Heath Hembree Blows Save, Earns Win Wednesday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Heath Hembree blew a 12th-inning save chance before locking down a 6-5 win, in the 13th inning, over Toronto Wednesday. Following Mookie Betts' 12th-inning go-ahead home run, Hembree served up a two-out solo shot to Rowdy Tellez to tie it at five. The Sox were able to plate another in […]

Rick Porcello Impressive Over Six Innings Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello went six innings against the Blue Jays Wednesday, allowing just one run, on three hits, while striking out four, and walking none in a game that lasted 13 innings. The only blemish against the righty was a solo home run by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the fourth. When […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/23/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are nine games on the schedule today, with a lot of elite pitching and not much in the way of hitting. We will attempt to find some value, but there's not a whole lot of offense that I am too high on. We see Fanduel being split into an early slate and main slate, […]

Xander Bogaerts Keeps Raking

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-6 with one RBI on Wednesday. He’s hitting .375 over the past two weeks with a homer, 11 runs, and nine RBI. Bogaerts is just about as solid as they come when he’s fully healthy in the heart of the Sox order. It would be nice to see […]

Rafael Devers Hits Homer In Third Straight Game

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has hit three home runs in his last three games. He homered on Wednesday against the Blue Jays to increase his total to six on the season. He’s also slashing a terrific .320/.390/.472 with six steals. If owners were disappointed in the power before this week, they sure […]

Michael Chavis Hits Game-Winning Homer

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis hit a game winning solo home run to lift the Red Sox over the Blue Jays Wednesday. There were doubts about him hanging on to the second base job with Eduardo Nunez available and Dustin Pedroia rehabbing, but those are long gone. This was his 10th home run […]

Marcus Walden Blows Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Marcus Walden blew the save opportunity in a 4-3 game on Wednesday. With the Red Sox struggling to find anyone who can lock down the ninth, the situation isn’t ideal for fantasy managers. Even Matt Barnes, who has been great so far, let up an eighth inning home run to […]

J.D. Martinez Dealing With Sore Back

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is dealing with a sore back on top of his illness this week. There's a chance he might not play on Thursday. Martinez has been out since Sunday, and fantasy owners might have to start preparing for a possible trip to the injured list if his back doesn't […]

Ryan Weber To Start Thursday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Weber will start on Thursday against the Blue Jays on the road. It will come in the place of Hector Velazquez, who was lit up in his last turn in the rotation. Weber, 28, has starting experience but has thrown just eight innings in three relief outings for Boston this […]

J.D. Martinez Still Absent Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. Martinez has been out sick since Sunday, but hopefully he can return to the lineup on Thursday in the matinee game. The slugger is a must-start anytime he's in the starting lineup. Catcher Christian Vazquez is serving as the designated […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Homers In Second Consecutive Game

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. finished 2-for-4 on Tuesday, including an eighth-inning, solo home run, his second in as many days. His first four-bagger didn't come until May 20, but in just the following day he has two on the year. There is definitely some power potential in Bradley's bat, after hitting 13, […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Gets Shelled Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was able to last just five innings after allowing six runs, on six hits, while fanning five, and walking three in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to Toronto. It was relatively smooth sailing for Rodriguez, through the first three innings, allowing just one hit, and one walk. Along came the […]

Mitch Moreland Homers Tuesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland hit a solo home run on Tuesday in the Sox loss to the Blue Jays. Although it’s only been a week, Moreland’s bat has cooled off a bit from the beginning of the month. Still, he’s been one of the Red Sox biggest producers this year. He’s doing […]

J.D. Martinez Out Sick Tuesday

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (illness) is out of the lineup on Tuesday because he's sick. It helps explain why he hasn't played in the last two games, so his fantasy owners can relax a little bit. The 31-year-old continues to mash this year, hitting .308/.390/.521 with nine home runs, […]

Nathan Eovaldi Throws Bullpen Session on Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. Eovaldi has been sidelined since April after undergoing a surgery to remove a loose body from his right elbow. Eovaldi could rejoin the Red Sox rotation by the middle of June if he continues to pitch without any setbacks.

J.D. Martinez To Sit For Second Day In A Row Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez is out of the lineup for a second consecutive day on Tuesday. There's been no word whether this is due to some sort of injury, but a second day off would lead you to think something is up. Steve Pearce will get the start at first and Jackie Bradley […]

Mookie Betts Has Hit Safely In 10 Of Last 11

Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts finished 1-for-5 on Monday, in a 12-2 win over Toronto. The reigning American League MVP is riding a modest five-game hitting streak, and has a hit in 10 of his last 11 games. Betts hasn't hit a home run since May 8, but he does have three doubles […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Hits First Homer Of Season

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. clubbed a two-run, sixth inning home run, marking his only hit in a 12-2 win over Toronto Monday. The two-RBI day marks the third of it's kind, this season, for Bradley. However, it was only the second game in the month of May where he delivered at least […]

David Price Looks Great In Shortened Return

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price returned from the injured list to start Tuesday, spanning five innings, allowing two unearned runs, on four hits, while striking out four, and walking none in a 12-2 win over Toronto. The 33-year-old wasn't particularly filthy, but he was effective, throwing 48 of 67 pitches for strikes. Despite […]

Rafael Devers Has Huge Game Monday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers stuffed the stat sheet Monday with a home run, three RBI, a stolen base, and two runs scored in Boston's rout of the Blue Jays. Devers got off to a somewhat slow start but has turned it on in May. Devers owns a strong .515 slugging percentage in […]

Matt Barnes Caps Off Great Week

Boston Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes earned his sixth hold Sunday, retiring the side in the eighth inning of a 4-3 win over Houston. Barnes was near perfect in the Week of May 13, allowing just one hit in 12 batters faced, while also punching out seven. The 28-year-old hasn't recorded a save since May […]

Brandon Workman Records First Career Save

Boston Red Sox reliever Brandon Workman nailed down his first major league save Sunday, in a 4-3 win over Houston. The 30-year-old needed 16 pitches to get through the ninth, fanning two and walking one. Workman has been solid this season, mainly serving in the seventh inning role. He hosts a 2.21 ERA in 20 […]

J.D. Martinez Sitting Monday, Steve Pearce Will DH

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D Martinez will get Monday off, against the Toronto Blue Jays. In his place, Steve Pearce will DH and bat seventh against right-hander Edwin Jackson. Pearce simply hasn't been good in 72 plate appearances this year, slashing just .121/.183/.152 with two doubles and four runs batted in, leaving him off […]
