Adam Duvall To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Adam Duvall (wrist) will start his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Worcester. Duvall resumed hitting off a tee and doing soft toss last weekend, so he's expected to be around three weeks from returning to the major-league roster. The 34-year-old power-hitting outfielder has been rehabbing from a fractured left […]

Rafael Devers Gets Rare Off Day

David Hamilton - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: David Hamilton, SS, Boston Red Sox ANALYSIS: If not for an Achilles injury in his draft season, Hamilton very well may have been a first-day talent in the draft, but the Brewers snagged him in the eighth round of 2019. He spent the rest of that year rehabbing and then missed the 2020 pandemic […]

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Corey Kluber Moving To The Bullpen

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced on Wednesday that the team will move right-handed veteran Corey Kluber to the bullpen in the wake of Tanner Houck's latest strong performance.
