Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Launches grand slam in blowout win
Rotowire
Durbin went 2-for-3 with a grand slam, a walk, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.
Durbin came to the plate with the bases loaded in the first inning after Boston had already pushed across a run and promptly took Davis Martin deep for a grand slam, his 11th home run of the season. He later drew a leadoff walk in the sixth and swiped his 13th base of the year. Durbin has been swinging a hot bat of late, going 12-for-31 (.387) over his last nine games, with Tuesday's grand slam accounting for his lone home run during that stretch.

Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Rips two more home runs
Rotowire
Abreu went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Tuesday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.
Abreu took Davis Martin deep in the fifth inning before adding another solo shot off Erick Fedde in the eighth to raise his season total to 19 long balls. It was his third multi-homer game of the season and gave him four home runs over his last five contests. While Abreu is batting just .200 across 18 games since the All-Star break, eight of his 14 hits have left the yard.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Records first career save
Rotowire
Bello earned his first career save Tuesday against the White Sox, striking out two over three hitless innings.
Bello entered in the seventh inning with an 11-run lead and made quick work of Chicago, throwing no more than 11 pitches in any of his three scoreless frames on the way to his first career save. Since being recalled July 12, Bello has allowed just one run across 16.2 innings while posting a 15:2 K:BB. Through seven starts and nine relief appearances for Boston this season, he owns a 5.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB over 77.2 innings.

Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Picks up first win
Rotowire
Sandoval (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.
Sandoval worked around frequent traffic on the bases before Chicago finally broke through in the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly. He returned for the sixth but walked the leadoff batter, prompting his exit, and watched from the dugout as the inherited runner came around to score. Fortunately for the left-hander, Boston erupted for 13 runs through the first six innings, handing him his first win of the season on a silver platter. Sandoval has now completed at least five innings in three of his five starts with the Red Sox, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 24 innings. He's scheduled to face the Athletics in his next start Sunday.
Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Starts up throwing program
Rotowire
Interim Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said Tuesday that Crochet (lat/shoulder) has resumed throwing from 50-to-60 feet on flat ground, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
It's a significant development in Crochet's rehab program, as he hadn't thrown a baseball since lat tightness forced him to shut down his throwing program in late May. The left-hander still has a significant way to go before being cleared for game action, but he still appears to have a shot of rejoining the Red Sox before the end of the regular season.

Red Sox's Romy Gonzalez: Relegated to Worcester
Rotowire
The Red Sox optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports
Gonzalez will head back to the minors to help make room on the active roster for the additions Boston made prior to the trade deadline. The 29-year-old utility man has taken a step back in the big leagues this year, slashing just .185/.264/.308 with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 73 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Ryan Watson: DFA'd by Boston
Rotowire
The Red Sox designated Watson for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The Rule 5 pick lasted on the active roster for four months, but he'll now clear out in order to make room for the team's trade-deadline acquisitions. Watson will now be available on waivers, and if he clears, he must be offered back to the Giants.
The Red Sox acquired Gutierrez and left-hander Erik Miller to the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm).
A 21-year-old outfielder, Gutierrez is slashing .271/.385/.441 with nine home runs, 26 steals and a 19.6 percent strikeout rate in 83 games at High-A. Despite his high stolen-base total, Gutierrez likely projects as a left fielder at the big-league level, so he needs to continue producing to have a shot as an everyday player.
The Red Sox acquired Miller and outfielder Carlos Gutierrez from the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Miller will make his way to Boston in the midst of one of the more dominant stretches of his career. Dating back to June 12, the 28-year-old has delivered 14 consecutive scoreless appearances. The left-hander appeared to have worked his way into the Giants' unsettled closer picture, but with the move to Boston, he'll operate as a setup man in front of Aroldis Chapman.

Red Sox's Eli White: Sent to Boston
Rotowire
Boston acquired White from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Uberstine, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
White has largely served as a short-side platoon player in the Atlanta outfield this season, slashing .233/.285/.406 with five home runs and four stolen bases across 144 plate appearances. He'll likely fill a similar role in Boston, where he could replace the left-handed-hitting Jarren Duran in left field when the Red Sox face left-handed pitchers. White is under team control through the 2028 season.
Red Sox's Jake Rogers: Joining Rutschman in Boston
Rotowire
The Red Sox acquired Rogers, catcher Adley Rutschman (wrist) and cash from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for catcher Carlos Narvaez, right-handers Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, outfielder Enddy Azocar and a player to be named later, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Rogers will be on the move for the second time in less than a week, after he played in just three games for the Orioles after being acquired from the Tigers last Thursday. While with Boston, he'll likely form a timeshare with Connor Wong at catcher in the short term, but Rogers could be in danger of being designated for assignment once Rutschman is ready to come off the injured list. Between his stops with Detroit and Baltimore, Rogers has posted an abysmal .163/.270/.296 batting line over 116 plate appearances, but he's valued mainly for his game-calling ability and defensive savvy more so than anything he does with the bat.
Red Sox's Adley Rutschman: Deal to Boston finalized
Rotowire
The Red Sox acquired Rutschman (wrist), Jake Rogers and cash from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for catcher Carlos Narvaez, right-handers Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, outfielder Enddy Azocar and a player to be named later, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
After surging to a 23-3 record over the past 26 games to put itself back in the thick of the playoff race, Boston will shore up one of the few remaining weaknesses on its roster by bringing in a bona fide No. 1 catcher in Rutschman. The 28-year-old backstop has been on the shelf since July 20 due to left wrist inflammation, but he resumed hitting over the weekend and is expected to head out on a rehab assignment during the upcoming week. If all goes well, Rutschman could be ready to make his Boston debut at some point during the team's nine-game, three-city road trip that begins Friday. Before going down with the injury, Rutschman was in the midst of a resurgent 2026 campaign with the Orioles, slashing .251/.331/.433 with eight home runs and a career-low 14.1 percent strikeout rate over 284 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Snaps homer drought
Rotowire
Duran went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Dodgers.
Duran snapped a 22-game homer drought with a solo shot in the sixth inning. It was the last of the four HRs hit by Boston, which completed a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles. When the Red Sox spiraled in the first half, Duran's name often came up in trade speculation, but the team's recent turnaround makes it buyers heading into Monday's trade deadline. Duran, who entered the All-Star break with a .194 average, clawed his way back to .200 following Sunday's contest (.233 in second half).
