Adam Ottavino Locks Down 14th Hold

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino has been very reliable all season, and Friday was no different.

Martin Perez Knocked Out In The Fourth Inning

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez was knocked out in the fourth inning Friday having recorded only 11 outs despite not allowing a single earned run.

Christian Vazquez Reaches Base Three Times Friday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez reached base three times Friday, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI against the New York Yankees. Vazquez now has a very modest three-game hit streak, with multiple hits in the last two. He's struggled all year, but perhaps Vazquez is beginning to put things together. Fantasy managers […]

Hunter Renfroe Reaches Base Three Times, Drives In Two

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe reached based in all three of his plate appearances against the New York Yankees Friday, going 1-for-1 with a double, two walks, a run scored, and two RBI.

Xander Bogaerts Drives In Two Friday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a double against the New York Yankees Friday, driving in two runs and scoring another.

Boston Red Sox utility man Michael Chavis led off for the second time in two games since being recalled on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base against the Yankees. The steal was his first of the season. The Red Sox have gotten little production from the top spot in the […]

It's a disappointing turn for fantasy managers, who saw Dalbec […]

Christian Vazquez Steals Seventh Base Of Season

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez was the only player on either team with multiple hits Thursday, going 2-for-3 with two singles and his seventh stolen base of the year.

Nick Pivetta Exits In Seventh With No-Hitter

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta had his best start of the season Thursday, exiting after 6 2/3 no-hit innings. He struck out eight batters and only permitted two baserunners via walk.

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec struck out four times in five at-bats Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

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.

Xander Bogaerts Scores Twice, Steals A Base

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.
