The Sox added Adley Rutschman to chase a title. One issue: There’s exactly ONE game in World Series history when a catcher acquired by midseason trade started behind the plate for a championship team. On that history - and how catchers acclimate to new staffs: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/04/s...

Catching on with new team is hard, as new Red Sox Adley Rutschman and Jake Rogers are finding out - The Boston Globe

Although Rutschman's on the injured list, he’s free to catch bullpen sessions with his new teammates and spend more time in the dugout to get to know them.

Willson Contreras hit a 114.9 mph single off the Wall, the hardest hit ball by a Red Sox this year.

Jarren Duran didn’t think he’d be with the Red Sox past the trade deadline. He’s relieved to still be with the team in its playoff push. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/04/s...

Jarren Duran ‘thankful’ to remain with the Red Sox after passing of trade deadline - The Boston Globe

The outfielder is well aware of his disappointing numbers this season. Duran's worries extended beyond being traded. "I thought I was going to be released," he said.

The Red Sox have optioned Romy Gonzalez to Triple-A.

Erik Miller has made it to Fenway.

Ryan Watson has been designated for assignment.

The Red Sox dealt their Nos. 2, 3, 5 prospects and a big league catcher for Rutschman. It’s their biggest deadline swing since at least 2009 (V-Mart)… and maybe beyond. Good player came at a high cost. “That’s how this (expletive) is supposed to work.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/03/s...

A case can be made that the package the Red Sox are sending is almost as valuable as the one they sent to the White Sox for Garrett Crochet in December 2024.

🚨 BA's top-ranked prospects traded 🚨 1 - Anthony Eyanson, RHP, Orioles (from Red Sox) 2 - Arjun Nimmala, SS, Angels (from Blue Jays) 3 - Zyhir Hope, OF, Tigers (from Dodgers) 4 - Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Orioles (from Red Sox) 5 - Jefferson Rojas, SS, Mets (from Cubs)

Breslow on Rutschman's injury declines to provide a timetable for his return until he's with the Sox trainers and doctors, but Rutschman told Breslow he's optimistic about his improvement.

The Red Sox dealt Marcelo Mayer to the Giants for LHP Erik Miller and minor league OF Carlos Gutierrez. No other Red Sox buzzer beaters.

No buzzer beaters for the Red Sox.

Per @andrewbaggarly.bsky.social and @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social, the Red Sox are nearing a deal to send Marcelo Mayer to the Giants for LH reliever Erik Miller. Miller is a giant (6-ft-5, 269-pound) lefty who ranks in the 97th percentile in whiff percentage and 95th percentile in K rate (32%).

Franklin Arias is not in the WooSox lineup today - but per a source, it was a scheduled day off after he’d played the first five games of the series (Arias has been on a 4-5x a week schedule throughout this year). That said, the Sox have certainly been open to considering deals involving him …

Rafaela is one of two players with multiple homers in a game against Yamamoto, joining Eric Haase, who did so earlier this year.

The Red Sox are sending LHP Jojo Ingrassia to the Tigers as the player to be named in the Jahmai Jones trade. Ingrassia had a 3.27 ERA and 33 percent strikeout rate in High-A Greenville this year.

In the last two days, Ceddanne Rafaela has made perhaps his two best “shortstop” throws I can recall. He made them from CF. What an incredible defensive skillset.

Chapman strikes out Kurtz on a nasty splitter to end it. The Red Sox win three of four in Sacramento. They’re 57-51.

For the second straight night, Chapman gives up a shot that almost leaves the park with the game hanging in the balance. And for the second straight night, it clangs off the fence for a double, this time with one out. He’s working the high wire again.

Weissert just recorded a perfect eighth inning, his first hold since June 25 and his first hold in a one-run game since May 20.

Winding back a bit: In the top of the 6th, with Willson Contreras on 3rd and one out, Duran hit a 245-foot flyout to leftfield. Epperson held Contreras at 3B. On his way back to the dugout, Duran gestured 3x towards third base (unclear if it was Epperson or Contreras) and twice more from the ...

Back-to-back homers from Wilyer Abreu and Willson Contreras. Contreras took considerable enjoyment in watching the flight of his moonshot on a hanging breaker, then flung his bat and popped his jersey on the way to first. Red Sox take the lead, 5-4.

Ceddanne Rafaela nearly created a new genre of outfield web gem. On a Butler liner to the gap in left-center, Rafaela -- hearkening to his SS days -- made an incredibly diving play to his right to cut off the ball, hopped up, and made a strong throw to the right of second. But ...

Anthony Seigler should have been beaten at the plate by a relay throw on a two-on, two-out Ceddanne Rafaela double into the corner, but Seigler (the trail runner) did a good job getting in the throwing lane, resulting in the relay caroming off of him so that he could score the tying run.
