Imanaga’s early brilliance with Cubs is no fluke

Fantasy managers who gambled on Shota Imanaga in drafts should hold onto the impressive 30-year-old, who has dazzled through seven starts with a 1.08 ERA.

Story injury gives Hamilton a brief fantasy role

Rotoworld Player News

Tanner Houck

BOS Starting Pitcher #89

Tanner Houck dropped to 3-4 after surrendering three runs in seven innings Friday against the Nationals.

It’s absurd that Houck should have a sub-.500 record with a 2.24 ERA, but the Red Sox have totaled four runs in his four losses. This was not Houck at his best tonight; he gave up 11 hard-hit balls and settled for four strikeouts. He’ll face the Rays next.
Masataka Yoshida

BOS Left Fielder #7

Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced Friday that Masataka Yoshida will not require surgery on his injured left thumb.

He’s still going to be shut down for a couple of weeks before he starts swinging a bat again, but overall this is encouraging news for the Red Sox and for fantasy managers. Yoshida has been shelved since the beginning of May. He has hit .275/.348/.388 with a pair of homers, 11 RBI and an 11/6 K/BB ratio over 89 plate appearances in 24 games on the season.
Rob Refsnyder

BOS Left Fielder #30

Rob Refsnyder (hamstring) returned to the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday’s matchup against the Nationals.

Refsnyder has been sidelined since May 5 due to a hamstring injury, but the way that the team’s schedule fell that only caused him to miss two games. He’ll serve as the Red Sox’ designated hitter and will bat second against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Friday evening at Fenway Park.
Wilyer Abreu

BOS Right Fielder #52

Wilyer Abreu is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Nationals.

While Abreu did draw a start against a left-hander on Thursday, he’s not in the lineup for a matchup against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Friday evening. Rob Refsnyder will start as the team’s designated hitter on Friday night and will bat second for the Red Sox.
Connor Wong

BOS Catcher #12

Connor Wong went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday’s loss to the Braves.

Wong continues to hit. He’s up to .354 on the season with a .964 OPS. While Wong is a career .249 hitter, he’s cut his career strikeout rate from 31 percent to 21 percent this year. If he keeps that up, there’s certainly reason to believe he can be an asset in batting average for the rest of the season.
Nick Pivetta

BOS Starting Pitcher #37

Nick Pivetta allowed five earned runs in four innings in his first start back from an elbow injury and took the loss against the Braves on Wednesday.

Pivetta wasn’t particularly sharp in his return to the mound as he allowed seven hits, including three home runs, and only recorded one strikeout. He gets a bit of a pass given the circumstances and tough matchup against the Braves on the road. Pivetta only threw 58 pitches, which is a potential concern for his next start. He’s set to face the Tampa Bay Rays in Boston next week.
Romy Gonzalez

BOS Second Baseman #23

Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

The versatile 27-year-old has been shelved since April 11 due to a left wrist sprain. Before he was sidelined, Gonzalez had been just 1-for-4 (.250) with a walk and a strikeout in two games played with the Red Sox. He’ll add depth and versatility to the team’s bench and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes.
Nick Pivetta

BOS Starting Pitcher #37

Red Sox activated RHP Nick Pivetta from the 15-day injured list.

As anticipated, the 31-year-old hurler will rejoin the Red Sox’ rotation on Wednesday night against the Braves. Prior to landing on the injured list, Pivetta had posted a 1-1 record, 0.82 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and a 13/1 K/BB ratio over 11 innings through his first two starts. Given the fact that he threw just 62 pitches in his last rehab start — and the tough matchup against the Braves — fantasy managers may want to wait and see on this one before re-inserting him into lineups.
Zack Short

BOS Shortstop #18

Red Sox designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

Short was just acquired from the Mets a week ago for cash considerations, but he’ll be placed on waivers for the third time this year as the Red Sox needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster. Once again, there may be interest around the league in the glove-first infielder.
Naoyuki Uwasawa

BOS Relief Pitcher

Red Sox optioned RHP Naoyuki Uwasawa to Triple-A Worcester.

The Red Sox were facing a roster crunch with Nick Pivetta returning to start on Wednesday and unfortunately the 30-year-old right-hander was the odd-man out this time around. Uwasawa did a nice job in his limited action with the Red Sox, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 3/2 K/BB ratio across his four frames. It shouldn’t take him long to earn another opportunity in the Red Sox’ bullpen.
