Rivera allows three earned runs vs. Rays

Eduardo Rivera

BOS Starting Pitcher #43

Player Stats

Eduardo Rivera allowed three earned runs over 2 1/3 innings while striking out three in Friday’s win over the Rays.

Rivera retired the first two batters he faced to start the top of the first inning, but proceeded to allow the next three batters he faced to reach base. Jonny DeLuca made the most of the bases-loaded opportunity when he singled to drive home Ryan Vilade and Junior Caminero to put the Rays up 2-0. Rivera would make it through the second inning unscathed, but was pulled in the third after allowing a solo homer to Junior Caminero to tie the game at 3-3. Rivera would be pulled immediately after allowing the homer to Caminero, marking his shortest outing of the season. He hasn’t gone more than 3 2/3 innings in any of his three starts. If he gets another outing in the rotation, it will most likely come on Wednesday against the Orioles.

Red Sox optioned LHP Eduardo Rivera to Triple-A Worcester.

No surprise here. Rivera heads back to the minors after surrendering four runs and recording just two outs during the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles. It’ll be Alec Gamboa sticking around as long relief depth for Boston after serving as the club’s 27th man for the twin bill.
Eduardo Rivera

BOS Starting Pitcher #43

Eduardo Rivera gave up four runs in two-thirds of an inning in starting the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.

Rivera was wild and just not good at all, but he probably would have gotten out of the first unscathed if not for Caleb Durbin making a bad call on a grounder to third with one out. Durbin could have ran to third for a forceout or thrown to first, but he instead tried for an unlikely double play and didn’t get any outs. Rivera struck out the next batter, but then just couldn’t get a third out afterwards. He might head back to Triple-A after this.
Ranger Suarez

BOS Starting Pitcher #55

Ranger Suarez (illness) will not be activated from the injured list for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.

Boston will attempt to notch their franchise-record 16th consecutive victory with rookie lefty Eduardo Rivera on the mound and Alec Gamboa coming up from Triple-A Worcester as long relief depth for Wednesday’s nightcap at Fenway Park. Suarez won’t be able to take the ball due to an illness. It’s challenging to pinpoint his exact return date given everything that has transpired in the last few days, but Suárez appears likely to return for either Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays or Monday’s matchup against the Athletics, if the Red Sox opt to give him a few extra days.

Tuesday’s game between the Orioles and Red Sox was postponed due to inclement weather.

It’s been pouring in Boston for most of the afternoon and the decision was made not to take any chances. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on Wednesday instead. There’s a chance that Ranger Suarez (groin) will be activated to take the ball during the twin bill, but that isn’t official yet. It was going to be Eduardo Rivera starting on Tuesday night in his place. Orioles starter Kyle Bradish will be pushed back to the doubleheader.
Ranger Suarez

BOS Starting Pitcher #55

Ranger Suarez (groin) will not come off the injured list to start Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

Instead, Eduardo Rivera will get the start. Interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed Monday that Suarez would be get the nod and come off the 15-day IL, but now fantasy managers will need to wait for an update to see when the 30-year-old will return to the mound. It’s worth noting that there is a chance for heavy rain Tuesday evening, and that certainly could be a factor into why the Red Sox are pushing Suarez.
Eduardo Rivera

BOS Starting Pitcher #43

Eduardo Rivera pitched 3 2/3 scoreless innings against the Mets in his spot start Saturday.

Pitching in Worcester, Rivera hadn’t gotten more than seven outs in an outing in over two months, making today’s performance particularly impressive. He nearly got through four innings hitless, but Jorge Polanco singled off him on the 10th pitch of his second at-bat to end his day. Rivera will likely head back to Triple-A now, but he definitely helped his stock.
Eduardo Rivera

BOS Starting Pitcher #43

Red Sox recalled LHP Eduardo Rivera from Triple-A Worcester.

Rivera draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s game against the Mets in place of an injured Ranger Suarez. The 23-year-old tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings during a relief appearance for the Red Sox back on April 22. He’s posted a strong 2.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 62/24 K/BB ratio across 48 innings at the Triple-A level this year. He’s an interesting young arm, but too risky to trust for fantasy purposes, despite a tasty road matchup against the Mets.

BOS Starting Pitcher

The Red Sox will call up Eduardo Rivera to start Saturday’s game against the Mets.

Brayan Bello will remain in Triple-A for now. Rivera made his MLB debut in April, pitching 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief in his one appearance. He’s been working in relief in Triple-A, so he’ll likely throw only a couple of innings in his start. Brett Harris figures to be sent down.
Eduardo Rivera

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox optioned LHP Eduardo Rivera to Triple-A Worcester.

Rivera threw 3.1 scoreless innings in his one appearance last night, but the usage made him the obvious pitcher to send down as the Red Sox called up Peyton Tolle to start on Thursday. Rivera should make a return engagement to the Red Sox in the near future.
Eduardo Rivera

BOS Starting Pitcher

Red Sox selected the contract of LHP Eduardo Rivera from Triple-A Worcester.

Rivera arrives in the big leagues shortly after being promoted to Triple-A Worcester earlier this week. The 22-year-old lefty provides Boston with some additional long relief depth while they deal with injuries and depth issues in their starting rotation mix. He’s unlikely to offer enough volume to make an impact for fantasy purposes before he’s shipped back to the minors.

Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander said Shane McClanahan (back) will be placed on the injured list.

He added that the team is “hoping” he only misses two starts and that the club considers it “pretty minor.” McClanahan left Thursday’s start with mid-back tightness after three innings and change with diminished velocity.

The New York Post’s Joel Sherman reports the Mets are scratching Freddy Peralta from Friday’s start.

The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal reported earlier today that the Mets are asking teams for a top-100 prospect “and more” in their early conversations with teams about Freddy Peralta. It appears they’re close enough on terms with a team to consider scratching Peralta to make sure he can turn up to a new team injury-free. It would seem likely that a rested Kodai Senga will shoulder most of the load in a bullpen game tonight.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Blake Dunn (elbow) will have season-ending surgery.

The good news for Dunn is that it was a career year — he hit .282/.335/.387 with two homers and six stolen bases in 155 plate appearances. The bad news is that we have no idea how long this elbow surgery will keep him out just yet. He’ll get another chance in Cincy’s outfield mix in 2027 if healthy.

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

The Athletic’s Katie Woo and Fabian Ardaya report Shohei Ohtani (knee) “did not sound certain this week that his knee will be at 100 percent the rest of the way.”

They point to the idea that Ohtani already needed a day off after recently getting one on Monday as a “red flag,” but note that it is “unlikely” the Dodgers will put Ohtani on the injured list. Still, this is an injury that sounds like it has a chance to linger and cause further interruptions to Ohtani down the stretch. Fantasy managers should be prepared for that possibility. Manager Dave Roberts has already said he’s “very confident” that Ohtani would start on Friday.

The Athletic’s Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal report the Mets are asking teams for a top-100 prospect “and more” in their early conversations with teams about Freddy Peralta.

It would certainly seem like a stretch that the Mets will get anything like what they gave up to get Peralta, though perhaps desperation will take the reins at the deadline after some other dominoes fall. Peralta is 5-9 with a 4.99 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 113 2/3 innings for the Mets this year, but other teams seem to believe they can fix him. The Cubs, Braves, Rays, and Phillies are among the clubs showing strong interest in Peralta per The Athletic reporters.

Orioles designated C Chadwick Tromp for assignment.

Tromp has played in 21 MLB games this year between the Braves and Orioles, hitting .163/.160/.184 in 51 plate appearances. The Orioles decided they’d rather trade for Jake Rogers. If Tromp clears waivers, he can elect free agency.

Sands is out for the season after settling on arthroscopic elbow surgery, so this is a procedural move to clear a 40-man roster spot for trade acquisition A.J. Minter.

Paul Goldschmidt will hit leadoff and play first base against the Cubs on Friday.

With the Cubs starting left-hander Shota Imanaga, the Yankees will have Goldschmidt and Amed Rosario in the lineup. Goldschmidt has remained a consistent starter in the lineup of late due to the Yankees’ myriad injuries, but he’s slashing .190/.248/.324 with four home runs, seven RBI, and a 32.7 percent strikeout rate over his last 30 games. The Yankees have also had the worst batting average in baseball since Aaron Judge got hurt. This is a lineup that needs help at the trade deadline.

The Cubs can’t seem to catch a break with bullpen injuries. Hollowell had posted a 2.51 ERA and one save in 14 1/3 innings for the Cubs. Chicago will surely be looking to add more healthy arms to their bullpen at the trade deadline.
