Adam Ottavino Gets Save Friday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino earned his ninth save of the season Friday night, as he walked one and struck out two of the four Cleveland batters he faced. With fellow reliever Matt Barnes struggling, the closer role is up for grabs, at least in the short term, and it would appear Ottavino […]

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez earned his 10th win of the season against Cleveland Friday night, throwing seven innings and allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk. He only struck out two batters. Rodriguez is enjoying his best month of the season in August, with a 3.33 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, […]

Rafael Devers Homers And Steals A Base Thursday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers had a strong game Thursday night, going 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in a 12-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber reached base in all five of his plate appearances Thursday, going 1-for-1 with a double and four walks. He scored one run.

Roto league managers will want a few more to move up or to keep their top spot, while head-to-head managers will want to ensure that they have more than their […]

Recent Velocity Decliners - Arms To Abandon

We are about to turn the calendar to September, which means that a lot of the league's starting pitchers have gone through a five-month slog putting a ton of work on their throwing arms. This was possibly even a tougher challenge in 2021 after the shortened 2020 season severely reduced the requested workloads that these […]

Bobby Dalbec Homers Twice, Drives In Seven

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec had the game of his life Thursday night, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored, and seven RBI against the Minnesota Twins. He's slashing .395/.477/.921 with five home runs and 19 RBI in his last 15 games, a time frame which, perhaps coincidentally, coincides with the […]

Chris Sale Strikes Out Eight Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale once again looked very strong, striking out eight Minnesota Twins in 5 1/3 innings Wednesday. He allowed two runs on two hits and two walks, with the only blemish being a two-run home run by Willians Astudillo. Sale also accomplished his third career immaculate inning in the third […]

Christian Vazquez Tallies Two Hits In Wednesday's Loss

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the team's 9-6 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. It was his third multi-hit game of the month. Vazquez has had a quiet year offensively, especially from a power perspective. He has hit just one home run since late June, despite seeing […]

Hansel Robles Implodes Wednesday Night

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles may have been the new favorite for saves before Wednesday night's game, but he probably isn't any longer. Robles entered for the top of the 10th inning, and gave up five runs (four earned) on three hits with one strikeout. Two of those hits allowed were home runs. […]

Nick Pivetta Lasts Four Innings Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta only managed to last four innings against the Minnesota Twins Wednesday, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out five batters and yielded two home runs. That makes back-to-back tough starts for Pivetta, who didn't make it out of the second inning in […]

Kyle Schwarber Hits First Boston Homer

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber came through with his first Beantown home run Wednesday night, delivering a game-tying two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth. He went 3-for-6 in the extra-inning loss. Schwarber has picked up right where he left off in Boston, slashing .379/.514/.586 in his first 37 plate appearances with the […]

Kike Hernandez Adds Late Home Run Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez had a big day at the plate Wednesday night, going 3-for-6 with a double, a home run, and two runs scored, but unfortunately it was not enough to avoid a 9-6 extra-inning loss to the Minnesota Twins. Hernandez has now homered in back-to-back games, and is slashing .321/.443/.518 […]
