Triple-A Worcester's backstop unit. The 27-year-old was released by the Yankees on July 4 after slashing .221/.287/.351 across 87 plate appearances at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and barring a significant turnaround, he doesn't seem on track to make his MLB debut this year.
