Red Sox Vs. Royals Lineup: Sam Travis, Deven Marrero Return For Boston
Share this: The Boston Red Sox’s lineup will have a much different look for Game 2 of the three-game series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Rookies Sam Travis and Deven Marrero make their return to Boston’s lineup as a result of a pair of roster moves. Pablo Sandoval was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left inner ear infection and pitcher Austin Maddox has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket. With lefty Mike Strahm taking the hill for the Royals, the Red Sox opted to sit a few of their left-handed bats. Travis will take over the first base duties in place of Mitch Moreland, while Chris Young gets the nod in left field instead of Andrew Benintendi. Boston also will
Red Sox Notes: Boston Makes Statement With Series Win Over Astros
Share this: The Boston Red Sox have had an up-and-down season thus far, but a successful weekend trip to Houston has the Sox riding high. Boston took two of three games from the Major League Baseball-best Astros, capped off by a gritty 6-5 win Sunday night at Minute Maid Park. The Father’s Day victory, especially, showed signs of what the Red Sox are capable of. They received a mediocre performance out of starter David Price, and the bullpen wasn’t as strong as it has been of late. Even Craig Kimbrel veered from his dominant self with a shaky ninth inning. But thanks to timely hitting and strong defense, Boston overcame its faults to earn one of its most impressive victories of the 2017 season. And

Red Sox Draft Tracker: Who Did Boston Pick In 2017 MLB Draft?
The Boston Red Sox have seen their early-round draft selections make an impact at the major league level much sooner than anticipated. Andrew Benintendi, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft, already has become a staple in the Red Sox’s lineup and is poised to be a part of a dynamic outfield with fellow Boston draft picks Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr. for quite some time. Starting Monday, the Red Sox will add a new group of prospects in the 2017 MLB draft. It could be some time before you see these players in action at Fenway Park, but they certainly will be names to keep an eye on
Red Sox’s Bullpen Impresses During 6-5 Win Over Phillies At Fenway Park
Share this: The Boston Red Sox fell behind early Monday night, but their bullpen allowed them to come back. Dustin Pedroia’s second career walk-off hit gave the Red Sox a 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night at Fenway Park. Boston’s bullpen tossed five scoreless innings to give the Red Sox an opportunity to grab the victory. To hear NESN’s Jerry Remy break down the win, check out the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. More Stories Source link
Red Sox Notes: Josh Rutledge’s Glove Might Make Him A Regular In Boston’s Lineup
Share this: On a night when he got the start because of his defense, Josh Rutledge made the most of his time at the plate. The Boston Red Sox third baseman got the start Saturday night against the Detroit Tigers because he is reliable with the glove, and Pablo Sandoval has struggled with routine plays this season. With Chris Sale on the mound for Boston, it seemed prudent for manager John Farrell to start Rutledge after Sandoval struggled in the field behind lefty Brian Johnson on Friday night. But while Rutledge did his job in the field during the Red Sox’s 11-3 win at Fenway Park on Saturday, he made his presence known with his bat more than his glove. The 28-year-old infielder reached base
