Nathan Eovaldi Mediocre In Rain-Shortened Start

Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi allowed three runs on three hits in two innings of work during Friday's 6-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Week 23 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Ian Kinsler Delivers Three Hits On Thursday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Ian Kinsler was 3-for-4 at the plate on Thursday during a 9-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Mookie Betts Smokes Two-Run Shot On Thursday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts was 2-for-5 at the plate with a two-run homer on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. Betts also walked once and struck out once.

Boston Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez smacked a three-run shot in the top of the ninth inning during Thursday's win against the Chicago White Sox. He was 1-for-5 at the plate with one strikeout.

Rick Porcello Has Another Ineffective Outing

Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello allowed four runs on eight hits through five innings on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. He also had seven strikeouts and three walks. Luckily, his offense bailed him out and gave him a no-decision as the Red Sox came back to win 9-4. Porcello has simply not been […]

Mitch Moreland Remains Out of the Lineup on Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This will be the second straight game that Moreland has missed due to a left knee contusion. He's considered day-to-day, so no disabled list stint for Moreland yet. Brock Holt will play first […]

Dustin Pedroia To Be Re-Evaluated Sept. 7

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) will return to Boston on Sept. 5 and will be re-evaluated by the team on Sept. 7. Pedroia has had just 11 at-bats due to knee issues in 2018 and remains a long shot to play again this season, even in the postseason. That's the main reason […]

Mookie Betts Leads Red Sox Offense On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts victimized the Miami Marlins in a 14-6 win on Wednesday night. Betts was 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run, three RBI, and three runs scored. The offensive outburst was nice to see as Betts had been a bit quiet in the run-producing department over the past two […]

Mitch Moreland Dealing With Knee Issue

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (knee) did not start on Wednesday because of a knee issue that happened when he banged his knee on concrete during the last homestand. The injury doesn't sound very serious, but Moreland may need a few more days of rest. The left-handed hitter has 15 home runs, a […]

Boston Red Sox utility man Eduardo Nunez was 3-for-4 on Wednesday with two RBI, three runs scored, and a solo shot.

X-Rays Negative On David Price

Updating a previous report, X-rays on Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price's left wrist came up negative after he was smoked by a line drive during his start on Wednesday. The Red Sox will send him for further testing. The left-hander appears to have avoided serious injury, but he may still have to miss […]

David Price Leaves Start After Being Hit By Liner

Boston Red Sox starter David Price left Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins in the third inning after he was struck by a comebacker off of the bat of Austin Dean.

Mitch Moreland is Out on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Moreland is in an 0-for-9 slump at the plate, so he'll get the night off. Steve Pearce will draw the start at first base and bat third against righty Trevor Richards. Pearce is in […]

Steven Wright Makes Scoreless Rehab Appearance

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) threw two scoreless, hitless innings with Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday with one walk and one strikeout.

Christian Vazquez To Return This Weekend

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez (finger) will come off the disabled list weekend to face the White Sox. Vazquez is more of a defensive standout than a fantasy option for his bat. He was hitting only .213 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 207 at-bats before his injury. Vazquez will return to […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Will Start on Saturday

Boston Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) will return from the disabled list to start Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Rodriguez has been great in his first two rehab starts. He went four scoreless innings with Double-A Portland on Monday, allowing just two hits while striking out six. This bodes well, as Rodriguez […]

Brian Johnson A Solid Streaming Option On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starter Brian Johnson has a nice matchup against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The Marlins are second last in the MLB in runs scored, second last in home runs, and bottom-five in batting average. Johnson actually picked up his first win of this season against the Marlins back in April, allowing one […]

Steve Pearce Sitting Out On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Steve Pearce is back on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Pearce saw an uptick in action lately due to off days for other players, but he struggled in his three appearances. He was just 2-for-11 in that time span with no RBI. He had a scorching hot […]
