Payton Tolle strikes out the side in the second. He's struck out four of six Yankees he's faced. New York's season-high in Ks is 17 back on April 23 against the Red Sox... when Tolle was starting. He had 11 Ks that day.

Marcelo Mayer is headed to the IL with a bone stress reaction in his forearm similar to Kiner Falefa. Tracy said he’s been dealing with it on and off for “a while”. Chang will be activated from Worcester and play a lot of short. Romy Gonzalez is in Worcester at least one more day

Thousands of Scottish fans in town for the World Cup descended on Fenway Park in kilts, with bagpipes in tow creating one of the best regular season atmospheres in recent memory. But their energy couldn’t save the Red Sox from slipping backward once again www.nytimes.com/athletic/736...

It is 2021 wild-card game loud here. Most of the Red Sox roster has not played in a game with this kind of atmosphere at Fenway

The Scots are bringing it already and it's not even first pitch. Game is on NBC tonight and I'm sure they'll be loud all game.

Mickey Gasper is dealing with slight groin tightness but Tracy also wanted to get Yoshida at bats

A day after Sam Kennedy gave the Red Sox an ultimatum of sorts - if they don’t turn a corner soon, they’ll be sellers at the trade deadline - they scored their most runs in a game at Fenway all season. This might be their last chance to turn things around www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

Nine runs tonight are the most the Red Sox have scored in a game at home this season

Willson Contreras looks to be dealing with a right quad cramp, he's stretching it quite a bit but is staying in the game

Crochet said there was some confusion about severity of his injury. He meant it was worse in the sense it’s taken a lot longer than expected to come back from. Said lat was minor setback and is doing testing today, trying to start throwing soon.Doesn’t expect to return before ASG

On WEEI this morning, Sam Kennedy called the Red Sox season 'embarrassing' and discussed the need to 'reassess' ahead of the trade deadline, yet still said Craig Breslow's job is safe and that issue 'is not on the table.' More: www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

Alex Cora to @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social on communicating with Chad Tracy after he was fired.  “It’s what we do. We are a fraternity, I learned that at a young age, and you have to pay it forward.  Great stuff from Ken on the Cora/Tracy connection www.nytimes.com/athletic/734...

The Red Sox are placing left-hander Jovani Morán on the 15-Day IL (retroactive to June 5) with left elbow inflammation. To fill his spot, the Red Sox recalled left-hander Alec Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester.

The Red Sox should probably be sellers but a murky AL playoff picture could make them buyers. A win Friday showed why. With a surplus of catchers a source said they’re shopping Connor Wong and have fielded calls on their relievers More here free to read www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...

Craig Breslow said part of optioning Brayan Bello was that he's putting too much pressure on himself and mistakes snowball. “I do think that comes with confidence and working through those things in a little bit of a lower-pressure environment.” Free to read www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...

Red Sox make the Brayan Bello optioning to Worcester official. To make room for Joe La Sorsa on the roster, they moved Garrett Crochet to the 60-day IL. He'd been on the IL since April 26 so won't be eligible to come back until end of June which lines up with his current progression
