Red Sox are targeting Friday for Vaughn Grissom’s return, per Chris Cotillo.

He’s been working himself back from the flu.

Need it like I need air.

It’s absolutely wild that Alex Cora has to give this many injury updates on the team right now.

Masataka Yoshida will be landing on the IL, per Rob Bradford.

Just a brutal stretch of luck for him.

Finally seemed to get his bat going. Got sat for a week. Looked to still be swinging it well at the plate when he returned and now he’s hurt.

Rob Refsnyder is doing this with 9 toes btw.

I can’t confirm this. No comment at this time.

.Julian McWilliams confirms that Dominic Smith will be joining the big league team.

Fits as a platoon partner with Garrett Cooper.

Craig Breslow doing some serious shuffling the last few days. Cooper, Horn (AAA), Short, and now Smith.

Looks like the Red Sox will be adding more depth with first baseman Dominic Smith, per Boston Globe Sports.

Smith spent 21 games with the Rays’ AAA affiliate to start the year before being released.

Front office was interested in him at the 2022 deadline.

Red Sox have acquired INF Zack Short from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations.

He was recently DFA’d to make room for J.D. Martinez. Has a career 58 OPS+ in 187 games dating back to 2021.

Plays SS, 2B, 3B. Spent a little time in the OF in 2023.

It should be telling that every pitcher brings up how much Andrew Bailey’s plan has helped them be successful this season.

It’s almost the first thing out of every guy’s mouth.

Rafael Devers’ BB% over the years:

2017 - 7.5%
2018 - 7.8%
2019 - 6.8%
2020 - 5.2%
2021 - 9.3%
2022 - 8.1%
2023 - 9.5%
2024 - 16.3%

This is by far the most disciplined version of Devers we’ve ever seen.

He’s improved his Chase% from the 25th percentile last year to the 50th…

Alex Cora confirms that Garrett Cooper will be okay, per Chris Cotillo.

Time to sit back and enjoy this win.

About time we got some positive injury news.

Pretty insane that the Red Sox are at 17-13 at the end of April. This team has shown a ton of fight.

Despite all the injuries, the coaching staff has done an incredible job.

Andrew Bailey formulating the best pitching staff in MLB. Already surpassing last year’s total of…

This is the 4th time this month that Wilyer Abreu has had 3+ hits in a game.

Easy to see why Alex Cora said Zack Kelly’s role is going to grow in the Red Sox bullpen.

Kelly’s new sweeper has 32.6 inches of vertical movement. 18 inches of horizontal break.
