Rafael Devers

BOS Third Baseman #11

Rafael Devers hit a solo homer in a loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.

That’s the fourth-consecutive game that Devers has gone deep. The 27-year-old now has eight homers and 19 RBI on the season, and fantasy managers have to be thrilled to see the third baseman driving the baseball over the fence as of late. Obvious point could be obvious.
Kutter Crawford

BOS Starting Pitcher #50

Kutter Crawford only allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Saturday.

Crawford pitched well, but so did his pitching counterpart Miles Mikolas, so there’s no W for the 28-year-old. Crawford bounced back nicely from a shaky start against the Ray on Monday, and in the process he lowers his ERA to a strong 2.17. There was reason to believe Crawford could help fantasy rosters, but no one could have seen this coming.
Tyler Heineman

BOS Catcher #32

Red Sox activated C Tyler Heineman from the 10-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.

Heineman will remain stationed at Triple-A Worcester as emergency catching depth after wrapping up a rehab assignment. The 32-year-old journeyman backstop was sent to the injured list back in late April with a right hamstring strain.
Brayan Bello

BOS Starting Pitcher #66

Brayan Bello surrendered five runs in 4 2/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals.

The ability is there for Bello to be better than this, but he’s just so overrated now. The Cardinals were averaging one homer every 51 plate appearances this season before Bello gave up three to the 21 batters he faced tonight. Boston would have been better off giving his six-year deal to Kutter Crawford this spring.
Connor Wong

BOS Catcher #12

Connor Wong finished 4-for-5 with an RBI against the Cardinals on Friday.

Statcast thinks Wong has been one of the game’s most fortunate hitters this year, but the luck shows no signs of stopping. His exit velocity numbers remain mediocre, but he has shown some legitimate improvement in terms of contact ability. With the Red Sox hitting him third of late, he’s a top-12 catcher for the moment.
Garrett Whitlock

BOS Relief Pitcher #22

Garrett Whitlock will undergo additional testing on Monday after experiencing soreness in his right elbow.

Ugh. The 27-year-old hurler had looked sharp in his latest minor league rehab start at Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, striking out five batters over 4 2/3 innings of shutout baseball. The plan was to have him rejoin the Red Sox’ rotation next week, but that’s obviously on hold for now. The Red Sox should provide an update on his status after Monday’s testing is complete, but it doesn’t sound great.
Ceddanne Rafaela

BOS Center Fielder #43

Ceddanne Rafaela is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

It looks to be just a routine day of rest for the versatile 23-year-old. David Hamilton will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth against veteran right-hander Kyle Gibson on Friday evening.
Rafael Devers

BOS Third Baseman #11

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with walk, two runs scored, and a solo home run against the Rays on Thursday.

Devers hit the ball into the monster seats at Fenway Park against Rays starter Zack Littel for his sixth home run of the season. It’s his second consecutive game with a home run. Devers is hitting .288 with a .902 OPS in 33 games this season.
Cooper Criswell

BOS Starting Pitcher #64

Cooper Criswell allowed five runs (three earned) in 3 2/3 innings in the Red Sox’ loss to the Rays on Thursday.

Criswell was coming off his best start of the year in which he recorded nine strikeouts. He followed that up with his shortest start of the season and only three strikeouts. Criswell doesn’t work deep into games, but his ERA is still just 2.76 on the season. The 27-year-old journeyman right-hander is set to face the Rays on the road in his next start.
Tyler O'Neill

BOS Right Fielder #17

Tyler O’Neill is not in the lineup on Thursday as the Red Sox take on the Rays.

After getting off to a torrid start, O’Neill has struggled of late. Since his collision with Rafael Devers in the outfield on April 15th which landed O’Neill on the concussion IL, the outfielder has hit just .219 with three home runs and a 41.5 percent strikeout rate. He was hitting .313 with seven home runs and a 21 percent strikeout rate prior. While the early season sample size is small, it’s worth noting that concussion symptoms can linger, as we saw with Anthony Rizzo last year. Perhaps it’s just a cold stretch, but maybe O’Neill is still feeling some effects of the head injury. Rob Refsnyder will be in left field and hitting third on Thursday while Garrett Cooper will DH and bat sixth.
