Rotoworld Player News

Johan Oviedo

BOS Starting Pitcher #29

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Johan Oviedo blanked the Rays for 3 1/3 innings and struck out four in the Red Sox’s 2-0 rain-shortened victory Saturday.

The game was called in the bottom of the sixth. Oviedo, who was facing a Rays lineup without any projected starters, went without a walk today, even though he threw first-pitch strikes to just four of the 12 batters he faced. He also had a just a 21% CSW. It’s a really nice outing in the box score, but a major league lineup probably would have fared better against him.
Romy Gonzalez

BOS 1st Baseman #23

Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) will visit a specialist Wednesday to determine whether he’ll require surgery.

Gonzalez has been held out of baseball activities this spring and won’t be ready for Opening Day. He received a PRP injection last month and hasn’t been progressing to the point where he can resume hitting again. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point later this week. He would be facing a lengthy absence if he winds up requiring a shoulder procedure.
Masataka Yoshida

BOS Left Fielder #7

Masataka Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and three RBI on Saturday in Japan’s win over Korea in the World Baseball Classic.

It’s nice to see to some over-the-fence pop from Yoshida, who pulled a no-doubter to right field in the third inning following round-trippers by Shohei Ohtani and Seiya Suzuki earlier in the frame. He also plated a pair of key insurance runs with a based-loaded, two-run single to close out a three-run seventh inning. The 32-year-old missed most of last season recovering from a shoulder injury and will likely be limited to a platoon role off the bench due to Boston’s overcrowded outfield mix.
Willson Contreras

BOS 1st Baseman #40

Willson Contreras had two hits and two RBI as Venezuela beat The Netherlands 6-2 in its WBC opener.

Red Sox rather ruled the day in this one; Ranger Suárez started and got the win for Venezuela, allowing one run in two innings, and Wilyer Abreu went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Marlins utilityman Javier Sanoja hit the lone homer. Venezuela has Israel and Nicaragua next on the schedule before the showdown with the Dominican Republic to end pool play. The Netherlands are probably going to need to upset the D.R. if they’re going to have a chance of advancing.
Kristian Campbell

BOS 2nd Baseman #28

Kristian Campbell went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run against the Tigers on Friday.

Campbell took a first-inning sweeper from Justin Verlander and hit it 394 feet at 101.9 mph off the bat for a home run. It’s been a slow spring for the 23-year-old, but he drastically overhauled his swing mechanics and stance in the offseason, and those things take time to click. He will most likely begin the season at Triple-A and continue to refine his new mechanics, but he still remains a high upside prospect and a potential buy in dynasty formats.
Connelly Early

BOS Starting Pitcher #71

Connelly Early allowed two hits in 3 2/3 shutout innings against the Tigers on Friday, striking out four and walking one.

Early also posted a 29 percent whiff rate and 31 percent CSW while showing off his advanced six-pitch mix. The 24-year-old started last year in Double-A and made just six starts in Triple-A, so the Red Sox are hesitant to push him for a full MLB season if they don’t need to. The organization would also gain an extra year of control over Early if he remains in the minor leagues for the early portion of the season, so, with Johan Oviedo and Patrick Sandoval also capable of being the fifth starting pitcher, it seems highly likely that Early will begin the year in Triple-A.
Masataka Yoshida

BOS Left Fielder #7

Masataka Ypshida went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, and an RBI for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic on Friday against Chinese Taipei.

Yoshida also played left field for the vast majority of the game. He’s a bit of a forgotten man in Boston because of their plethora of outfielders, but Yoshida is undoubtedly an above-average major league hitter. After being delayed due to a shoulder injury last year, he hit .266/.307/.388 in 205 plate appearances with four home runs and 26 RBI. Yoshida makes an elite level of contact, but he simply doesn’t have the power to be a great fit as a DH. If his defense could be just average in left field, he would be a solid starting option for many teams.
Braiden Ward

BOS Center Fielder

Braiden Ward had two bunt singles, a hit by pitch and two steals against the Phillies on Thursday.

Ward already has 10 steals to go along with a .450/.522/.500 line in 23 plate appearances. The 27-year-old, who the Red Sox picked up from the Rockies for Brennan Bernardino in November, hit .290/.395/.391 with two homers and 57 steals between Double- and Triple-A last season. He’s not going to make the Red Sox out of spring training, but he could be quite the weapon off the bench late in the year and, should the Red Sox make it, in the postseason.
Brayan Bello

BOS Starting Pitcher #66

Brayan Bello allowed an unearned run and one hit over three innings in the Dominican Republic’s exhibition against the Tigers on Wednesday.

It’s an improvement over his two starts before leaving Red Sox camp. Still, not much is going with Bello’s new slider and revamped changeup. He threw the slider seven times today, resulting in three balls, two fouls, a 99-mph grounder and a HBP. The changeup was used just twice. Bello’s next start will come in the Dominican Republic’s third game against Israel.
Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #3

Ceddanne Rafaela went 3-for-4 with a homer Wednesday as The Netherlands beat the Rays 11-8.

The Netherlands won both of their exhibitions against MLB teams, with Rafaela acting as a driving force; he has two homers and two doubles the last two days. The team’s other standout today was Didi Gregorius, who went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI.
