Marcelo Mayer

BOS 2nd Baseman #11

Marcelo Mayer went 0-for-3 with a walk on Friday against the Rangers in his return to the lineup.

Mayer returned to Boston’s lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s series finale against Tampa Bay with neck and back spasms. The 23-year-old was just starting to show some real signs of life with a couple extra-base hits, including a home run, earlier this week. He’ll continue to bat near the bottom of the Red Sox’ lineup until further notice.
Willson Contreras

BOS 1st Baseman #40

Willson Contreras went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, and two RBI in Friday’s win over the Rangers.

Contreras blasted his 14th homer of the season in the first inning off of Rangers starter Jack Leiter to put the Red Sox up 2-0. Contreras would single in the fifth inning in what turned into a four-run inning for the Red Sox, and later doubled home Wilyer Abreu in the eighth inning in his final at-bat. Contreras continues to swing a hot bat for the Red Sox in June and is slashing .333/.421/.727 on the month with three homers and eight RBI.
Sonny Gray

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Sonny Gray allowed one earned run over six innings while striking out seven to pick up the win on Friday against the Rangers.

The Rangers put up three hits on Gray in the first inning, with the first run coming around to score on an RBI single by Wyatt Langford. It would be the only run Gray would allow on the night, as the veteran righty locked in to fire five-straight scoreless frames while allowing just two hits and no free passes. Gray has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts and has made it through six innings in five of those outings. He remains as reliable an option as any and is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday at home against the Blue Jays.
Marcelo Mayer

BOS 2nd Baseman #11

Marcelo Mayer (neck, back) returned to the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Rangers.

Mayer was held out of action on Wednesday due to neck and back spasms, but he appears to be doing much better after Thursday’s off-day. He’ll start at shortstop and bat eighth against Rangers’ right-hander Jack Leiter on Friday evening at Fenway Park.
Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet (shoulder/lat) told reporters that he’s getting close to throwing but that he doesn’t expect to be back before the All-Star break.

Crochet added that his lat is better now and he has been focusing on re-strengthening his shoulder, and that he doesn’t know when he might actually start throwing. This update doesn’t do much for the timeline beyond clarifying that it likely won’t be before the All-Star break. The fantasy baseball ace has been out since late April with the initial shoulder injury, but at least it seems like the lat is done interfering with his rehab.
Mickey Gasper

BOS Catcher #30

Mickey Gasper is hitting leadoff for the Red Sox in Friday’s game against the Rangers.

It’s Gasper’s first leadoff appearance all year, though he did hit in the two-hole at times in May. Gasper is batting .154/.241/.231 in 29 June plate appearances, so it’s not like he’s red hot either. Jarren Duran has been dropped to fifth in the lineup as a result of this shakeup.
Patrick Sandoval

BOS Starting Pitcher #43

Patrick Sandoval (biceps/elbow) allowed one run on one hit in 1 2/3 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

Sandoval struck out three and walked one, but the one hit he did allow was a solo home run to Nationals INF prospect Yohandy Morales. Sandoval is working his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery and also biceps tightness from the middle of May. He threw 18 of his 33 pitches for strikes and is still in the early stages of his return.
Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet (lat) told the Boston Globe that his lat strain is “a lot worse than we thought” and has “no idea” when he’ll be cleared to start a throwing progression.

Not good. Crochet remains without a return timetable and no immediate plans to resume throwing after suffering a lat strain back in late May. The 26-year-old fantasy ace was diagnosed with a low-grade lat strain initially, but clearly the situation was much worse than preliminary imaging revealed. He’s clearly worth stashing in deeper mixed leagues, but fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate Crochet returning anytime soon. It’s another glaring indication that the Red Sox are likely to wind up as sellers as the trade deadline in early August.
Jake Bennett

BOS Starting Pitcher #64

Jake Bennett yielded four runs in five innings Wednesday in a loss to the Rays.

Bennett pitched well, but things fell apart after a leadoff double in the fifth. A bunt single, an infield single and then an infield double followed; the last hit bounced off Bennett’s leg and into no man’s land on the left side of the infield. The Rays scored three of their four runs in the frame. Bennett struck out four and his only walk was intentional. He made a case for sticking around in Brayan Bello’s spot, but the Red Sox do have some flexibility here with Thursday and Monday as off days. If they stay in rotation, then Bennett would face the Blue Jays next Wednesday.
Caleb Durbin

BOS 3rd Baseman #5

Caleb Durbin went 3-for-4 and delivered his second and third homers of the year Wednesday against the Rays.

Where did that come from? Both homers were no doubters to left, with the first checking in at 415 feet. That’s 29 feet farther than his previous long fly this year. The 107.7 mph it left the bat at was also a season high. It’s Durbin’s first two-homer game as a major leaguer. He’s hit .341 with eight extra-base hits in his last 12 games, so playing time is no longer a question for him at the moment. He still might offer some fantasy value in deeper leagues.
