Caleb Bonemer exits Double-A game after beaning

This would appear to just be a routine rest day for the 36-year-old with a day game after a night game. Sean Keys will be the designated hitter and bat fifth on Thursday.

This is great news for a Red Sox bullpen that currently has all of Garrett Whitlock, Justin Slaten, Zack Kelly, and Tyron Guerrero. Houck has plenty of experience in high-leverage innings and can help provide some relief to a tired relief corps. It may take him four or five appearances before the Red Sox feel comfortable bringing him up, considering he hasn’t appeared in a game since May 12th of last season.

Sisk allowed three runs on no hits but three walks on Tuesday and then did not pitch on Wednesday. He had a 3.16 ERA in 42 2/3 innings for the Pirates so far this season.

Dotel has flashed upside in his rookie season, but a lat strain over the summer led to some poor results, and he has a 4.71 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 31/13 K/BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings with the Pirates this season.

In six games since being promoted, Isaac has gone 8-for-21 (.381) with two home runs, three RBI, and a 6/5 K/BB ratio. The 22-year-old is unlikely to break camp with the Rays, who are notoriously slow to promote prospects, but he could be an option in the summer of 2027.

Clark was everywhere in this game. His first two doubles helped to set up rallies in the early innings and his third was huge in the moment, giving his Tigers the lead in the 11th before their bullpen made them win it in the 12th. Nevertheless, this one game brought his batting average up from .238 to .257 and his OPS from .697 to .766 as he continues to find his footing in the big leagues.

Jansen came in to try and clean up Drew Sommers in the eighth inning and immediately let a three-run lead disappear after a bases loaded walk and two-run single. No runs were charged to him because he entered the game with the bases already loaded, but this was a poor showing from the legend.

Anderson continues to be an effective albeit unspectacular starting pitcher. Leading with his changeup, he mostly cruised here and would’ve finished six innings for the first time in his big league career if not for an error by Kevin McGonigle that invited trouble in the sixth. Regardless, that changeup forced eight of his 12 total swings-and-misses as a true weapon against hitters from each side of the plate and finished this start with an incredible 67% chase rate. He’s scheduled to face the Twins again next time out.

The biggest of Lee’s three hits came to begin the eighth inning when he sparked a three-run rally that eventually tied this game. The Twins still lost in 12 innings, but Lee put himself in the middle of a few rallies as a table-setter out of the second spot on their order. He’s been a tremendous compiler this season in an everyday role with 22 home runs, seven stolen bases, and a .250 batting average.

Not much came easy to Kremer in this start. The Tigers had constant traffic on the bases and he struggled to put hitters away despite missing plenty of bats – 12 total whiffs and multiple with four different pitches. He’s also continued to push up his fastball usage since joining the Twins at the cost of his sinker. It’s had mixed results so far and he’s scheduled to face these same Tigers again next time out.
