Connor Seabold Exits With Forearm Tightness Friday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Connor Seabold (forearm) was removed from his start against the New York Yankees on Friday due to right forearm extensor tightness. The 26-year-old was hit hard prior to his removal from the game. His final line was 2 2/3 innings, nine hits, two walks, seven earned runs and two strikeouts. He […]

Rafael Devers Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. The young slugger exited the game after hitting the railing while going after a foul ball. Manager Alex Cora mentioned that Devers won't suit up for Saturday's contest. It sounds like Devers is day-to-day, but the […]

Rafael Devers Removed From Friday's Game

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed from Friday's game against the New York Yankees in the top of the fifth inning due to an apparent lower-back injury. The 25-year-old went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts before exiting. He appeared to be wincing in pain and grabbing his lower back after striking out […]

Chris Sale To Make Season Debut On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (ribs) is set to make his season debut on Tuesday, according to manager Alex Cora. The left-hander struggled during his last rehab outing, but apparently feels good enough to return. The Red Sox are likely to have Sale on a pitch count during his first outing. The Tampa […]

Connor Seabold To Make The Start On Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connor Seabold has been recalled to take the mound against the New York Yankees on Friday. He'll take the spot of Michael Wacha (shoulder) who has been placed on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old has been struggling during his short stints with the Red Sox this season. It's highly […]

Jarren Duran To Sit Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Duran went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on Thursday. Rob Refsnyder will bat leadoff and play center field versus lefty Nestor Cortes. Fantasy managers should be […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Brayan Bello Will Get A Second Start On Monday

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Brayan Bello is remaining with the big league club for now and he will make his second MLB start on Monday, facing the Tampa Bay Rays once again. Bello has been absolutely dominant in the minors this year, compiling a 2.33 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP while averaging 12.1 K/9 […]

Updated MLB Prospects Rankings - Top 25 Fantasy Baseball Prospects (Week 13)

We are back for another week of our fantasy baseball prospects rankings series, reviewing MLB prospects to make fantasy impacts in 2022.

Enrique Hernandez To Start Rehab Assignment Friday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) will begin his minor league rehab assignment on Friday for Triple-A Worcester. If everything goes well on his rehab assignment this weekend, Hernandez could rejoin the Red Sox's roster early next week. The 30-year-old hasn't done much for fantasy managers this year with a slash line of .209/.273/.340 […]

Michael Wacha Won't Pitch Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha (arm) has not bounced back well from his side session and is still battling a "heavy arm." As a result, he will not start on Friday against the division-rival New York Yankees. Boston hasn't listed a replacement for Friday. While Wacha is still hoping to avoid a trip […]

Chris Sale Could Make Season Debut Tuesday

Boston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that starting pitcher Chris Sale (ribs) will pitch somewhere next Tuesday, "but there's a good chance he'll pitch with us," which would be against the Tampa Bay Rays. Sale is attempting to return from a stress fracture on the right side of his rib cage that he suffered […]

Garrett Whitlock To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (hip) will throw one or two innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Worcester on Friday. The 26-year-old has been out for a month now due to hip tightness.

Nathan Eovaldi Set For Rehab Outing Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (back) is set to make his first rehab appearance at Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. He is expected to throw three innings in the outing. Eovaldi has been on the injured list with lower back inflammation since June 12. It's unclear how many rehab outings he'll need prior to […]

Michael Wacha Up In The Air For Friday's Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha (arm) is questionable for his start against the New York Yankees on Friday. Wacha has been dealing with a "heavy arm" lately. The issue caused him to be scratched from his start against the Tampa Bay Rays this past Monday. The team went with a bullpen game in […]

Rafael Devers Returns Against Yankees

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back, hamstring) is back at third base and is hitting second in the lineup on Thursday against New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Devers sat out the last two games with a sore right hamstring and back tightness, but it was never considered serious, and he'll return to […]

Rich Hill Throws Off Flat Ground Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) completed a throwing session off flat ground on Wednesday. He stated that his left knee felt good after the session. Hill, who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a left knee sprain, could be trending towards the minimum stay on the injured list. […]

Brayan Bello Allows Four Runs In MLB Debut

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello labored through his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale (rib) allowed one earned run on three hits and five walks while striking out five across 3 2/3 innings during Wednesday's rehab start for Triple-A Worcester. The 33-year-old threw 72 pitches, landing just 42 for strikes. Boston was hoping the southpaw would throw 4-to-5 innings on Wednesday, but Sale […]

Rafael Devers Sitting Wednesday With Injuries

Boston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that third baseman Rafael Devers (back, hamstring) will sit out again on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. "Little bit sore, right hammy, tight back," Cora said. Devers will miss his second straight game, but the injuries sound pretty minor, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for […]
