J.D. Martinez Triples And Scores A Run

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez hit a triple Wednesday, a rare feat for the slugger who is not generally regarded as being fleet of foot. It was his only hit in three at-bats, though he also walked and scored a run in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez now has three […]

Christian Arroyo Has Two More Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo recorded two more hits Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Arroyo has shown no rust in his two games back from the injured list, and would appear to have the starting second base job locked up for the time being. He has a .258/.319/.439 […]

Xander Bogaerts With Three Hits Wednesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had three of Boston's nine hits Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored. Bogaerts is in the midst of a minor power outage, as he hasn't homered since June 15, but he has doubled 10 times since then and was robbed of a home […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Undone By Bloops And Blasts Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez closed out his first half Wednesday, and it did not go as well as he would have liked. He allowed four runs on nine hits and no walks to the Los Angeles Angels in five innings while striking out five. Much of the damage early came on bloop […]

Danny Santana May Go On The Injured List

Boston Red Sox utility man Danny Santana (quad) was removed from Tuesday's contest in the seventh inning after coming up limping while running out a ground ball. He was replaced at first base by Bobby Dalbec. It appears to be a 50-50 chance that Santana will be placed on the injured list, but fellow utility […]

Xander Bogaerts On-Base Streak Ends At 29 Games

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts did not reach base Tuesday night against the Angels, bringing his 29-game on-base streak to an end. Bogaerts nearly did extend it, as he was robbed of an opposite-field two-run home run by a leaping Juan Lagares in the sixth inning which would have given the Red Sox the […]

Hunter Renfroe Goes Deep Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe went deep off Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning of Tuesday's contest, but it was a case of too-little-too-late for the Sox, who lost 5-3. It was Renfroe's 13th home run of the year, with the solo shot being his only hit in four at-bats. […]

J.D. Martinez Drives In Two Tuesday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez drove in two runs Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez has been heating up of late, with a .320/.406/.640 slash line, two homers, and 11 RBI in his last seven games. He's a mainstay in the third spot […]

Nathan Eovaldi Takes The Loss Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi's brief streak of excellent starts came to an end Tuesday, as he allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk to the Los Angeles Angels in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out nine batters. The loss lowered his season record to 9-5, and his next appearance appears […]

Ty France Drives In A Run Tuesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France was the lone bright spot for the Mariner offense Tuesday, as he went 2-for-4 with an RBI. France has quietly been excellent over the last month or so, slashing .279/.359/.486 with five home runs over his last 30 days. France doesn't stand out in any one particular category and […]

Justus Sheffield Allows Six Runs Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield only managed to record five outs against the New York Yankees Tuesday, giving up six runs on five hits and three walks. He struck out two. His ERA is now an unfortunate 6.48 with a 1.78 WHIP. He's simply not been competitive of late, and his spot in the […]

Rafael Devers Homers, Drives In Three Monday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers led the way Monday, going 3-for-5 with a home run against the Los Angeles Angels. The three-run shot was Devers' 21st of the year and brings his RBI total to a whopping 71 on the season. The first-time all-star now has a seven-game hitting streak, during which time […]

Christian Arroyo Homers In Return To Lineup

Boston Red Sox utility man Christian Arroyo drew the start at second base in his first game back from the injured list, and wasted no time picking up right where he left off. Arroyo homered in his first at-bat of the game, his fifth of the year. He also walked in four plate appearances. Kike […]

Adam Ottavino Records Seventh Save Monday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino was credited with his seventh save of the year Monday, despite a shaky outing in which he allowed a run on two hits and a walk and came very close to losing the lead on a hard Shohei Ohtani line drive. He struck out two batters. Ottavino was […]

Martin Perez Allows One Earned Run Monday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez put together a solid outing Monday, lasting 5 1/3 innings and only allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and a walk. He struck out three batters. Perez improved his record on the year to 7-4. This is his second consecutive strong outing, though fantasy managers are […]

Alex Verdugo Sits Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is not in the lineup against the Los Angeles Angels Monday. In his stead, Kike Hernandez will slot into center field, and Christian Arroyo will get the start at second base in his return from the injured list. It looks to be a routine day off, and fantasy managers […]

Matt Barnes Records 19th Save Sunday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes picked up yet another save Sunday, his 19th of the year and his third in the last week. He allowed no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Barnes has been used quite a lot this season, with 37 appearances already, and he's […]

Garrett Whitlock Records Eighth Hold Sunday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock recorded his eighth hold of the year Sunday, allowing just one hit in a clean inning of work. He lowered his ERA to 1.54 in the process. The right-hander had a solid case to be an All-Star, but he'll have to settle for just being a very important […]

Nick Pivetta Strikes Out Ten In Gem Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta pitched perhaps his best game of the year Sunday, throwing seven innings of shutout ball. He allowed just two hits and two walks to the Oakland Athletics while striking out ten batters. This comes on the heels of a no-hit outing over 6 2/3 innings just two starts […]

Alex Verdugo Doubles Twice In Win Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo was the offensive standout Sunday, doubling twice in a tight 1-0 win over the Oakland Athletics. Verdugo went 2-for-3 with a walk and scored the game's only run. Entering Sunday's game, Verdugo had only collected eight extra-base hits since the start of June, so fantasy managers have to be […]

Kendall Graveman Earns Eighth Save In Perfect Frame

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman earned his eighth save of the season Sunday, throwing a perfect inning against the Texas Rangers. He struck out one batter. In a season as strong as Graveman's, it's somewhat shocking for him to have just eight saves. If he were used as a traditional closer his fantasy value […]

Chris Flexen Earns Seventh Win Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen earned a win on Sunday, increasing his record to 7-3 by throwing six innings and only allowing one run on four hits and no walks. He also struck out five batters. It was his seventh quality start of the year, and he's been especially good over his last seven […]

Shed Long Jr. Hits Moonshot Homer Sunday

Seattle Mariners utility man Shed Long Jr. went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Sunday, a long shot to right field off Texas Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz. It was his fourth homer of the year.

Luis Torrens Hits Ninth Homer Sunday

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens hit his ninth home run of the season Sunday, a three-run shot off Texas Rangers starter Mike Foltynewicz in the fourth inning.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Josh Taylor threw a scoreless inning against the Oakland Athletics Saturday, allowing two hits and striking out one batter en route to his 12th hold.

Garrett Richards Throws Five Solid Innings Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Richards allowed only two runs on five hits and three walks in five innings against the Oakland Athletics Saturday. He also hit a batter and struck out two.

Kike Hernandez Homers, Reaches Four Times In Loss

Boston Red Sox utility man Kike Hernandez is enjoying the best stretch of his season of late, and he added another homer to it on Saturday.

Kyle Seager Homers, Reaches Four Times

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had his best game in some time Saturday, going 2-for-2 with a home run, two walks, and two runs scored. It's his 15th homer of the year. Entering the game, his on-base percentage had slipped all the way to .280, but he's now posted three two-hit contests in his […]

Marco Gonzales Knocked Around In Return Saturday
