Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Limited to DH at Triple-A
Anthony has been limited to designated hitter duty at Triple-A Worcester of late due to minor right shoulder soreness, Chris Henrique of Beyond the Monster reports.
Anthony has been used exclusively at DH since April 11 and is set to be the DH again during Worcester's day/night doubleheader Thursday. The shoulder issue has not affected Anthony at the plate, as he's gone 7-for-12 with a 1:3 K:BB in three games at DH. It's not clear when Anthony -- who is slashing .283/.441/.500 with two homers overall this season -- might be ready to play the outfield again.

Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Stellar work in win
Weissert (1-0) struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay.
Boston's bullpen dominated the Rays with Weissert kicking off the effort. He entered the bottom of the fifth inning with two on and two out and struck out Yandy Diaz after falling behind 2-0. The righty then set down all three hitters in the sixth, including two by strikeout. It was the eighth scoreless appearance out of nine for Weissert, who owns a 2.08 ERA with 11 strikeouts and one walk over 8.2 innings.

Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Two bridge innings in win
Whitlock allowed one hit and struck out four over two scoreless innings to earn a hold in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Rays.
The Red Sox received stellar work from the bullpen, which allowed one hit and struck out nine over 4.1 innings. Whitlock, who made his fifth multi-inning appearance, threw 24 pitches (21 strikes) to navigate the seventh and eighth innings for his second hold. That set up the save for Justin Slaten. Whitlock sports a 2.31 ERA with nine hits and four walks while striking out 15 over 11.2 innings (seven outings).

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Slams door for second save
Slaten earned the save after throwing a clean ninth inning in Wednesday's win over the Rays. He struck out two.
Slaten faced little resistance, retiring the side on just 11 pitches (eight strikes) for his second save of the season. Aroldis Chapman remains the favorite for save opportunities out of the Boston bullpen, although the left-hander can cede the occasional chance based on certain matchups. The right-handed Slaten, who now holds a 5.14 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB through seven innings, was called upon to face three right-handed batters Wednesday.

Red Sox's David Hamilton: Smacks first homer in win
Hamilton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Rays.
Although Hamilton got a hold of a Zack Littell fastball for a long ball in the third inning, the 335-foot solo shot wouldn't have left the yard in any other MLB ballpark, per Statcast. Wednesday still marked the first homer of the year for Hamilton, who's off to a miserable start at the plate while slashing .083/.120/.208 with two RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases over 24 at-bats (10 games).

Red Sox's Lucas Giolito: Lit up in third rehab start
Giolito (hamstring) struck out four and gave up three earned runs on five hits and three walks over two innings during his rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Portland.
Due to poor weather being in the forecast at Triple-A Worcester, Giolito moved down a level for his third rehab start after making his previous two appearances with Boston's top affiliate. The drop in competition didn't make things any easier for Giolito, who struggled to command his arsenal and spotted just 34 of his 60 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has hovered between 51 and 64 pitches in each of his three rehab starts and has yet to pitch on less than five days' rest, so he could stay in the minors for another outing or two to push up his pitch count and shake off some more rust. Giolito was placed on the injured list after suffering a low-grade left hamstring strain in mid-March, but he also missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from an internal brace procedure on his right elbow.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Reaches fifth inning in rehab start
Bello (shoulder) struck out seven and allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk across 4.1 innings Wednesday in his rehab start with Double-A Portland on Wednesday. He also hit a batter and was charged with a pitch-clock violation.
Bello got off to a rocky start in his fourth minor-league rehab appearance in allowing a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, but he settled down a bit over the following three-plus innings and concluded his night with three straight strikeouts. He spotted 51 of his 71 pitches for strikes and flashed a fastball that hovered in the 94 to 96 mile-per-hour range, roughly in line with his average velocity from the 2024 season (95.7 mph). According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said earlier in the week that Wednesday's outing would likely be Bello's last on the farm, so the right-hander appears on track to return from the 15-day injured list early next week. With the Red Sox having confirmed their starters through Monday, Bello tentatively lines up to make his 2025 debut Tuesday at home versus the Mariners.

Red Sox's Sean Newcomb: Scoreless start against Rays
Newcomb didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays after allowing four hits and two walks in 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Despite falling one out shy of nabbing the potential win, Newcomb scattered four singles and didn't allow a single runner to reach third base during his time on the bump. Through 17.1 innings (four starts) this season, the journeyman southpaw holds a solid 3.63 ERA and 19:9 K:BB but a concerning 1.90 WHIP. Newcomb will be looking to work into the fifth inning for the first time this year in his next time out, currently slated for next week at home against the Mariners.

Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins: May start Friday
Manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that there's a "chance" Dobbins is recalled from Triple-A Worcester to start Friday against the White Sox, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The right-hander made his MLB debut in early April with five innings of two-run ball in a doubleheader against the Cardinals, and his second career start could come this week. Dobbins has given up eight earned runs (including four homers) in his two outings with Worcester this season, but he could still be on the streaming radar Friday with the White Sox ranking 29th in the league with 53 runs scored.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Summoned to big leagues
The Red Sox recalled Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
Sogard will likely be in line for a brief stay with the big club, as he was called up from Triple-A to replace Alex Bregman (personal), who was placed on the paternity list Wednesday but could be available as soon as Friday. While he's up with Boston, Sogard will provide the bench with some extra versatility; he's made starts at all four infield spots in addition to right field at Triple-A this season.

Red Sox's Kristian Campbell: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Campbell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Tampa Bay, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
It's a routine day off for Campbell, who had started each of the previous eight contests. David Hamilton will start at second base and bat eighth for the Red Sox in Wednesday's series finale.

Red Sox's Alex Bregman: Goes on paternity leave
The Red Sox placed Bregman (personal) on the paternity list Wednesday.
As a result of the transaction, Bregman will have to miss at least one game and a maximum of three while he welcomes a new addition to his family. The Red Sox recalled Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to provide some extra coverage in the infield while Bregman is away from the team.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Slated for promotion
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Sogard will be called up from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Alex Bregman will head to the paternity list in a corresponding move, which means he will be unavailable for as many as three games. Sogard will give Cora another infield option while Bregman is away, but it could be Romy Gonzalez who serves as the primary replacement at third base over the next few days.

Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Throws bullpen
Crawford (knee) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Crawford opened the season on the injured list with right patellar tendinopathy. Red Sox manager Alex Cora remains unsure of what the next step is in Crawford's progression, but the manager noted Crawford is not "close to being back with us."

Red Sox's Connor Wong: Begins baseball activity

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Not close to rehab assignment
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Yoshida (shoulder) is not close to a rebab assignment, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida continues to rehab in Fort Myers and is working on a throwing program. He's not going to be ready for duty in the majors until he's able to make throws from the outfield.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Returns to lineup Tuesday
Rafaela went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's 7-4 win over Tampa Bay.
The struggling Rafaela returned to the lineup after sitting out the first game of the series. He entered Tuesday batting .220/.291/.260 with a 46 percent chase rate over 55 plate appearances. Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com on Tuesday that Rafaela has been "swinging a lot" and wants to see the outfielder be more selective. The manager added that even when there are pitches to hit, Rafaela is rushing his swing.
