Red Sox News
The Red Sox are buzzing after their dominant 7-0 win over the Blue Jays, but the enthusiasm is tempered by a week-long 2-5 slide that has kept them firmly in third place in the division with a 65-56 record. As fans rally around Caleb Durbin, who is playing through a nasty finger injury, there's excitement about his potential as a fan favorite. Meanwhile, Trevor Story is inching closer to a return as he ramps up his rehab, which could be a game changer for the lineup. On a less rosy note, Boston's loss of catcher Jake Rogers to the White Sox raises questions about their depth behind the plate. As they prepare to face the Pirates, who are also dealing with injuries, the Red Sox desperately need to capitalize on their recent offensive momentum and solidify their playoff aspirations.
