Red Sox News
Franklin Primera continues to light up the minor leagues, snatching the Carolina League Player of the Week honors and solidifying his status as the future behind the plate for the Red Sox, poised to join Adley Rutschman. Meanwhile, the injury front is finally showing some positive signs, with Tanner Houck nearing a return to the mound just in time for a potential postseason push. The need for pitching depth is critical as the Red Sox gear up for the final stretch of the season, especially after a nail-biting 6-7 loss to the Diamondbacks at Fenway yesterday. The team is managing a +16 run differential over the last week, thanks to their explosive offense that’s averaging 6.3 runs per game. With hot bats like Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu, the Red Sox could make some noise, provided the pitching staff can stabilize.
