A grueling travel day for the Boston Red Sox—two mechanical issues with a Delta charter, a late-night hotel scramble, and a cockpit lightbulb problem—delayed their first pitch at Citi Field to 7:50 p.m. But they still rolled to a 6-2 win over the Mets, their seventh straight victory, aided by early homer support and six solid innings from Sonny Gray. The trip included a special moment when Ceddanne Rafaela was announced as an AL All-Star replacement, providing a lift amid the travel chaos.

Crochet’s Return Timeline Slips Past All-Star Break

Garrett Crochet said his rehab from a lat strain effectively has to restart after shoulder inflammation, making a return before the All-Star break unlikely; the best-case scenario is a July 17 return for Boston’s doubleheader with the Rays, but the timeline remains unclear, leaving the Red Sox to navigate injuries and offense as they explore their deadline options.

Red Sox Option Bello to Worcester as La Sorsa Joins Active Roster for Bronx Opener

The Red Sox option Brayan Bello to Triple-A Worcester and add lefty reliever Joe La Sorsa to the active roster for the Bronx series opener, after Bello’s rough start left him at a 6.34 ERA over 61 innings with a career-worst 1.48 HR/9. Bello has struggled especially vs. left-handed hitters (.323/.384/.554 in 147 PAs), and Boston has used lefty openers in front of him with limited success. Bello pushed back on the bullpen-vs-start talk, reiterating he’s a starter having a bad season.

Boston placed reliever Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation (retroactive to May 25), recalling Tyler Samaniego to fill the roster. Whitlock’s absence strains a bullpen that relies on leverage arms; a return in under two weeks is possible if symptoms improve.

Contreras Sparks Red Sox Offense in Breakout Season

Willson Contreras has become the Red Sox’s standout performer, hitting .281 with 11 HR and 33 RBI through 50 games and posting an elite 0.899 OPS, 148 wRC+, and ~2.0 fWAR. His defense at first base has improved (+3 DRS, +4 FRV), and he leads Boston in homers, RBI, OPS, and WAR. If he stays healthy, he’s on pace for a career-best season, supported by a higher pull-rate and sustained elite bat speed, though age and workload keep expectations measured.
