Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox are teetering on the edge of contention, clinging to their postseason hopes with an 83-70 record. Willson Contreras's frustrations after being hit by a pitch highlight the simmering tensions within the clubhouse, a potential distraction as the team battles injuries, including Aroldis Chapman’s recent lat tightness. Meanwhile, Roman Anthony broke out of his slump with a 438-foot bomb in Tampa, showing promise as the Sox gear up for a tough series against the Rays, who boast the best record in the American League. This week’s meager offensive output of just 3.4 runs per game isn’t going to cut it if they want to secure a playoff berth. As they head into this critical matchup, the Red Sox need to find consistency and resolve, or their October dreams may wither away.

The Red Sox turned to Garrett Whitlock, not closer Aroldis Chapman, to close out last night’s 4-3 win over the Rangers. After the game, interim manager Chad Tracy explained to the team’s beat that Chapman has been dealing with lat tightness for a couple days and was unavailable (via Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com).

The Red Sox went 1-2 in Texas, dropping Tuesday and Wednesday before salvaging Thursday’s finale.
