Top Red Sox News

  • Red Sox's Christian Foutch: Bagged by Boston

    The Red Sox have selected Foutch with the 148th overall pick of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

    The Red Sox have prioritized pitching, and Foutch can touch 100 mph with his fastball. He lacks ideal life on his fastball or control of his fastball, but has several other quality offerings including a cutter. Foutch had a 4.09 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB in 22 innings this spring for Arkansas. He opened the year as the closer but was demoted, and it's unclear if he'll fit best as a starter or reliever in pro ball.

  • Red Sox's Mason White: Picked by Boston

    The Red Sox have selected White with the 118th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

    White played shortstop at Arizona, but he'll likely slide to second base eventually in pro ball. He slashed .327/.412/.689 with 20 home runs and a 21.5 percent strikeout rate as a junior after striking out at a 30.5 percent clip as a sophomore. White has significant power potential but will likely end up with a below-average hit tool.

  • Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Notches 14th long ball

    Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win against the Rays.

    The Boston center fielder extended his team's lead to 4-1 with a 352-foot blast off Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot in the sixth inning. This marks Rafaela's fifth home run in July, as he's been scorching hot with a .390 (16-for-41) average, six doubles, 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 11 games this month. The 24-year-old appears to be amid a breakout season, as he's now slashing .271/.314/.483 with 55 runs scored and 48 RBI while going 13-for-15 on steal attempts in 341 total plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Anthony Eyanson: Taken in third round

    The Red Sox have selected Eyanson with the 87th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

    Eyanson had a breakout junior year at LSU and helped lead the Tigers to the 2025 College World Series Championship. He threw a career-high 108 innings after transferring from UC San Diego. Even with the jump in competition, Eyanson logged the best K-BB% (25.9%) of his career, thanks to an uptick in average fastball velocity (91.5 mph in 2024, 93 mph in 2025). He was regularly touching 95 mph this year, although the shape of his fastball isn't special. The two biggest weapons in his arsenal are a pair of plus breaking balls, with an upper-70s curveball and a mid-80s slider that have distinctly different shapes and give hitters fits. Eyanson never walked more than 8.0 percent of batters in college, and if he can improve his fastball with pro instruction, he could be a mid-rotation starter or better. The 6-foot-2 righty doesn't turn 21 until October.

  • Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Secures 17th save

    Chapman picked up the save in Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Rays, striking out all three batters he faced.

    The veteran southpaw wrapped the series finale against Tampa Bay in style, retiring three consecutive batters via punchout to notch his 352nd career save. Chapman has been electric in his first season with the Red Sox, pitching to a stellar 1.18 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 58:10 K:BB across 38 total frames. The 37-year-old is set to make his eighth All-Star appearance in Atlanta on Tuesday.

  • Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Continues excellent form Sunday

    Bello (6-3) earned the win in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, yielding one run on six hits and no walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The only blemish on the Boston right-hander's performance came on a Josh Lowe sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, as he scattered one double and five singles. With this 105-pitch effort, during which he fired 73 strikes, Bello extended his recent stretch of solid pitching performances. Dating back to May 23, the 26-year-old has allowed fewer than three earned runs in 10 starts, a stretch where he's tallied seven quality starts and pitched to a 2.69 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB across 60.1 frames. Through 92.1 total innings, Bello sports a 3.14 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB.

  • Red Sox's Henry Godbout: Drafted by Boston

    The Red Sox have selected Godbout with the 75th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

    Godbout's ability to hit is his calling card, as it's unclear where he'll fit defensively and his speed and athleticism has steadily trended down during his three years at Virginia. He has seen the most time at second base, but his range there may not be good enough at the highest level. Godbout hit .306 with one home run and four strikeouts in nine games with a wood bat on the Cape last summer before slashing .309/.397/.497 with eight home runs and more walks than strikeouts this spring. While he has a strong hit tool, Godbout has fringe-average power, so he may not provide enough overall value to be an everyday player, given his defensive shortcomings.

  • Red Sox's Marcus Phillips: Scooped by Red Sox

    The Red Sox have selected Phillips with the 33rd overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

    A powerful 6-foot-4, 246-pound righty from Tennessee, Phillips is a power pitcher who comes with plenty of relief risk. He logged a 3.90 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 98:34 K:BB in 83 innings across 17 starts this spring for the Volunteers after working mostly out of the bullpen in 2024. Phillips' mid-90s fastball can touch triple digits but lacks ideal shape. His power slider needs some refinement but is his go-to secondary. He'll need to sharpen his command and control while adding a viable third pitch to start, but he has late-inning upside if moved to the bullpen.

  • Red Sox's Kyson Witherspoon: Shipping off to Boston

    The Red Sox have selected Witherspoon with the 15th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.

    Witherspoon is arguably the best college righty in the class, boasting several plus pitches while logging a 5.9 percent walk rate in a career-high 95 innings this year for Oklahoma. He has a starter's delivery and has impressed with his ability to hold mid-90s fastball velocity deep into starts. In addition to his plus fastball, Witherspoon's slider, cutter and curveball each show plus potential while his changeup lags behind. He took a big step forward with his control this spring after impressing last summer in two Cape Cod League starts (1.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 10:0 K:BB in nine innings). Witherspoon has good size at 6-foot-2, 206 pounds and won't turn 21 until a month after the draft.

  • Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Legs out double, scores lone run

    Anthony went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay.

    Anthony extended his hit streak to eight games in the fourth inning, when he legged out a double on a ball hit to right field with an exit velocity of 103.4 mph. With Masataka Yoshida back on the roster and most likely starting at DH, Boston's crowded outfield mix could change on a daily basis, with Ceddanne Rafaela moving from center field to second base Saturday to accommodate Anthony, Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu. Anthony has made an impressive adjustment to MLB pitching. After batting .114 over his first 15 games in the majors, he's hit safely in 13 of his last 14 starts, posting a .379/.438/.534 slash line with seven extra-base hits, eight RBI and 13 runs scored during that stretch.

  • Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Due back from IL this week

    Houck is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list this week with his 30-day rehab window coming to a close Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Houck's rehab stint got off to a rocky start, but he's performed better over his last two outings with Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, allowing just one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 9.1 innings. Despite his recent success, the right-hander is not expected to be inserted into Boston's starting rotation, with Richard Fitts getting the first chance to fill the vacancy created by Hunter Dobbins' season-ending knee injury. Houck still has two minor-league options left and could stick around with Worcester while continuing on a starter's trajectory until a rotation spot with the big club opens up. Boston also hasn't ruled out bringing him back as a member of the big-league bullpen.

  • Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Odd man out of lineup Sunday

    Abreu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Abreu is typically featured in the lineup against right-handed pitching, but he'll head to the bench Sunday with Ryan Pepiot on the hill for Tampa Bay. As a result of Masataka Yoshida's inclusion in the lineup at DH, Roman Anthony will get the nod in right field in place of Abreu, who went 2-for-13 with a home run and two walks while starting each of the previous four contests.

  • Red Sox's Abraham Toro: Receiving afternoon off

    Toro is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Romy Gonzalez will step in at first base for Boston while Toro heads to the bench after starting each of the last three contests. He's gone 0-for-13 over his last four contests to bring his batting average down to .271, and it wouldn't be surprising if he began to lose out on at-bats to the hot-hitting Gonzalez coming out of the All-Star break. Over his last 10 games, Gonzalez is slashing .436/.442/.897 with 10 extra-base hits, 12 RBI and 11 runs.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Getting rest Sunday

    Narvaez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Narvaez will get a breather for the Red Sox's final contest before the All-Star break after he started behind the plate each of the previous three games. Connor Wong will get the nod at catcher. Narvaez will close out the first half with a .273 batting average, eight home runs, one stolen base, 31 RBI and 38 runs over 73 games.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Spins complete-game shutout

    Crochet (10-4) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing three hits and striking out nine batters without issuing any walks over nine scoreless innings.

    Crochet fired a masterpiece, allowing just three baserunners -- all on singles. The last of Tampa Bay's knocks came in the sixth frame, and Crochet retired the final 11 batters he faced en route to his 10th victory of the campaign. The southpaw racked up 14 whiffs and nine punchouts to punctuate the brilliant performance, and he became the seventh MLB hurler to notch double-digit victories this season. Crochet's first campaign in Boston has been a rousing success so far -- he enters the All-Star break as a viable candidate for the AL Cy Young Award, posting a 2.23 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 160:34 K:BB spanning 129.1 innings (20 starts).
