Episode Details

Red Sox center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela sits out Thursday’s game with a tight right quad, a lingering issue that forced him to exit Wednesday’s contest in the seventh. While interim management won’t risk him until he shows clear improvement, Rafaela remains optimistic, calling it minor and expecting to assess his status tomorrow. Meanwhile, pitcher Tanner Houck is making strides post-Tommy John surgery, throwing well in a Bridge League game and potentially ready for a rehab assignment next week. Also on the horizon: Garrett Crochet is set for his first bullpen session Friday after missing since April 25th with shoulder inflammation, with hopes of a relief role — possibly even playoff appearances — later this season.
