Red Sox News
The Boston Red Sox head into the weekend with a solid 5-2 record over the last week, showcasing resilience amid a barrage of injuries that has left 12 players on the IL. The highlight of the day is Aroldis Chapman, who etched his name in the history books by breaking the all-time strikeout record for relievers with 1,364 strikeouts, surpassing Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm. Meanwhile, Willson Contreras and Nate Eaton are taking the field despite appealing their recent suspensions stemming from a brawl at Fenway. The team is riding a wave of momentum after sweeping the Yankees, but they must maintain this steady play against the Angels while navigating their depleted roster. With the vibes lukewarm at 37-48, every win counts as they strive to claw back into contention.
