  • BOS Relief Pitcher #19

    Sean Newcomb allowed six runs — two earned — with six strikeouts over four innings on Friday in a loss to the White Sox.
    Newcomb fell victim to some shoddy defense from his Red Sox teammates in this one. Triston Casas made a poor throw on what could’ve been an inning-ending double play in the fourth inning. Instead, the White Sox rallied for four unearned runs as this game got out of hand. Newcomb wasn’t particularly sharp either, though. He only forced five total swings-and-misses and struggled to place his fastball in the strike zone. It’s likely he’s the odd man out of this Red Sox rotation whenever either Brayan Bello or Lucas Giolito are healthy and ready to rejoin the rotation.

    Andrew Vaught hit a three-run homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto is his first Brewers at-bat Monday as part of the team’s 9-1 blowout of the Dodgers.
    Vaughn hit a ball 409 feet to left to make a spectacular first impression for his new team. He also walked and scored a second run before, oddly, being pinch-hit for by Jake Bauers with a righty on the mound in the seventh (oddly because Vaughn got the nod over Bauers against a righty in the first place). The homer was Vaughn’s sixth in 49 major league games this season. He’ll definitely be back in there tomorrow with the Dodgers starting a lefty.
    Why Henriquez and Gelof are waiver wire targets
    Eric Samulski claims that Marlins' Ronny Henriquez and Athletics' Zack Gelof are two potential waiver wire targets, explaining why each could be added to any league type.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #51
    Freddy Peralta earned his 10th win by shutting out the Dodgers for six innings on Monday.
    Peralta struck out seven and walked one in what turned out to be a pretty easy outing after the Brewers erupted for seven runs in the bottom of the first. He’s now won five straight starts, which isn’t easy to do these days, and he’s only two off his career high for victories from 2023. The NL All-Star is likely to start again Sunday against the Nationals.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #18
    Yoshinobu Yamamoto lasted just two-thirds of an inning Monday, giving up five runs — three earned — in a loss to the Brewers.
    Yamamoto gave up a double and a walk to start the game, but he rebounded to retire the next two batters on soft contact. After that, though, came a three-run homer, a single, a walk, a Mookie Betts throwing error, and a bloop single. Yamamoto was at 41 pitches at this point, so even though there’s a good chance he would have rebounded, the Dodgers opted to take him out. The brief outing probably assures that he will make another start before the break against the Giants on Sunday, which would mean he’d be ineligible to pitch in the All-Star Game.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #26
    X-rays came back negative on Aaron Ashby’s left hand.
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters Ashby didn’t suffer any fractures after he was hit by a comebacker during Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers. He might need a couple days off, but it sounds like he’s avoided serious injury.
  • BOS Center Fielder #19
    Roman Anthony went 2-for-5 with his second big-league homer as the Red Sox topped the Rockies 9-3 on Monday.
    While Wilyer Abreu and Marcelo Mayer are mostly sitting against lefties, Anthony has been in the lineup all three games as the Red Sox have faced three in a row. He’s 7-for-18 with four RBI in his last four games, and he’s hit .363 in his last 10 games to improve to .250/.353/.398 through 102 plate appearances.
  • BOS Relief Pitcher #80
    Richard Fitts earned his first major league victory by allowing three runs — two earned — over 5 2/3 innings Monday against the Rockies.
    A home start against the Rockies is as easy as it gets, but Fitts will definitely take the win after going 0-4 in spite of a 3.33 ERA in his first 11 career starts. The Red Sox had been 0-10 in those games until finally winning a Fitts start in the suspended game against the Reds last week, when rain brought things to a half with Boston up 2-1 after three. Fitts allowed five hits, walked one and struck out six tonight. He should stay in the rotation for now and face the Rays on Sunday, but things are about to get complicated with Hunter Dobbins and Tanner Houck close to returning.
  • COL Starting Pitcher #26
    Austin Gomber surrendered five runs — four earned — in 4 2/3 innings Monday against the Red Sox.
    Gomber’s velocity has been down in five starts since returning from shoulder inflammation, but it was a little better tonight; he averaged 89.5 mph with his fastball, down from 90.5 mph last year. That helped him pick up five strikeouts and 11 missed swings. That might not sound like much, but he came into the night with a total of six strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings. He’ll take a 5.92 ERA into his next start against the Reds.
  • BOS 2nd Baseman #23
    Romy Gonzalez hit a 454-foot homer and tripled Monday against the Rockies.
    Gonzalez crushed a Ryan Rolison pitch 111.1 mph over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park, and his other two balls in play were 106.9 mph and 103.6 mph. He has a ridiculous 59.6% hard-hit rate this season; the only hitter with 50 plate appearances doing better is Shohei Ohtani at 60.2%. Also, his strikeout rate is also down to 23.6% from 26.9% in his first season with the Red Sox and 36.0% during his White Sox career. He certainly wouldn’t maintain his current .923 OPS while playing regularly against righties, but he deserves a shot to show what he can do outside of a platoon role.
  • COL Right Fielder #35
    Yanquiel Fernández went 0-for-2 with a strikeout and then came out of the game for a pinch-hitter Monday against the Red Sox.
    Fernández has been on the bench for both games against lefties since he arrived in the majors, and his five starts have seen him twice be hit for by Kyle Farmer with a lefty on the mound. That would all make sense if he were playing for a contender and major league ready aside from being able to hit lefties, but Fernández is 22, clearly not a finished product and playing for one of the worst teams of all-time. He needs to be allowed to try to improve against lefties, whether it’s in Triple-A or in the majors.
  • MIA Catcher #50
    Agustín Ramírez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI on Monday, powering the Marlins to a – victory over the Reds.
    Ramírez opened the scoring with a run-scoring double to right field in the fifth inning against Reds starter Brady Singer before taking tough lefty reliever Brent Suter deep for his 14th round-tripper of the season a couple frames later. The titanic blast traveled a whopping 420 feet into the left-field seats. The -year-old rookie backstop has gone deep twice in his last five games, but is just 2-for-22 overall at the dish since July 1.
