Red Sox Fall to Yankees Again, Face Offseason Crossroads

The Boston Red Sox were eliminated from the 2026 MLB postseason after losing a two-game Wild Card Series sweep to the New York Yankees, marking the second consecutive year they have been eliminated by their rivals. The team finished the regular season with an 87-75 record, a step back from their 89-73 mark in 2025, despite significant offseason additions. The season was defined by a volatile trajectory, starting with a poor 10-17 record that led to the firing of manager Alex Cora, followed by a dominant 32-5 stretch, and ending with a 7-10 run in the final 17 games. The Red Sox now face critical offseason decisions regarding the health of star Roman Anthony, the future of pitcher Sonny Gray, and how to improve a lineup that ranked 23rd in runs scored.

Red Sox Remove Roman Anthony From Postseason Roster After Hand Injury Worsens

The Red Sox lost the opener 9-0, putting them in a do-or-die position in the best-of-three series.

Red Sox Activate Anthony, Story Returns from IL, Triggering Roster Shuffle

Boston activated Roman Anthony and Trevor Story off the 60-day injured list, prompting 40-man roster moves that will send Mickey Gasper and Anthony Seigler to Worcester. Anthony is expected to serve as DH with occasional left field duties after returning from a right wrist sprain, while Story comes back after abdominal/hernia-related surgery to help anchor a thinner middle infield. Yoshida is out with a hamstring strain, Duran is underperforming, and a pitcher will fill the other open 40-man slot as rosters expand.

Red Sox ride hot pitching while weighing July moves as Anthony heals

Boston’s surprising winning streak is powered by elite pitching during spring training, offsetting the absence of top hitter Roman Anthony who remains unable to swing while rehabbing. Contributions from Abreu, Contreras, and Durbin have helped the lineup, but Breslow hasn’t committed to buying at the trade deadline; plans are fluid and the team could pursue help before Aug. 3 or pivot to selling if the season turns.

Red Sox Place Roman Anthony on 10-Day IL, Gasper Recalled

Boston placed outfielder Roman Anthony on the 10-day injured list with a sprained ligament in his right ring finger, with utilityman Mickey Gasper recalled to fill the roster. Anthony left a game with wrist discomfort and hasn’t played recently; the IL stint could be backdated to Tuesday, targeting about a one-week return. The move eases an outfield logjam and allows regular playing time for Duran, Abreu, Rafaela, and Yoshida, with Gasper providing multi-positional depth.
