Boston erased a 2-0 deficit with a three-run bottom of the ninth at Fenway, capped by Wilyer Abreu’s grounder to first that produced the decisive run after a throwing error by the catcher allowed Eli White to score; Wyatt Olds earned his first major-league win in relief for the Red Sox.
Rafael Devers returned to Fenway Park as a Giants player to a mixed crowd reaction—boos when his name was announced, followed by applause after a first-inning homer and a video tribute—before the Red Sox won 6-4. The night underscored the lingering ambivalence about his Boston exit and trade to San Francisco last year, with teammates reflecting on the complicated legacy as Devers declined comment after the game.
Marcelo Mayer’s anticipated debut for the Giants against the Red Sox is on hold due to soreness in his right foot. An MRI/CT showed a bruise, so he will rest this weekend in San Francisco and be reevaluated next week after his rehab assignment was halted. Mayer, who had been 6-for-17 in four rehab games and was recovering from a forearm stress reaction, could move to second base once cleared and may not need additional minor-league time if cleared soon.
Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony opened his rehab stint with the Portland Sea Dogs by going 2-for-2 with a homer and two walks, showcasing power and plate discipline in his first game since May 4 against Double-A pitching.

Masataka Yoshida has suffered a significant left hamstring strain and is expected to miss the remainder of the Red Sox regular season, per interim manager Chad Tracy.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte did not report to Fenway Park and was placed on the restricted list moments before the start of the game vs. the Red Sox, with Jose Fernandez taking his roster spot and lineup. The team cited possible personal, legal or non-baseball reasons for the move, and Arizona fell 11-1. This marks another earlier instance where Marte was on the restricted list.
Sunday brought a mixed batch of results for Boston’s farm system: Trevor Story, currently rehabbing, went 1-for-2 with a double as Worcester’s WooSox lost 6-9 and struggled on the mound (Holobetz). The Worcester club did get a late spark from the system’s rehab efforts and Mikey Romero’s homer, but it wasn’t enough. Across the system, Portland fell 6-8 in a bullpen-heavy game; Greenville Drive won 10-5 behind multi-homer contributions from Justin Gonzales and a 14th homer from Yophery Rodriguez, and Salem dropped 5-8 with Jose Bello lasting four innings. The day highlighted the ongoing rehab and development arc for Story and other prospects in Boston’s farm pipeline.
The Pirates jumped to an early 7-0 lead and held on to defeat the Red Sox 7-3 at PNC Park, despite a late Boston push and a rain delay that paused play in the game.
