    • Out of Thursday's lineup
      Valdez is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

      Advice: It's a day off for Valdez, who started at second base in each of the Red Sox' previous nine contests. David Hamilton will handle the keystone on Thursday. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
    • Poaching starts from Henry Davis
      Bart will start at catcher and bat cleanup Thursday against the Brewers.

      Advice: Bart has been included in the lineup in four of the past six games and appears to have surpassed Henry Davis on the depth chart at catcher. The eventual return of Yasmani Grandal (foot) from the 10-day injured list could cost Bart some playing time, but for now, the 27-year-old should garner the lion's share of starts behind the dish while he's swinging a hot bat. Bart heads into Thursday's game with a 1.119 OPS over 23 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

    • Absent from lineup again
      Yoshida is out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Cleveland.

      Advice: Red Sox manager Alex Cora insisted prior to Wednesday's game against the Guardians that Yoshida was still the team's everyday designated hitter. However, he's now out of the lineup for a third straight contest, with all three of them coming versus righties. Rafael Devers is at DH again Thursday as he comes back from a knee issue, and Yoshida presumably will be back in the lineup once Devers is ready to return to third base. Clearly, the club has little faith in Yoshida's glove, as he's played just one inning in left field this season. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
    • Getting day off Thursday
      Buxton is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: It's a day off for Buxton, who has shown signs of life at the plate in slashing .323/.344/.613 with one homer, four doubles and a triple over his last eight contests. Austin Martin will occupy center field Thursday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
    • Draws start Thursday
      Anderson is slated to start Thursday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: With Brayan Bello (lat) joining Nick Pivetta (elbow), Garrett Whitlock (oblique) and Lucas Giolito (elbow) on the injured list Wednesday, Anderson will step into the injury-riddled Red Sox rotation for the first time all season. Anderson hasn't covered more than three innings in any of his six relief outings with Boston this season, but he has plenty of starting experience under his belt, having previously made 200 starts over his MLB career across stops with Arizona, Milwaukee, Toronto, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Colorado and Tampa Bay. However, since he'll be pitching on three days' rest after tossing two innings out of the bullpen Sunday, Anderson may be operating under a workload restriction in his first start with Boston.

    • Goes yard again Wednesday
      Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: The 34-year-old first baseman appears to be heating up. Rizzo has gone yard in back-to-back games after managing only one homer in his first 23 contests this season. His .242/.314/.358 slash line and 11 RBI remain below expectations, but after a tough, concussion-marred 2023 campaign, Rizzo's beginning to look more like the player who slugged 32 homers in 2022.

    • Ends homer drought
      Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Tigers.

      Advice: Arozarena went deep in his first plate appearance of the game, snapping a 19-start homeless drought. He struck out in his remaining three at-bats and has now punched out three times in three of his last five contests. Arozarena has gotten off to a poor start to the season, highlighted by a .158 average and a 29.1 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
    • Sent to Triple-A
      The Twins optioned Henriquez to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

      Advice: Henriquez tossed two scoreless frames in his lone appearance while he was up with the big club. He's clearing out to make room for right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson, who was recalled from St. Paul ahead of his scheduled start Thursday versus the White Sox. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
    • Bat wakes up Wednesday
      Judge went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the A's.

      Advice: Joe Boyle appeared to have struck Judge out in the second inning but was charged with a balk on the third strike instead, and the Yankees slugger made him pay by crushing his next pitch over the fence in right field. Judge had gone just 4-for-31 (.129) over the prior eight games without a long ball, so the reprieve may have been just what he needed to kick things into gear. On the season, he's slashing .191/.319/.383 with four homers and 13 RBI through 25 contests. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
