Cam Schlittler says heckling ‘not too bad’ as he pitches at Fenway Park for first time against Red Sox

Pitching at Fenway Park for the New York Yankees, Cam Schlittler didn’t face the type of abuse he was subjected to online.

Rotoworld Player News

Willson Contreras

BOS 1st Baseman #40

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Willson Contreras went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and five RBI on Saturday, powering the Red Sox to a 17-1 blowout win over the Orioles.

Contreras collected a pair of RBI earlier in the contest before taking position player Weston Wilson deep for a garbage-time homer in the ninth inning. It counts all the same for fantasy managers, who certainly don’t mind a little stat-padding during the late stages of a one-sided affair. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season and second time he’s gone deep in the past week.
Andruw Monasterio

BOS Shortstop #32

Andruw Monasterio went 3-for-6 with a grand slam on Saturday in a blowout win over the Orioles.

Monasterio ripped a pair of doubles in the early stages of the one-sided affair before launching a grand slam off lefty reliever Keegan Akin in the ninth inning to put the metaphorical cherry on top of a much-needed three-hit performance. It was his first round-tripper of the season. He’ll continue to see at-bats against left-handed pitching, but he’s mostly limited to reserve duty right now.
Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet recorded seven strikeouts over six shutout innings on Saturday in a win over the Orioles.

It was a much-needed rebound performance for Crochet after getting torched for 16 runs over 6 2/3 innings combined over his previous two starts. The 26-year-old fantasy ace looked like his usual self in this one, leaning heavily on his four-seam fastball, and limiting Baltimore’s red-hot lineup to just five baserunners. He generated an encouraging 12 swinging strikes, and gave up only seven hard-hit balls, needing just 90 pitches to navigate six frames. The scoreless effort lowered his full-season ERA from 7.88 to a more respectable 6.30 through six starts. He’ll square off against the Astros at Fenway Park in his next outing on Friday.
Sonny Gray

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Sonny Gray (hamstring) is on track to return from the injured list when eligible.

Cora added that Brayan Bello will make his next start on Wednesday against the Blue Jays after being lit up for eight runs over 3 1/3 innings on Friday against the Orioles. Gray appears on track to return in early May against the Tigers. The interesting question is whether top pitching prospect Payton Tolle will be shipped back to the minors when that happens. It’s a variable to consider for fantasy managers rostering the fire-balling southpaw following an impressive debut against the Yankees earlier this week.
Marcelo Mayer

BOS 3rd Baseman #11

Marcelo Mayer is on the bench for Saturday afternoon’s contest against the Orioles.

Mayer made a prominent base-running mistake during the ninth inning of Friday’s lopsided defeat, but he’s been one of the few bright spots for the Red Sox recently, hitting .300 (6-for-20) with a pair of RBI over his last seven games. The 23-year-old former top prospect is hitting just .222/.296/.365 with one homer and one steal through 22 games overall. It’ll be veteran Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the keystone on Saturday afternoon to face Orioles lefty Trevor Rogers.
Roman Anthony

BOS Right Fielder #19

Roman Anthony (back) remains out of the lineup for the fourth consecutive game on Saturday against the Orioles.

Not great. Anthony hasn’t played since Tuesday due to a lingering back issue. It’s worth noting that the Orioles have tough lefty Trevor Rogers on the mound for Saturday afternoon’s matinee, so he might’ve been on the bench regardless of his health status. It’ll be struggling Jarren Duran in left field in his place. The 21-year-old showed flashes of superstar potential when he reached the majors last year, but he’s gotten off to a brutal start this season, hitting .225/.361/.325 with one homer, four RBI and two steals through 22 games. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale.
Franklin Arias

BOS Shortstop #95

Franklin Arias went 0-for-4 on Friday for Double-A Portland, lowering his batting average to .408 through 14 games.

Arias went hitless following a surreal hot streak where he homered in three consecutive games and six times in a seven-game span since April 14. The 20-year-old prodigy finished with just eight round-trippers in 116 games last season. His combination of elite plate skills and emerging over-the-fence power at a premium defensive position will position him as an elite fantasy prospect by midseason, if he’s not there already.
Wilyer Abreu

BOS Right Fielder #52

Wilyer Abreu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and another run scored in Boston’s Friday loss to the Orioles.

His 403-foot shot to right-center barely cleared the deepest part of Camden Yards while also being a homer in 29 of 30 parks. Abreu’s hot start carried him closer to the middle of the order -- but he’s still hitting just .218/.306/.291 in his last 15 games even after this outburst. Boston’s problem is that, well, nobody else is really hitting well enough to push Abreu back down the lineup anyway. With an .845 OPS, it’s hard to be upset with the performance for his draft price, but Abreu’s .269/.321/.346 line against lefties continues to loudly speak to the idea that he should be a platoon player.
Brayan Bello

BOS Starting Pitcher #66

Brayan Bello allowed five home runs and eight runs to the Orioles in 3 1/3 innings on Friday.

The Orioles ran out of fireworks for their home runs. We’re not even kidding about that, that actually happened. None of these homers were cheapies either -- 410 feet, 395 feet, 411 feet, 395 feet, and 393 feet, and of the five, all of them would have been homers in at least 27 of 30 stadiums. The Orioles simply crushed Bello’s fastballs, be they sinker, cutter, or 4-seam, for all 11 of his hard-hit balls allowed. This is Bello’s first true disaster start of the season, but he’d be a tough stream at this point with his 9.00 ERA. A date with the Blue Jays awaits next week.
Roman Anthony

BOS Right Fielder #19

Roman Anthony (back) is not in Boston’s starting lineup Friday against the Orioles.

It’ll again be Masataka Yoshida batting third and DHing as Anthony continues to deal with a sore back. This is Anthony’s third straight day sitting with the injury. Red Sox beat reporters generally seem optimistic he’ll be back soon.
