Red Sox Add Curtis Mead, Keep Durbin at 3B as Suarez Returns

The Red Sox traded for Curtis Mead to bolster the infield, with Caleb Durbin remaining at third for now and getting work at second/short in practice; Mead offers multi-positional upside and a right-handed bat as Boston scours the top market for upgrades, though Peña, Neto, and Langeliers appear unlikely targets. Ranger Suarez was activated from the IL and delivered four scoreless innings in his return, as Boston stays open to adding pieces ahead of the August 3 trade deadline.

Durbin Upgrade Prompts Red Sox Infield Shuffle

Boston added Caleb Durbin in a six-player trade with Milwaukee, giving the Sox a versatile second/third baseman and prompting questions about infield alignment as Mayer, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and a shoulder-injured Romy Gonzalez compete for at-bats. Durbin is expected to see regular action in the middle infield, with Trevor Story handling shortstop for now and IKF as the primary backup. In the outfield, Boston plans to use Wilyer Abreu as an everyday player alongside Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Roman Anthony, and Masataka Yoshida, though Yoshida’s big contract and Abreu’s left-handed splits could shape regular playing time. Spring training will clarify the exact lineup and roles.
