Mookie Betts Injury: Red Sox Outfielder Day To Day With Knee Soreness
Share this: The Boston Red Sox lost another important player to injury Friday night, but they’re hoping to have dodged a bullet this time. All-Star right fielder Mookie Betts left Friday’s 2-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins in the fifth inning with knee soreness, something Sox manager John Farrell told the media postgame that Betts had been dealing with since returning from the All-Star break. “He got a little soreness, a little stiffness, as the game went on and felt like he couldn’t run as normal,” Farrell told the media in his postgame news conference, as seen on NESN’s “Red Sox Final.” “(As a) precaution we got him off his feet and we’ll check him when he’s in tomorrow (Saturday) to see if
Eduardo Rodriguez Looks To Build On Strong Start Vs. Struggling Twins
Share this: BOSTON — Eduardo Rodriguez is coming off his best outing of the season, and he’ll get a chance to start a hot streak against the worst team in the American League. The left-hander threw seven innings of one-run ball against the New York Yankees on July 16, a stark contrast from the numbers he was putting up before being optioned to Triple-A. Rodriguez will face off against a Minnesota Twins team Friday that only managed to score two runs on four hits against Steven Wright the night before. The only change to the Red Sox’s lineup Thursday is Sandy Leon filling in for Ryan Hanigan, who Boston manager John Farrell said went through some “turmoil” catching for Wright on Thursday. Leon will bat

Red Sox Notes: Top Half Of Boston’s Lineup Explodes In 13-2 Drubbing Of Twins
Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox piled on the Minnesota Twins on Thursday to the tune of 13 runs, and nearly 70 percent of them were driven in by the first four batters in Boston’s lineup. Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts and David Ortiz went a combined 14-for-19 (.737) with 10 runs, nine RBIs, two home runs and four doubles split among them. And needless to say, Red Sox manager John Farrell was pretty pleased with what he saw. “The top half of the lineup was outstanding,” Farrell said after the 13-2 win. “(Pedroia), five hits, you don’t see very often. Mookie, as I mentioned, the way he’s going right now — the month of July has been a very good offensive
Ryan Hanigan Catching For Steven Wright In Red Sox-Twins Series Opener
BOSTON — The Red Sox are coming off a two-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants, and now it’s Steven Wright’s turn to keep up Boston’s winning ways. The knuckleballer will be on the mound Thursday for the first contest of the Red Sox’s four-game series against the Minnesota Twins. Wright has had a little bit of trouble in July so far, putting up a 6.35 ERA in three starts, but he still earned the win in each of those games. His 2.78 ERA also is second in the American League behind the Cleveland Indians’ Danny Salazar. Ryan Hanigan will catch for Wright to give Sandy Leon a day off, as the two backstops have been following a two games on, two games
