Red Sox @ Guardians
Tuesday, 6th June 2023
7pm @ The Prog
Paxton 1-1/4.26
Bieber 4-3/ 3.72
Guardians aim for improved offense against Red Sox
FLM
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan boasts an unremarkable track record, but the 25-year-old Colorado native may hold the key to the team's search for offensive consistency.
Brennan will look to continue his hot streak when the Guardians open a three-game series against the visiting Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Cleveland has won two straight, while Boston is beginning a six-game road trip after losing the final three in a four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays.
After batting .204 in April and struggling for most of May, Brennan is 11-for-21 (.524) in his past six games. He made his major league debut last year, appearing in 11 late-season games.
"I'm just growing up every single game up here," Brennan said. "You have to take a step back and look at what's going on. It's pretty awesome to see what you're doing every day. You're playing in the big leagues. Struggle comes along with that."
Cleveland also received a much-needed boost last week from first baseman Josh Naylor and second baseman Andres Gimenez, who were a combined 20-for-50 (.400) as the Guardians went 4-3 on a road trip to Baltimore and Minnesota last week.
Cleveland's biggest need is more production at the bottom of the order. Brennan could help address that issue with his continued development.
"This might sound dramatic," Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan said, "but he might be one of our best players once he gets going. He has contact, power, he can run and has a great arm. If he gets going, I think we can be in a really good position."
The Guardians are beginning a six-game homestand with the series against Boston, which is 30-30. The Red Sox have scored a total of five runs during their three-game skid.
"I don't want to sound pessimistic or negative, but we have to do it," Boston manager Alex Cora said. "We can talk all the talk. We can say that we're better than this and all that. But at the end, we have to be better. We have to go out there and perform."
The Red Sox will send left-hander James Paxton (1-1, 4.26 ERA) to the mound in the series opener. He allowed one run and struck out eight over five innings in a no-decision against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.
Paxton pitched a total of 21 2/3 innings over the previous three seasons due to a number of injuries. He has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his first four outings this season, logging 27 strikeouts in 19 innings.
"I really didn't know what to expect," Paxton said. "Coming back through the minor leagues, I think I was topping out at 96, 97 (mph with the fastball). But it's just not the same atmosphere as pitching in the big leagues. I'm just going out there and letting it rip and it's feeling good coming out."
Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez is 2-for-14 against Paxton, who is 1-3 with a 5.47 ERA in five career starts against the Guardians.
Cleveland will counter with right-hander Shane Bieber (4-3, 3.72 ERA), who allowed seven runs over four innings against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.
Bieber has gone 3-3 with a 5.50 ERA in six career games (five starts) vs. Boston. He yielded two runs over seven frames in a 5-2 road victory over the Red Sox on April 28.
Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is 3-for-13 (.231) against Bieber with two home runs.

Red Sox to promote lefty pitching prospect Chris Murphy from Worcester
Updated: Jun. 05, 2023, 10:49 p.m.|Published: Jun. 05, 2023, 8:52 p.m.

The Red Sox are promoting left-handed pitching prospect Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester, according to an industry source. To make room on the active roster, the club optioned righty Kaleb Ort back to the WooSox.
Murphy, who turned 25 today (Monday), will be active and available out of the bullpen when the Red Sox and Guardians open a three-game series at Progressive Field on Tuesday. The Red Sox need a starter for Thursday but they will see how the next two days play out before naming one. Murphy is a candidate.
James Paxton will pitch Tuesday’s series opener while Kutter Crawford is the leading candidate to pitch Wednesday in place of the injured Chris Sale. The Thursday spot is TBD; righty Garrett Whitlock will pitch Friday night in New York against the Yankees.
The Red Sox drafted the southpaw out of San Diego in the sixth round in 2019. They added him to the 40-man roster last November. Baseball America ranks him Boston’s No. 13 prospect. MLB Pipeline ranks him No. 14.
Murphy has a 4.36 ERA in 71 outings (67 starts) in his minor league career. But he has struggled with Worcester this season, posting a 7.71 ERA in 10 outings (nine starts). His last appearance came out of the bullpen. He went 3 scoreless innings June 1 at Louisville. He allowed just one hit while walking nobody and striking out three.
His fastball gets swings-and-misses because it has good carry and plays up in the zone. He also has above-average spin rate, which helped him to strike out 23% of the batters he faced last year and 30.2% in 2021.
He worked to add velocity to his cutter in the offseason, which he spent much of in Northern California. He trained at a couple of different places, including the University of California, Berkeley, and Driveline Baseball.
“His velo continues to kind of tick up,” Red Sox director of player development Brian Abraham said back in February. “A four-seam fastball that gets swings and misses up in the strike zone. Good changeup. Mixes in a curveball as well. Just someone with really good pitchability. A guy who can work both sides of the plate.”
When Murphy pitches, he will be the third member of the Red Sox to make his major league debut in 2023, joining outfielder Masataka Yoshida and second baseman Enmanuel Valdez.
Ort, 31, owns a 5.87 ERA in 15 ⅓ innings (14 outings) with the Sox this year and a 2.45 ERA in eight appearances for the WooSox. He pitched well against the Rays over the last two days, striking out three in two perfect innings Sunday before tossing a scoreless ninth inning in Monday’s loss.

At .500 and tough trip looming, Red Sox season at inflection point | McAdam
Updated: Jun. 05, 2023, 8:22 p.m.|Published: Jun. 05, 2023, 8:11 p.m.

BOSTON - Nearly four months and more than 100 games remain in the 2023 season, but as the Red Sox embark on a six-game road trip to Cleveland and New York this week, there’s a sense that the season could well be hanging in the balance.
Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays - the club’s 10th in their last 14 games - dropped the Sox to the .500 mark for the first time since April 29.
The homestand was a disappointing one (2-5) and left them with a 4-9 mark in their last 13 games at Fenway. And now, they head out to face two playoff teams from a year ago, just as their fundamental play has worsened and their bats have cooled, having scored two runs or fewer in seven of their last 13 games.
All of which was enough for the team to hold a pre-game meeting in which players spoke about the need for additional urgency and a cleaner brand of baseball.

Following Monday’s loss - the seventh in eight head-to-head meetings with the Rays this season - multiple players declined to address what was said in the pre-game get-together, maintaining that the discussions weren’t meant for public disclosure.
Publicly, the Red Sox insisted the current downturn was no reason to panic.
“There’s still a lot of baseball to play,” said Rafael Devers, who had two of the team’s mere six hits in Monday’s loss. “We know how baseball is. There’s always ups and downs and we know that we’re capable of winning games and that’s one of the things that we’re going to focus on in these next few weeks.”
Still, it’s noteworthy to consider that this is the second such pre-game meeting the Sox have held in recent weeks. Alex Verdugo called one on the last homestand in an effort to jump-start the team. For a time, it seemed to work when the Sox snapped a four-game losing streak by winning their final two games before taking the first two games of their West Coast trip in San Diego.
But the bump was short-lived when the Sox lost the next five in a row, and not even a return home could get them pointed in the right direction.
Some of the reasons are obvious. Beyond the offensive cliff dive the hitters have taken - The Red Sox had just three at-bats with runners in scoring position Monday and failed to collect a hit - there’s also their brutal fundamental lapses of late
While Monday’s loss wasn’t nearly as sloppy as Sunday’s dreadful exhibition - and in fact, included two homer-robbing catches by Verdugo and Kiké Hernández - it was not without incident when it came to fundamentals. In the three-run fifth for the Rays, left fielder Rob Refsnyder threw to the plate with no chance of gunning down Luke Raley, enabling Manuel Margot to advance from first to second and set the stage for a big inning.
Justin Turner, who has quickly assumed a leadership role among his new teammates, maintained that the Red Sox aren’t playing with the proper confidence level.
“I just believe that we have a good club in here,” said Turner, “and the sooner we get everyone believing that we’re a good team and we can go out and win and compete every single night, that’s going to give us our best chance.”
Cora, too, sought to downplay the nature of the meeting, insisting that such an occasion is barely noteworthy and adding the team communicates on a regular basis.
“Just a talk, just talk to the guys like we usually do,” said Cora. “We just want to make sure we’re doing the right things and preparing the right way and just keep grinding...We have to keep going, that’s the bottom line. We’re playing .500 right now. We know what we have to do.
“Are we great? No. Are we bad? No. This is where we’re at. When the season started a while ago, we were 0-0 and now we’re 30-30. Sixty games under our belt, and we still have plenty of them.”
Cora chalked up the offensive slump to facing good pitching and the inability to deliver the big hit. He pronounced himself relatively satisfied with the pitching and baserunning, while noting the defense still needs considerable improvement.
“If we clean that up, we’re going to start winning a lot of games,” he theorized.
Perhaps. But if so, now would seem like a good time to start.

Injuries & Moves: Story ramping up for return
June 5th, 2023
LATEST NEWS
June 5: SS Trevor Story ramping up, could return as DH first
Story, who is recovering from an internal bracing procedure on his right elbow, is making good progress in Fort Myers, Fla. Manager Alex Cora said that Story is throwing out to 105 feet and taking batting practice in the cage and on the field. He is also tracking pitches on the Trajekt machine. Story will fly back to Boston during the next homestand to check in with the team. Cora was asked if Story could be back on the roster before he is able to play defense and didn't rule it out.
"We’ll talk about that next week. It’s just the [construction of the] roster, too," said Cora. "I’m not saying no. We always leave the door open for stuff like that. But we also have to be very smart with the roster we have.”
June 5: INF Christian Arroyo reinstated; OF Raimel Tapia designated for assignment
Arroyo was reinstated off the 10-day injured list after recovering from a right hamstring strain. In six rehab games with Triple-A Worcester, Arroyo went 5-for-23 with one RBI. The right-handed hitter is batting .257 with 12 runs scored and 11 RBIs in 27 games for Boston this season.
Tapia, who was signed to a Minor League deal in the offseason, batted .264 with one homer and 10 RBIs in 39 games this year for Boston before being designated for assignment.

The Red Sox are keeping faith in Jarren Duran. Can he hold up his end of the bargain?
By Varun Shankar Globe Correspondent,Updated June 5, 2023, 9:12 p.m.
The Red Sox’ roster moves Monday — designating outfielder Raimel Tapia for assignment with Christian Arroyo coming off the injured list — sent a simple yet direct message to Jarren Duran: “We trust you.”
Even though Duran has a pair of options left and wouldn’t have been subject to waivers like Tapia, the Sox chose to keep the 26-year-old center fielder.
“Where the game is going, he fits the mold, right?” manager Alex Cora said Monday. “Fast, dynamic, that’s something we cannot hide.”
The choice reiterates that the team sees Duran as a key part of their present and future despite a recent offensive downturn and potential competition returning from injury.
“It’s always a confidence booster when your team has trust in you and they’re putting their faith in you,” he said.
Duran didn’t start during the 4-1 loss against Rays lefty Shane McClanahan. In his place was Kiké Hernández, who robbed a home run in the second inning and will continue to start there against lefthanders with the Sox’ current roster, Cora said.
Despite that, Cora emphasized that Duran would not become a part-time player, saying that he was too valuable to the team and that the Sox would find time for him to play regularly.
Cora pinch hit Duran in the seventh inning with righthander Calvin Faucher in for McClanahan and kept him in center field. Duran went 0 for 2.
His bat has lagged after a scorching start. He was called up in mid-April and hit .366/.413/.606 in his first 20 games. But his numbers nosedived in the 22 games since, a span in which he batted .203 with a .559 OPS.
“Sometimes I lose sight of doing the little things,” Duran said. “I’m like, ‘Oh, I have to get a hit for the team instead of just putting together a quality at bat which helps the next guy.’”
The struggles can be explained in part by Duran’s ground ball percentage, which increased by over 18 percentage points in the 22-game skid. He’s paired that with a significant drop in his batting average on balls in play and a sharp increase in his strikeout rate — from 25 percent in his first 20 games to 34.9 percent in the 22 games before Monday.
Duran ended Monday’s game with a punchout against Tampa Bay’s Jason Adam. The at-bat went quickly: Adam threw three changeups that earned three swings and misses.
Rob Refsnyder, whom Duran called one of his closest friends, talked to him about that last at-bat postgame. It was a conversation that put things in perspective for Duran; Refsnyder told him the pitcher he faced has one of the best changeups in the game.
“All those pitches were starting up and they were finishing below the zone,” Duran said. “They were good pitches, just got to tip your cap sometimes.”
Teammate Triston Casas told his fellow young lefthander to focus on putting the ball in play more by being short to the ball and efficient with his swing.
“I try to tell him that he’s blessed with the tool of speed, something that I don’t necessarily have,” Casas said. “[The contact-based approach] is going to produce a lot of hits … it’s going to put him in a good position to get on base and keep the line moving just with how well he runs.”
Duran’s speed, hot start, and defensive improvement are among the reasons he’s maintained a positive WAR — he’s fourth on the Sox among position players, according to FanGraphs, entering Monday — even with the batting struggles.
After finishing with a minus-2 outs above average last season, a mark that tied for fourth-worst among qualified MLB center fielders, Duran is already a plus-2 in that metric this year.
He’s also been solid on the base paths, leading the Sox with seven stolen bases and ranking as the only representative from the team in the top 50 of FanGraphs’ all-encompassing baserunning metric.
“We like his defense, he’s been a lot better, and obviously we love the way he runs the bases,” Cora said.
Duran could move into a platoon role as he navigates what’s becoming a crowded outfield. Adam Duvall, who is targeting a Friday activation from the injured list, may also take at-bats away from him.
The Sox could potentially have six outfielders with Duran, Alex Verdugo, and Masataka Yoshida batting from the left side and Hernández, Duvall, and Refsnyder from the right.
Duran remained unfazed by the potential logjam, saying he just has to keep working in the team’s facility.
“Just try and stay in rhythm and be ready whenever they need me,” he said.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK
After rough weekend, Red Sox hold team meeting to recalibrate: ‘It was just to get back to who we are’
By Alex Speier Globe Staff,Updated June 5, 2023, 10:44 p.m.
One day after the Red Sox endured an embarrassing loss, members of the club had a meeting on Monday morning at Fenway Park to try to reset and refocus at a time when the team is in last place in the AL East.
“It was just to get back to who we are,” said closer Kenley Jansen, before the Sox dropped the series finale to the first-place Rays, 4-1, to fall back to .500 at 30-30. “It’s a long season and everybody believes in this team, but it’s just a moment to get back to who we are, find ourselves, what we’re capable to do, come here, and give us the best. It’s refreshing. We’ve got 102 more games after this one. What can we do the best in those to get to where we want to get, which is the postseason? We want to play in October. Everybody here wants to play in October. We’ve got a team to do it.
“It can be challenging sometimes, but you don’t want to shrink during your challenging moments.”
Jansen said the meeting featured a number of voices, both players and staff members. He said there were similarities between this meeting and one he experienced a year ago, when Atlanta manager Brian Snitker called a June 1 gathering when the reigning champions were mired in a 23-27 malaise.
“We ended up winning [101] games,” said Jansen. “Sometimes you need one of these just to remind yourself who you are. You can get lost sometimes just with how long the season is.
“I think we all needed it. I needed it. It’s a good refreshing thing for us to keep reminding ourselves who we are. The record doesn’t define who we are. We’ve just got to continue to bring it every day and tighten it up a little bit more, and we’ll be good.”
Manager Alex Cora said the team had moved on from Sunday’s loss against the Rays, which was highlighted by a series of misplays that allowed Yandy Díaz to race around the bases on a single. While acknowledging that the defeat was one of the more frustrating of the year, Cora said the team had compartmentalized the disappointment.
“Today’s a new day, man,” said Cora. “After the game, we [had] family day. We saw the kids running around. We’ve got a family trip,” explaining that the team’s families will travel along to Cleveland and New York.
“You put everything in perspective and you turn the page on that one and you keep getting better,” Cora added. “That’s been the message since day one.
“There’s going to be good days, there are going to be bad days, and there’s going to be plays like that. It’s part of the equation and sometimes you take it harder than other days.
“But we talked about the play today, we talked about the play with certain guys, and we showed them and hopefully it doesn’t happen again. And that’s the goal, just to keep getting better.”
The meeting was at least the second of the season for the Red Sox. Alex Verdugo called a players-only meeting in mid-May. As was the case then, the team focused on controlling its effort level and intensity.
“I believe in this team. We all believe in this team,” said Jansen. “We’ve just got to be capable of going out there and doing it, bringing it every single night.”
Raimel loses roster spot
The Red Sox activated infielder Christian Arroyo and immediately slotted him into the lineup against lefthander Shane McClanahan. To clear a roster spot, the team designated outfielder Raimel Tapia for assignment.
Arroyo entered Monday hitting .257/.295/.365 in 27 games. He’d gotten particularly hot (.500/.556/.813) in the six games before he landed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain.
Cora acknowledged that the decision to designate Tapia was “a tough one,” particularly given that the 29-year-old had performed well (.264/.333/.368). But he said the Sox are committed to giving Jarren Duran playing time, and with Adam Duvall (left wrist fracture) slated to return from the injured list Friday, Tapia got squeezed out in favor of fellow lefthanded hitter Duran.
“He played so well for us, but [the decision] was trusting Jarren, keep him around,” Cora said.
Hernández in center
Kiké Hernández, whose 13 errors at shortstop are the most in the majors, started in center field, an alignment Cora said he plans to continue using against lefties. Hernández’s role against righties will be matchup-based, with the Sox planning on more fully employing his versatility.
“That’s where Kiké becomes very valuable,” said Cora. “This is what he’s been doing his whole career. He can play second, he can play center.”
In the second inning, Hernández offered a reminder of his luminous center-field defense, robbing a two-run homer with a leaping grab in the triangle, next to the Sox bullpen. He added a sliding grab in the sixth.
Hernandez moved to shortstop in the eighth inning, with Duran taking over in center.
Duvall closes in
Duvall was in the clubhouse after playing five of six games — including back-to-back-to-back days in the outfield over the weekend — for Triple A Worcester on a rehab assignment. He felt like he regained his timing against fastballs while also regaining his running legs.
On Tuesday, Duvall will rejoin the WooSox at Polar Park in advance of Friday’s anticipated activation in New York ahead of the Yankees series.
“It feels like it’s been a while,” he said. “I’m excited to get back out there and compete.”
The returns of the righthanded-hitting Arroyo and Duvall, Cora hopes, will provide better left/right balance than the Sox have had for much of the last month, when lefties Verdugo, Rafael Devers, Masataka Yoshida, Triston Casas, and Duran were often stacked in five of the top six lineup spots.
“[Balance] is something we’ve been missing, and now we’ve got that extra righthanded bat, and with Duvey coming back, that’s going to create balance,” said Cora.
Story ramps up
Trevor Story is throwing at 105 feet in Fort Myers, Fla., taking part in fielding drills, taking batting practice inside a cage, and tracking (but not swinging at) major league-quality pitch arsenals off the team’s Trajekt machine. He’ll rejoin the Sox in Boston following the six-game road trip.
In his recovery from a January internal bracing procedure in his elbow, Story’s hitting progression is expected to advance more quickly than his throwing. Cora didn’t rule out the idea of bringing back Story as a DH while he continues to work up to playing shortstop, but also offered a measured view of the possibility.
“We’ll talk about that next week,” said Cora. “I’m not saying no — we always leave the door open for stuff like that — but we also have to be very smart with the roster we have.”
Infielder Yu Chang (hand) is expected to restart a rehab assignment Tuesday with Worcester.
Murphy on way up
According to multiple sources, the Red Sox are calling up lefthander Chris Murphy (1-3, 7.71 ERA) from Worcester to join the team Tuesday in Cleveland. Murphy has made nine starts and one relief appearance in Triple A.
James Paxton will start the three-game Guardians series, with the starters to be determined for Wednesday (likely Kutter Crawford) and Thursday. Garrett Whitlock will start the series opener Friday in New York against the Yankees.

The #RedSox will add LHP Chris Murphy today and option RHP Kaleb Ort.
Murphy was already on the 40-man roster, which is at 39.
No other moves today.
Bullpen coach Kevin Walker will be away from the team from Wednesday to Friday for a family matter. Paul Abbott is up from AAA to fill in.
Abbott pitched for Cleveland in 1993, so clearly a wise choice.
Chris Murphy has No. 72, which Garrett Whitlock had the last two years.
