  • Rough start to season
    Gonzalez has an 11.12 ERA and 2.88 WHIP over three appearances (two starts) at Double-A Portland.

    Advice: Control has long been a challenge for Gonzalez, who is showing it to be more so at the start of the 2024 season. He walked eight batters over his first two starts -- he lasted just two-thirds of an inning in his second start -- and has nine overall in 5.2 innings. The right-hander had an encouraging third outing Sunday, when he walked only one over three scoreless innings as a piggyback starter. Rotowire.com Today, 4:27 am

  • MRI confirms significant injury
    Casas (rib) underwent an MRI on Monday that confirmed the expectation that he'll be out for a significant length of time, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The Red Sox haven't placed a timetable on Casas' return, but it seems likely he'll blow past the 10-day minimum on the injured list. For now, the team plans to get by with a combination of Bobby Dalbec, Pablo Reyes and possibly Rob Refsnyder, who has been working at the position since the start of spring training. Another option is for Boston to wait and see what happens after May 1, when several players could exercise opt-out clauses. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 am
     
  • Allows walk-off homer
    Nelson allowed one run on one hit without retiring a batter in Monday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.

    Advice: Nelson's outing lasted one pitch, a hanging slider that Nolan Gorman sent over the right-center field fence for a walk-off, two-run home run. This was the third consecutive game with at least one run allowed by Nelson, who had opened the season with 9.1 scoreless innings. Rotowire.com Today, 3:24 am
     
  • Takes loss Monday
    Thompson (0-1) was tagged with Monday's loss to the Cardinals, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one over one-plus innings.

    Advice: Thompson executed a perfect 1-2-3 eighth inning before giving up a leadoff infield single to open the bottom of the ninth. He was replaced by Kyle Nelson for a lefty-on-lefty matchup, but the at-bat lasted one pitch. Nolan Gorman tattooed a hanging slider for a walk-off, two-run home run. Thompson has pitched well thus far, posting a 1.86 ERA with four holds through 10 outings (eight scoreless). He'll continue to serve in a setup role for Kevin Ginkel then Paul Sewald (oblique) when he's ready to return. Rotowire.com Today, 3:20 am
