Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Falters again
Slaten allowed two runs on three hits over two-thirds of an inning in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to Tampa Bay.
Slaten's performance didn't result in him taking the loss, but it did take the starch out of a comeback bid. Boston had just closed the gap to 5-4 with four runs in the top of eighth inning before Slaten gave two of those runs back in the bottom of the frame. This was the right-hander's third harsh outing in the last five, during which he's allowed 10 runs on 11 hits and three walks over 4.1 innings (20.77 ERA). Until this stretch, Slaten could have been viewed as a closer candidate if the 27-39 Red Sox eventually trade Aroldis Chapman.

Red Sox's Enddy Azocar: Going off at Greenville
Azocar went 3-for-4 with a stolen base, a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored for High-A Greenville on Wednesday.
Azocar, who started the year at Low-A Salem, has raked since his promotion to Greenville. Over 11 games for the Drive, the 19-year-old is slashing .333/.373/.604 with seven extra-base hits (two homers), nine RBI, two steals and 10 runs over 51 plate appearances. Across two stops in 2026, Azocar has 19 multi-hit efforts and leads the organization's minor-leaguers in hits (65), total bases (117) and runs (41) while ranking second in RBI (35).

Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Strain worse than expected
Crochet said Wednesday that his lat strain "is a lot worse" than the Red Sox originally thought, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Crochet also said that he has "no idea" when he'll be cleared to begin throwing. The 26-year-old southpaw was diagnosed with a low-grade lat strain June 2 that was initially expected to keep him sidelined until at least July, though his latest comments suggest he could be in for even longer of a wait. He's slated to undergo further imaging later in the week, at which point the team will have a better idea of the true severity of his injury and possibly a rough timeline for his return to the rotation.

Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Goes yard twice in loss
Durbin went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Rays.
After Drew Rasmussen had blanked Boston for seven innings, Durbin sparked his team's offense to life with a long ball off Cole Sulser to lead off the eighth, following it up with another solo shot off Garrett Cleavinger in the ninth. Durbin came into the game with just one homer on the year, but over the last 12 games he's batting .341 (15-for-44) with five doubles, a triple and Wednesday's pair of home runs, along with one steal, six runs and nine RBI.

Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Downed by Tampa
Bennett (1-2) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings as the Red Sox fell 7-5 to the Rays. He struck out four.
Facing Tampa Bay for the second time in his first three big-league starts, Bennett lost to Boston's AL East rival once again. The southpaw tossed 52 of 73 pitches for strikes, getting tagged for one run in the third inning and three more in the fifth before leaving the mound. He could stick around in the majors a little longer this time with Brayan Bello bumped down to Triple-A, but Bennett's 5.28 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB in 15.1 MLB innings isn't encouraging. The 25-year-old lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Blue Jays.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Held out with back/neck stiffness
Mayer is absent from Wednesday's lineup versus the Rays due to back and neck stiffness, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy is hopeful that Mayer will be available to pinch hit. However, with a team off day looming Thursday, the club could elect to stay away from Mayer on Wednesday with the goal of having him return to the lineup Friday, when the Red Sox begin a three-game set against the Rangers.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: On bench Wednesday
Mayer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest at Tampa Bay.
The left-handed-hitting Mayer will get a rare day off versus a right-handed starting pitcher, as the Rays are sending Drew Rasmussen to the bump. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will handle shortstop for the Red Sox, leaving Andruw Monasterio to cover second base.

Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Recalled to start Wednesday's game
The Red Sox recalled Bennett from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Bennett will make a start against the Rays on Wednesday at Tropicana Field. The left-hander yielded five earned runs on 11 hits with a 4:4 K:BB in two starts with the Red Sox last month and boasts a 1.49 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB in 42.1 innings over 10 starts for Worcester. Bennett could get an opportunity to stick in the rotation for a while until Garrett Crochet (lat) is ready.

Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Sent back to minors
The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
He's clearing out to make space on the roster for Jake Bennett, who will start Wednesday's contest in Tampa Bay. Gamboa made one appearance during his brief stint with the Red Sox, retiring both batters he faced.

Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Joining rotation Wednesday
The Red Sox will recall Bennett from Triple-A Worcester to start Wednesday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Andrew Mahoney of The Boston Globe reports.
As anticipated, Bennett will be stepping into the rotation spot vacated by Brayan Bello, who was optioned to Triple-A last week. Though he reached five innings in both of his first two big-league starts back in early May against the Astros and Rays, Bennett yielded five earned runs on 11 hits and four walks while striking out four across 10.1 frames. However, the 25-year-old lefty has performed as one of the top pitchers in the International League this season, running up a 1.49 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 41:9 K:BB in 42.1 innings over 10 starts for Worcester. With Bello now in the minors and Garrett Crochet (lat) weeks away from a return from the injured list, Bennett could have a pathway to an extended run in the big-league rotation if his performance warrants it.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Drives in two runs Tuesday
Mayer went 1-for-3 with a two-run double during Boston's 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Mayer brought the Red Sox to within one run after his groundball in the eighth inning ricocheted off first base, resulting in a double that brought home both Caleb Durbin and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Mayer has had an up-and-down season at the plate but has gone 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI through the first two games of the series against the Rays.

Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Gives up four runs in loss
Tolle (3-3) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings.
Tolle allowed at least three baserunners in three of his six innings, with three of the runs he yielded coming on three straight hits in the fourth. He pitched into the sixth and was one out away from his sixth quality start of the season, but those hopes were dashed by an RBI single from Richie Palacios. The nine hits are the most Tolle has allowed in a major-league start, and the 23-year-old southpaw sits at a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 54:14 K:BB across 53.1 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Blue Jays at Fenway Park next week.

Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Back from IL
The Red Sox reinstated Whitlock (knee) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The right-hander has been dealing with knee inflammation for the past couple weeks but is ready to rejoin the big-league roster after a short stay on the shelf. Whitlock has been filling a high-leverage relief role for Boston this season and should reclaim that role now that he's healthy. He's posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 19.2 innings with a 3-1 record and 10 holds in 20 appearances.

Red Sox's Anthony Seigler: Demoted to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Seigler to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, reports Ian Browne of MLB.com.
Seigler's stint with the big-league club will be short-lived after he was called up June 3. The 26-year-old recorded just four plate appearances in two games for the Red Sox. Boston will activate Garrett Whitlock (knee) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
