RED SOX NOTEBOOK
Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale encouraged by recent progress in injury rehab
By Alex Speier Globe Staff,Updated May 24, 2022, 8:14 p.m.
CHICAGO — Chris Sale isn’t at the point where he can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but he has gotten to a point where the tunnel is visible.
Sale, who suffered a stress fracture in his right ribcage in February, then had a setback during his rehab because of what the Red Sox as a personal, non-baseball, non-COVID medical situation, threw a 15-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla., incorporating fastballs, sliders, and changeups. He’s scheduled to throw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Friday and likely another next week.
At that point, according to manager Alex Cora, the team is hopeful that Sale might be able to face hitters in a live batting practice session for the first time since his injury. Facing hitters would put Sale on a path to a simulated game, after which a rehab assignment could enter the conversation.
“He’s in good spirits. He liked what he saw,” Cora said after speaking to Sale and pitching coordinator Walter Miranda. “This whole rehab stuff, sometimes it’s frustrating, but it seems like as soon as he got to the mound he’s in a better place. [Sale and Miranda] both feel like [his ramp-up is] a lot different than last year as far as building up and his arm.”
Lefthander James Paxton, whose rehab from Tommy John surgery was put on hold earlier this month because of elbow soreness, is once again throwing on flat ground. He’s with the team here, where he threw from 60 feet on Tuesday and expects to move out to 75 feet on Thursday.
Paxton had been throwing 30-35-pitch bullpen sessions in Fort Myers before his setback, but now said he’s nearly pain-free, suggesting he feels no discomfort when throwing and only the hint of discomfort (“less than a 1 out of 10,” he said) during some exercises.
“I’m moving in the right direction. I’m happy to be back throwing again. It feels really good to get going. So we’ll just continue to build it and get ready to go,” said Paxton. “I’m not sure what the timetable [for pitching in the big leagues] is right now. Right now we’re just focused on getting me back on the bump, and then we’ll kind of map it out from there.”
Meanwhile, Bryan Mata, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery in April 2021, pitched in his second extended spring training game. He topped out at 99 miles per hour (he’d worked at up to 101 last week).
“It’s been eye-opening,” Cora said of the righthander, who is expected to join Triple A Worcester this summer.
The potential for those reinforcements has Cora optimistic about the state of his pitching staff.
“We’ve got some interesting guys besides [Sale and Paxton] that can impact this club later on in the season and we feel comfortable with our pitching depth,” said Cora. “I think we’re in a good spot pitching-wise.
Martinez in lineup
J.D. Martinez, who sat on Sunday because of lower-back soreness, returned to the lineup. He did so in his typical role as designated hitter and went 4 for 5 with three runs scored in the Red Sox’ rout. Through 41 games, Martinez had yet to see any time in the outfield. In the world of the universal DH, does Cora expect that Martinez can donate his glove to a museum? “Not really,” said Cora. “At one point he’s going to have to play it because he’s going to be needed, but right now is not the time.” Cora said that Martinez hadn’t been needed in the outfield this year because Christian Arroyo had proven adept at playing right field … Lefthander Rich Hill (1-1, 3.90 ERA in seven starts), who is slated to start against the White Sox on Wednesday, said he’s been working between starts to correct a pitch-tipping issue that cropped up in his last outing against the Mariners. Hill said he’s had issues tipping for years, something he first learned from former Dodgers teammate Chase Utley. “It’s always been a struggle for me,” said Hill. “It’s something that’s very frustrating to deal with, but we’ve got to fix it. So, just keep working on it, try to figure out what’s going to make the most sense, and fix it going forward.” … White Sox outfielder Luis Robert was placed on the COVID-19 injured list prior to Tuesday’s game. The team recalled infielder Jake Burger from Triple A Charlotte in his absence.
Farm updates
Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer underwent an MRI on his sore right wrist and visited with a hand specialist in Boston. The MRI confirmed the team’s diagnosis of a sprain, said farm director Brian Abraham, and Mayer is expected to resume baseball activities shortly. The 19-year-old has played just four games since April 23, but in 17 games with Single A Salem, he’s hitting .333/.386/.507 … Prospect Triston Casas was placed on Triple-A Worcester’s seven-day injured list because of an ankle injury suffered while running the bases last week. Casas is making progress and is with the WooSox on their trip to Lehigh Valley. Abraham said that, in a best-case scenario, Casas could return by the weekend, but the team won’t rush him back … Cora remained coy about whether Triple A righthander Josh Winckowski will be called up to start against the Orioles in Saturday’s doubleheader, suggesting only that the Sox were considering several pitchers … WooSox righthander Connor Seabold was placed on the injured list because of a pectoral strain suffered in his last start on May 15. He’s expected to miss at least one more start.

How Boston Red Sox’s ‘supporting cast’ -- including Kiké Hernández, Christian Vázquez -- has keyed the club’s offensive turnaround
Published: May. 25, 2022, 3:55 a.m.
By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
CHICAGO -- Kiké Hernández was asked after Tuesday’s blowout win to identify the key to Boston’s offensive turnaround in recent weeks. He offered a simple response.
“Trevor Story,” Hernández answered.
Enter your email address here to receive the Fenway Rundown email newsletter in your inbox every Wednesday.
Yes, Hernández is largely right, as Story has been the hottest hitter on the planet throughout the last week. But his compliment didn’t tell the whole story. As Hernández later put it out, virtually every hitter in Boston’s lineup has shown improvement since the club bottomed out over the first weekend of May, when they scored just five runs in three losses to the White Sox. The numbers tell the story.
As of May 8 (the final game of that series against Chicago), Boston’s top three hitters (Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez were hitting .309 with an .833 OPS while the rest of the club’s lineup had combined for a .188 average and .523 OPS through 18 games. The struggles of Hernández, Story, Christian Vázquez and others were pronounced.
The last 15 days have told a different story. While Devers (.400, 6 HRs, 1.322 OPS) and Martinez (.490, 2 HRs and 1.262 OPS) have stayed hot, others have joined the party. Story has hit .300 with eight homers and 23 RBIs since May 10. Vázquez owns a .351 average in that span. Hernández and Jackie Bradley Jr. have shown progress in spurts. And Franchy Cordero (.850 OPS in last 12 games) has been a pleasant surprise.
Tuesday’s outburst, in which every Red Sox starter had at least one hit, was the club’s most complete offensive performance of the year. Story and Devers homered... but so did Hernández and Vázquez. Martinez did his part with four hits... and so did Cordero, who had two hits and two RBIs.
“There’s more guys to our lineup than just the three-headed monster we have in the middle,” said Hernández, who led off the 16-3 win with a home run on the first pitch of the game. “They can’t do it by themselves.”
“We have a really good supporting cast and some of us -- myself, (Verdugo), Trevor, though Trevor is more like one of those three than the supporting cast -- and (Vázquez) is capable of doing damage, we’ve got Franchy now, we’ve got Bobby (Dalbec). It’s up to us, not those three, to make things happen and get on base for those guys. I think we’re all doing a better job and everybody’s starting to be more themselves than anything else.”
Vázquez, who was 3-for-5 with four RBIs (and a three-run blast), said the effort reminded him of 2018, when a complete lineup led the Red Sox to a World Series title and every night brought “a different hero.” That season, he struggled offensively before emerging as one of the best offensive backstops in the game in 2019 and 2020. Last season was a struggle and so was the beginning of 2022, but Vázquez’s bat has come to life recently. His average has gone up 60 points (.208 to .268) since May 6.
“We’ve been through this path. It’s just him recognizing who he is and understanding that he can do damage, but his best version is hitting line drives,” said manager Alex Cora. “He’s doing that the last 10 days.”
Hernández hasn’t had as prolonged of a good stretch as Vázquez but, after “cussing himself out” frequently throughout April, owns a .901 OPS in the last week. He believes he’s making strides.
“I’ve never really been that great a starter,” Hernández said. “Every year I say this is the one year I’m going to start off well. It didn’t happen again. We’re playing catch-up again.”
Hernández set the tone before most White Sox fans were in their seats Tuesday night and the rest of the offense followed. The club scored in each of the first five innings -- including four times in the first and six times in the fifth -- en route to setting season-highs in runs (16), hits (19), extra-base hits (9), homers (4) and singles (10).
“It was relentless from top to bottom,” Cora said. “Usually in those games, somebody doesn’t get a hit or has a bad night. Today, everybody had a great night.”
Boston’s offensive turnaround has keyed its rise from a basement-dweller to a team that is currently sniffing .500. The Red Sox are 10-3 in their last 13 games and are two games under .500 for the first time since April 24.
“They did an amazing job cancelling the noise because it was loud,” Cora said. “It was very loud. We understand the process. We understand that it’s 162 (games). We have a good baseball team. We’re working very hard to get to the next step (.500).

Boston Red Sox vs. Chicago White Sox
Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 8:10pm EDT
Written by Mark Ruelle
The Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox continue their battle of sox this week in game 2 of a 3-game series on Wednesday. The Red Sox finally seem to have hit their stride following wins in 3 straight series. The White Sox are coming off a tumultuous weekend in New York with the ChiSox and Yankees nearly coming to blows a few times in the series. The pitching matchup for Wednesday will feature Boston's veteran lefty Rich Hill (1-1, 3.90) taking on White Sox right-handed ace Lucas Giolito (2-1, 2.84). First pitch is scheduled for 810pm EST
BoSox Bats Coming Alive
The Boston Red Sox came into the 2022 season banking on their stellar lineup to carry the load as they waited for key pitchers such as Chris Sale and James Paxton to get healthy enough to contribute. For much of the early part of the season, the strategy didn't pay off. The Sox bats were relatively silent and the pitching wasn't strong enough to make it work. After reaching rock bottom when the Red Sox found themselves in last place in the AL East, the team has caught fire thanks to improved hitting. Coming into the White Sox series, the Red Sox have won 9 of their last 11 games. On Tuesday night, Trevor Story continued his torrid run at the plate with another home run, his 8th, and drove in 4 runs. Boston belted four home runs on the night including Rafael Devers' team-leading 10th of the season. Devers is now hitting .404 in his last ten games with 5 home runs and 10 RBI.
The return to prominence for the Red Sox premier free agent acquisition, Trevor Story, has coincided with the team's recent hot streak. After going without a home run for the team's first 30 games, Story has now hit 8 home runs in the last 13 games. Story now leads the team in RBI with 33 in addition to leading the team in steals with 5. The veteran Hill takes to the mound on Wednesday coming off his roughest outing of the season against the Mariners. He allowed six hits and four runs in just two innings of work as he struggled with location. Hill was excellent in his previous three starts going 14 innings, allowing 9 hits and just two earned runs. The soft throwing lefty needs to have good location with his fastball and his solid curve to be effective.
White Sox Riled up and Rolling
The White Sox head back home after a fairly successful road trip that ended with the ChiSox taking two out of three games over the Yankees in the Bronx. The series culminated in a number of near altercations, stemming from words exchanged by Josh Donaldson and the White Sox Tim Anderson. Anderson had the last laugh with a 3-hit game including a 2-run home run to clinch the series win on Sunday. The Red Sox and White Sox squared off in game 1 of a 3-game series on Tuesday night and the White Sox pitching staff was overwhelmed by the red-hot BoSox lineup. The Red Sox pounded out 18 hits and 16 runs by the end of the 7th inning and thoroughly dominated 5 different White Sox pitchers. Chicago will try to regroup on Wednesday night and even the series at a game apiece.
The White Sox moved a game over .500 heading into this series after taking two of three from the Yankees over the weekend. The White Sox starting staff has recently gotten a lift with the signing of veteran righty Johnny Cueto. Cueto has had two quality starts in his two starts made this year. That number is significant in that the White Sox staff as a whole only had 8 quality starts all season before Cueto came aboard. On Wednesday, Lucas Giolito takes the mound for Chicago. Giolito has two quality starts in his six starts thus far this season. He has thrown 31.2 innings and allowed 28 hits and 10 earned runs this season. In his six starts, however, the White Sox are just 2-4 thus far on the season. In four career starts against Boston, Giolito is 0-1 while allowing 23 hits in 18 innings of work.

Red Sox look to keep rolling against White Sox
FLM
Tuesday's 16-run barrage against the Chicago White Sox gave the Boston Red Sox 95 runs in their past 13 games.
Boston scored 95 runs in the first 29 games of the season.
Winners of six straight, the Red Sox hope to keep their offense clicking Wednesday night as they face the host White Sox in the middle game of a three-game series.
"We're swinging good, man. ... We're playing a lot better," Boston's Christian Vazquez said.
A 16-3 rout Tuesday saw every Red Sox starter collect at least one hit and score a run, while all but one had an RBI.
Enrique Hernandez homered on the first pitch of the game as part of a four-home-run game for the Red Sox. Trevor Story delivered a three-run shot in the first inning, his sixth homer in the past five games.
Story has eight home runs and 28 RBIs this month after having no homers and five RBIs in April.
While leadoff hitter Tim Anderson continues to boost the Chicago attack, collecting his fifth successive multi-hit game Tuesday, the White Sox's offense took a hit before the game with the announcement that center fielder Luis Robert had landed on the COVID-19 injured list.
Chicago general manager Rick Hahn said Robert likely will miss the remainder of the series as well as the team's two-game weekend set against the Chicago Cubs.
White Sox manager Tony La Russa kidded that his first reaction to the news of Robert's impending absence was to jump into Lake Michigan.
"He's so much fun to watch if you're a baseball fan, and I am," La Russa said. "I really hope for us and our fans it's the quick one and we get him back in five or six days."
Robert leads the White Sox with six home runs, while his 17 RBIs are two shy of Anderson and Jose Abreu for the team lead.
Left-hander Rich Hill (1-1, 3.90 ERA) is set to get the call for Boston as he tries to rebound from Thursday's abbreviated start against Seattle. Hill exited after allowing four runs in the second inning of an eventual no-decision.
After Hill yielded five hits in the inning, including a three-run home run and two doubles, Red Sox manager Alex Cora wondered whether the veteran might be tipping his pitches.
"We're looking. We always look," Cora said. "It doesn't mean that if you get hit, you're tipping. But there's a few things we saw that we have to correct. Probably, he was doing it before when he was being successful. Just a few things that we noticed, and we just have got to make adjustments."
Hill is 0-2 with a 6.26 ERA in 18 career appearances against the White Sox, including four starts.
Right-hander Lucas Giolito (2-1, 2.84 ERA) will start for Chicago.
In his first outing since contending with COVID-19, Giolito last Wednesday took a no-decision against Kansas City after pitching five innings of two-run ball with seven strikeouts. He has struggled against the Red Sox in his career, going 0-1 with a 7.00 ERA in four starts covering 18 innings.

How the Red Sox got their groove back
By Rob Bradford
WEEI 93.7
5 hours ago
CHICAGO - The drudgery that came with riding out a 16-3 win over the White Sox - a 3-hour and 41-minute game that was, for all intent and purposes, over when Kiké Hernandez launched the first pitch of the game over the left field fence - could very have well tempered any sort of celebration.
Nope.
Even after all of it, the party wasn't going stop because of the wind and the cold and the length of game. That much became evident to anyone standing outside the visitors' clubhouse.
ADVERTISING
The rhythmic clapping echoed through the clubhouse doors, offering a hint of the enthusiasm that seems to be draped over this 20-22 team. Fifteen years before, in the very same dressing room, the 2007 Red Sox could be found spending a rain delay celebrating their existence by dancing while the Hideki Okajima-inspired song 'The Oki Dokie' blared.
That team felt pretty good about themselves. And now, so does this one.
"We know it’s a long season," said Red Sox manager Alex Cora after his team's 19-hit attack. "It’s 162-plus. That’s what we’re shooting for. Obviously, we had a lot of work to do to get to the point we’re at right now. They did an amazing job canceling the noise because it was loud. It was very loud. We understand the process. We understand that it’s 162, and that we have a good baseball team. We’re working very hard to get to the next step. We’re almost there, almost reset the season. We still believe we have a good team and we can compete with the big boys in this division and obviously the league. Just little steps – keep winning series, keep doing that, and the rest will take care of itself."
The perception of this team has done an about-face. That's what winning seven of the last eight games will do. That, along with a complete reversal of identity.
The Red Sox have gone from one of the two worst offensive teams in baseball to the absolute best over these last eight games, totaling a .974 OPS - 116 points higher than the next-best club. They have more extra-base hits than anyone. More total bases. And more runs.
There is the simple explanation that some key players - particularly Trevor Story (who homered for the sixth time in the last five games) - has started to play to the back of their baseball cards.
That's what most of the players inside the room will tell you.
"We talked about how we are playing like we’re capable of," Hernandez said. "Just keep the course, man. We’ve been playing better as of late, but at the same time, we haven’t even played 50 games yet, I don’t think. So, there’s a lot of baseball left, and I don’t think anybody is expecting us to be a team competing for last instead of competing for first. We’re just playing the baseball we’re capable of playing."
There's more to it, however. There usually always is.
The celebrations and good vibes have also been a product of attention to detail, as the coaches showed the hitters on a screen prior to the series-opening win.
"One of the things about coaching, sometimes we don't do a good job of showing them what really is going on. And I believe these type of players nowadays, They love that," Cora explained. "We showed them where we were a month ago – in the zone, chasing pitches, and slugging. We showed them today where we’re at. The progress is unreal. Guys are feeling better, right? I think it's more that than anything else because they're attacking us the same way. But we're doing a much better job. We're still swinging a lot. We like that. But the swing decisions are a lot better. The contact is elite right now."
"We’re always trying to communicate to the guys daily. We showed them a few things in terms of their progress and what has led to a lot of their progress," explained hitting coach Peter Fatse. "We showed them the progress and the things that were driving that."
And all of that was offered before the game, with the Red Sox flipping the script throughout the current month. In April, they were 19th in launch angle and 17th in the percentage of time a ball was barreled up. In May? The Sox own the third-best launch angle, while barreling up more balls than any team in baseball.
The reason, according to Fatse, isn't all that complicated.
"It's crazy because it seems so simple, buy it has been our production early in the count," he said. "When we dominate the strike zone early, we're really hard to pitch to."
It has all clicked, as was evident against the White Sox. And now it has left the Red Sox just two games away from reaching .500 and 2 1/2 games out of what would be a Wild Card spot.
It has always resulted in some really solid late-night dance parties.

Game 43: Red Sox at White Sox lineups and notesBy Andrew Mahoney Globe Staff,Updated May 25, 2022, 10:00 a.m. Make that six in a row for the Red Sox. After going 6-1 and winning the last five games of their recent homestand, the Red Sox continue to roll, pounding out a 16-3 win in Chicago over the White Sox Tuesday night.

At the end of the day, allPete is doing is describing a team that was in a slump, and then got hot. And that happens all the time. Houston was 11-11, and then reeled off 11 straight wins. The WS were 7-12, and then went 14-8. The WSC have a worse record than us. Past that, we are largely the same team we were last year. Plus Story, JBJ, Wacha & Hill Less Renfroe, Sale (so far), and the 2 months of Schwarber |
