Red Sox News

Willson Contreras' fiery antics led to his ejection for the second straight game, igniting a brawl in last night's victory over the Nationals and putting a dent in the team's momentum. Despite this chaos, the Red Sox are riding high with a 6-1 record over the last week, fueled by a positive run differential that gives them an edge in the Wild Card hunt. However, the pitching staff took a hit as Connelly Early exited after just four innings with left elbow discomfort, snapping the team's quality start streak. Adding to the intrigue, Boston is shaking up its roster by designating Tommy Kahnle for assignment and acquiring infielder Brett Harris from the Athletics, hinting at more changes ahead. The Red Sox, now at 37-46, are desperate to stay relevant as they aim to build on their recent success.
