Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Reaches base four times
Abreu went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two walks during the Red Sox's 6-3 loss to the Astros on Saturday.
Abreu reached base safely in four of five plate appearances Saturday, and he reduced Boston's deficit to 6-2 in the seventh frame after his single to right field brought Willson Contreras home. Abreu is up to 13 multi-hit games on the season, five of which have come over his last eight games. In that eight-game span, he has gone 11-for-30 (.367) with one steal, six walks, one home run, three RBI and four runs scored.

Red Sox's Connelly Early: Roughed up by Houston
Early (2-2) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three across four innings.
Early started out slowly by yielding on run on three baserunners in the first inning. He kept the Astros off the board over the next two frames but was tagged with four runs in the fourth, highlighted by a three-run long ball by Brice Matthews. It was the first time this season (in seven starts) that Early gave up more than three earned runs, and he now sits at a 3.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 31:17 K:BB across 35.2 innings. He's slated to start next week at home against the Rays.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Logs three hits in win
Anthony went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros.
Multi-hit performances were not meant to be noteworthy for Anthony, but the outfielder is having a rough go of it early in 2026. He entered Friday on a 4-for-31 (.129) slide over the previous nine contests and is batting .230 with one home run and five RBI through 27 games.

Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Throws live BP session
Gray (hamstring) threw a live batting practice session Friday, Tim Crowley of MLB.com reports.
Gray got up and down three times during the session in what was an encouraging development for the Red Sox's rotation. The team is without ace Garrett Crochet (shoulder) and is dealing with the latest shaky outing from Brayan Bello. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy was pleased with the outing and will consult with others to determine the right-hander's next steps. Gray landed on the 15-day injured list following an abbreviated start April 20 and is eligible to return May 6.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Powers offense in win
Duran went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros.
Duran's three-run blast in the third inning proved to be the game-winner. It was a much-needed swing, as the 29-year-old entered the game hitless over his previous four contests and hadn't gone deep since April 13. For the year, he owns a disappointing .173/.232/.279 slash line with two home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and five steals across 112 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Earns win in debut
Bennett (1-0) earned the win against the Astros on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.
Making his first major-league start, Bennett allowed a solo homer in the third inning but mostly impressed with four scoreless frames. He threw 58 strikes and generated 10 whiffs on 85 pitches, including six on his changeup. The 25-year-old posted a 0.86 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 21 innings at Triple-A Worcester and lines up for a road matchup against the Tigers next week.

Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Secures sixth save
Chapman earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Chapman was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a two-out double to slam the door. He's now 6-for-6 in save chances this season while keeping opponents off the board in nine of 10 appearances. The veteran southpaw has been dominant through 9.2 frames, posting a 0.93 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB.

Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: MRI comes back clean
Crochet underwent an MRI on his left shoulder that came back clean Friday, and he'll be shut down from throwing for a few days while he focuses on rebuilding strength, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
The left-hander landed on the injured Wednesday with left shoulder inflammation, and the MRI indicates that is indeed the full extent of the injury. After being placed on the shelf, Crochet indicated Wednesday he should be able to be activated after the 15-day minimum. A quick return like that should remain plausible as long as he's not shut down from throwing for more than a few days.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Poised for rehab stint
Slaten (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Slaten has been sidelined since early April with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. The righty reliever will likely need multiple rehab appearances before rejoining the Boston bullpen.

Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Throwing live BP
Gray (hamstring) is throwing a live batting-practice session Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The right-hander landed on the shelf April 21 with a strained right hamstring, but he was only briefly shut down from throwing and is quickly back to facing live hitters. Gray will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list next week, and he appears on track to rejoin Boston's rotation after spending close to the 15-day minimum on the shelf.

Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Called up for major-league debut
The Red Sox recalled Bennett from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
Bennett is set to make his major-league debut Friday with a start against the Astros. The left-hander is filling the rotation spot vacated by Garrett Crochet (shoulder) and could earn additional turns with Sonny Gray (hamstring) also sidelined. Acquired from the Nationals over the offseason, Bennett has yielded just three runs (two earned) with a 16:3 K:BB over his first 21 innings with Worcester this season.

Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Sent back to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Eaton spent 24 hours with the Red Sox but didn't appear in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. Eaton is slashing .292/.373/.458 with three homers, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, six stolen bases and a 12:25 BB:K at Triple-A this season.

Red Sox's Willson Contreras: Homers again Wednesday
Contreras went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Contreras' first-inning blast off Eric Lauer, his seventh homer this season, proved to be all the offense the Red Sox could muster Wednesday. Contreras has been one of Boston's few bright spots early this year -- he's gone 7-for-19 (.368) with three homers and a 1.330 OPS in his last five games, boosting his slash line to .262/.375/.486 with 20 RBI and 16 runs scored through his first 128 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Takes third straight loss
Bello (1-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
It was another rough outing for Bello, who's now dropped three straight starts, allowing 16 runs in just 11 innings during that span. Bello's ERA now sits at an ugly 9.12 with a 2.26 WHIP and 17:15 K:BB across six starts (25.2 innings). Given the recent injuries to Garrett Crochet (shoulder) and Sonny Gray (hamstring), Bello seems likely to stick in the rotation for the time being despite the struggles. His next outing is tentatively scheduled to come on the road next week against Detroit.
