Hunter Renfroe Delivers Three Infield Hits

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe had some good fortune Saturday, going 3-for-4 with three infield hits. He drove in one run.

Christian Vazquez Reaches Base Three Times Friday

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez reached base three times Friday, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI against the New York Yankees.

Xander Bogaerts Drives In Two Friday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a double against the New York Yankees Friday, driving in two runs and scoring another.

Boston Red Sox utility man Michael Chavis led off for the second time in two games since being recalled on Friday, going 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base against the Yankees. The steal was his first of the season. The Red Sox have gotten little production from the top spot in the […]

Bobby Dalbec Strikes Out Twice More Thursday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec went 0-for-2 Thursday, striking out in both his plate appearances.

It's a disappointing turn for fantasy managers, who saw Dalbec […]
