Sale was recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-chris-sale-start-injury-il" rel="noopener">placed on the 15-day IL</a> with shoulder inflammation. The left-hander received another unfortunate injury update on Friday, as it was reported the Red Sox <a href="https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1667256823332868101" rel="noopener">transferred</a> Sale to the 60-day IL, per Bob Nightengale.</p><p>The Red Sox understood Sale could be out for a long time. He’s consistently dealt with injury concerns over the years, but Boston was previously unsure of his exact timetable. Given this move though, the earliest Sale can return would be in August.</p><p>The Red Sox will have a difficult decision to make in August. If Sale is healthy once he’s eligible to return from the IL, the Red Sox will ease him back into game-action. However, one has to wonder if we will even see Sale pitch again in 2023 if the Red Sox are out of contention. Boston may opt for him to focus on 2024 if the team doesn’t have a chance at the playoffs.</p><p>If the Sox are contending though, then they will likely try to bring Chris Sale back if possible. He’s still a very talented pitcher who could make a pivotal difference during a stretch run.</p><p>For now, all we know is that Sale will be out until August with his injury. The Red Sox are currently in last place in the AL East, sitting 14 games behind the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays.

We are in the Bronx, sharing our MLB odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a>, making a Red Sox-Yankees prediction and pick while showing you how to watch.</p><p>The Red Sox come into this series having lost two of three to the Cleveland Guardians on the road. Now, they continue this road trip by heading to the Bronx to play their oldest rival. The Sox are 1-5 over six games. Unfortunately, one bad inning cost them the game on Thursday and ultimately, the series.</p><p>The Yankees just lost two of three games at home to the Chicago White Sox. Sadly, they dealt with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-news-final-decisions-white-sox-yankees-tigers-phillies-amid-poor-air-quality" rel="noopener">postponed game due to bad air quality</a>. It forced them to make up the game on Thursday. Eventually, the Yanks lost the first game 6-5 and then won the second game 3-0.</p><p>The Red Sox come into this game with a record of 31-32 and are last in the American League East. Also, they are 15-16 on the road. The Yankees are 37-27 coming into this game and sit third in the AL East. Additionally, they are 20-15 at Yankees Stadium.</p><p>It will be the first meeting of the season between the two old rivals. Significantly, they will play only 14 times under the new scheduling arrangements. The Yanks went 13-6 against the Red Sox last season.</p><p>Garrett Whitlock will come into this start with a 2-2 record and a 5.61 ERA. Recently, he went 4 2/3 innings while allowing four earned runs, six hits, five strikeouts, and two walks in a loss against the Rays. Gerrit Cole starts for the Yankees and comes into this game with a 7-0 record with a 2.82 ERA. Additionally, he went six innings in his last start while allowing one earned run with five strikeouts, and two walks in a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Red Sox-Yankees <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Red Sox-Yankees Odds</b></h2><p>Boston Red Sox: +1.5 (-146)</p><p>New York Yankees: -1.5 (+122)</p><p>Over: 8 (-110)</p><p>Under: 8 (-110)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Red Sox vs. Yankees</b></h2><p>TV: YES, MLBN</p><p>Stream: MLB</p><p>Time: 7:05 PM ET/4:05 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Red Sox Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Red Sox are not a great team this season. However, they still have the bats that can do damage, especially at a stadium as small as this one. Justin Turner is batting .260 with seven home runs, 26 RBIs, and 33 runs. Meanwhile, Masataka Yoshida is hitting .318 with seven home runs, 33 RBIs, and 34 runs. Rafael Devers is batting .246 with 13 home runs, 50 RBIs, and 31 runs. Likewise, Alex Verdugo is hitting .286 with five home runs, 24 RBIs, and 42 runs.</p><p>These players lead a Red Sox team that is eighth in batting average, fifth in on-base percentage, fourth in runs, 19th in home runs, and eighth in slugging percentage. Now, they look to batter the baseball at Yankees Stadium.</p><p>Whitlock may need a good outing. Unfortunately, the bullpen has a 4.07 ERA, which is 19th in the majors. They must contend with the tough bats they will face in the Bronx today.</p><p>The Red Sox will cover the spread if they can get to Cole early. Then, their pitching must avoid surrendering the long ball.</p><h2><b>Why The Yankees Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>The Yankees are  struggling for offense. Unfortunately, they cannot stay healthy. Aaron Judge is batting .291 with 19 home runs, 40 RBIs, and 42 runs. Unfortunately, he is out with an injury and will not play in this series. Giancarlo Stanton just came back from a weeks-long injury. Significantly, he is batting .254 with five home runs, 12 RBIs, and nine runs. But he is 2 for 14 since returning. Meanwhile, Gleyber Torres is batting .253 with nine home runs, 25 RBIs, and 37 runs. Anthony Rizzo is hitting .289 with 11 home runs, 32 RBIs, and 32 runs. Ultimately, this offense is 23rd in batting average, 26th in on-base percentage, 12th in runs, fourth in home runs, and 10th in slugging percentage.</p><p>The Yankees have one of the best starting pitchers in baseball. Additionally, they have the best bullpen in baseball. Their bullpen has a 2.81 ERA and has helped keep the Yanks afloat.</p><p>The Yankees will cover the spread if Cole has a dominant game. Then, they need to give him some run support.</p><h2><b>Final Red Sox-Yankees Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Cole has not lost yet. Likewise, Whitlock is not great. Expect the Yanks to tee off on Whitlock and for Cole to dominate again. Therefore, the Yankees will take the first game of this rivalry.</p><p><b>Final Red Sox-Yankees Prediction &amp; Pick: New York Yankees: -1.5 (+122)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He surrendered three runs in four innings pitched in a 10-3 road loss to the Cleveland Guardians Thursday.</p><p>The journeyman left-hander was bound to be demoted, regardless of public backlash, with outfielder Adam Duvall likely to return this weekend.

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-boston-breaks-silence-now-deleted-homophobic-tweet-matt-dermody" rel="noopener">club later addressed it</a> and spoke to him directly.

A lot of people think that I’m against a certain group of people or what not. But I’m for everybody making it to Heaven. That’s my goal as a Christian and as a teammate and as a family member, a dad.”<br></p><p>Many people will surely take issue with Dermody’s explanation. Regardless of if he ever returns to the MLB roster, this will not go away. If he remained in the rotation, his <a href="https://twitter.com/PeteAbe/status/1666897898129219604" rel="noopener">next projected start</a> would have come on the Red Sox’ Pride Night, as noted by Boston Globe’s Pete Abraham.</p><p>The Sox will look to move forward, as they head into a weekend series with the New York Yankees.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Red Sox dropped consecutive series to the Reds and Rays over the last week but put themselves in a position to win this series thanks to a 5-4 win in the opener. Although Boston boasts the fifth-highest-scoring offense in the league, they’ve managed just seven runs through the series’ first two games. Considering they average 5.05 runs per game, they’ll likely need to pick up their offensive effort if the Red Sox want to cover as road underdogs tonight.</p><p>Lefty Matt Dermody (0-0) makes his first career start for the Red Sox tonight. The 32-year-old has only pitched two innings since 2017 – both in relief. That 2017 season was his only prolonged stay in the majors. In 23 appearances with the Blue Jays, Dermody held a 2-0 record to go along with a 4.43 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 22.1 innings pitched. He signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox this offseason and has spent the season in their Triple-A rotation. There he made eight starts – compiling 47 strikeouts, a 4.50 ERA, and a 1.34 WHIP in 44 innings pitched. Dermody doesn’t have much big-league experience but gets a soft matchup against Cleveland’s bottom-of-the-barrel offense.</p><p>While they’ve been held in check thus far, the Red Sox feature an incredibly explosive offense. They rank eighth in OPS, fifth in extra-base hit rate, and eighth in BABIP while striking out at the sixth-lowest rate in the league. Rookie Masataka Yoshida has been a catalyst all season long – leading the team with a .318 batting average and ranking second with 105 total bases. He’s been especially hot of late – batting .321 over the last week while collecting hits in nine of his last 11 games.</p><h2><b>Why The Guardians Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p><i><b>Last 10: 6-4 (Second in the AL Central)</b></i></p><p><i><b>Run Line Record: 29-32 (48%)</b></i></p><p><i><b>Over Record: 21-38-2 (36%)</b></i></p><p>Cleveland has slowly righted the ship after a slow start to the season. They picked up back-to-back series wins over the Cardinals and Orioles to close out May before splitting a road series with the first-place Twins. Although they dropped the opener against Boston, Cleveland responded with a 5-2 win in yesterday’s Game 2. While the Guardians don’t feature strong offensive numbers, they’ve picked things up on that end of late. Consequently, they’ll need to continue their improvement at the plate if they want to cover as home favorites tonight.</p><p>Righty Aaron Civale (1-1) makes his fourth start of the season for the Guardians tonight. The 27-year-old hasn’t quite lived up to the promise he showed during his debut 2019 season but is off to a strong start this year. He got off to a strong start with a shutout but was injured in his second outing and missed nearly two months. Civale returned last week against the Twins – throwing five shutout innings while walking two and striking out four. Despite a tough matchup against Boston’s fifth-ranked offense, Civale has pitched well this season and has a strong track record at home. He finished with a 3.80 ERA in nine home starts last season compared to a 5.88 road ERA.</p><p>Cleveland’s struggled mightily on offense this season despite striking out at the lowest rate in the league. That said, first baseman Josh Naylor has been heating up after he hit .293 in 23 May appearances. The 25-year-old had high expectations coming into the year but struggled over the first month. He’s really picked things up of late – batting .444 while collecting 11 total bases over their last five games. Along with outfielder Will Brennan (.1145 OPS over his last six games), the Guardians’ offense could pose a sneaky threat to Boston tonight.</p><h2><b>Final Red Sox-Guardians Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>Cleveland has been heating up of late and they should get just enough offense to cover matched up with a 32-year-old making his first career start.</p><p><b>Final Red Sox-Guardians Prediction &amp; Pick: Cleveland Guardians -1.5 (+134)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He knows he made a mistake tweeting that. That’s why he took it down. Obviously, that doesn’t mean that we endorse anything he said or anything he believes.

Previously, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Sport Management, and for awhile I ran my own sports website. Sports are my passion, and I thoroughly enjoy writing about my thoughts and opinions that are related to the game. I have been a lifelong fan of the major professional teams in Boston, and love discussing all topics surrounding those teams.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Through 62 games on the season, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-boston-calls-up-prospect-chris-murphy" rel="noopener">Boston Red Sox</a> have found themselves with a .500 record at 31-31, which is likely where many folks would expect them to be. If they didn’t play in the American League East, maybe they could be a fringe playoff team, but it’s looking like their hot stretch in early-to-mid May was simply a flash in the plan.</p><p>The Sox overcame some of their more notable deficiencies to look like a potential wild card threat earlier in the season, but what goes up must come down. Boston’s lineup has cooled off considerably, and their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/beantown-rundown-chris-sales-injury-problems-pop-up-worst-possible-time-red-sox" rel="noopener">pitching staff</a>, which has had its moments, hasn’t been nearly consistent enough to pick up the slack.</p><p>However, the team’s biggest problem might actually be an area of the game many folks tend to overlook; their fielding. The Sox are once again one of the worst fielding teams in the entire league, but this time it’s worse. Boston’s inability to play defense is beginning to cost them wins, and it’s something that is going to take a collective effort to change if they want it to stop becoming a talking point.</p><h2><b>The Red Sox cannot continue to field like they have so far this season</b></h2><p>For the most part, defense in the MLB isn’t a massive topic of discussion, because if you have a chance to make a play in the field, there is an extremely high chance you will do so. Fielding percentages typically fall in the 99.5-98.5 percent range, showing that, if the ball comes your way, you are almost always going to make the right play.</p><p>In Boston, though, that guarantee doesn’t really exist. Even the most simple plays with this team are made to look incredibly difficult, and it feels like only a matter of time until someone inevitably makes a mistake. Three such mistakes were made in the Sox latest loss to the Cleveland Guardians, which led to a big unearned run early in the game in a close 5-2 loss.</p><p>On the season, the Sox have a team fielding percentage of 98 percent. That seems good right? Wrong. That puts them as the second-worst fielding team in the entire league, with only the San Francisco Giants sitting miniscule percentage points behind them. The 43 errors Boston has made as a team are also the second-worst total in the league.</p><p>It’s not as if this is one person outshining the rest of the team with his poor defensive play; this is a collective team-wide struggle. Eight players have already committed at least two errors this season, and again, we aren’t even halfway through the season. This is painfully bad stuff we are seeing from Boston in the field.</p><p>Individually speaking, there are quite a few players who are contributing to this mess. Enrique Hernandez is easily the biggest culprit, as he’s already committed a mind-boggling 13 errors on the season, most of any player in the majors. Hernandez’s switch to shortstop with Trevor Story out was extremely short-sighted, and well, it’s come back to bite the team pretty badly to this point.</p><p>Hernandez is the worst, but he isn’t alone here. Rafael Devers and Emmanuel Valdez both committed their sixth errors of the season on Wednesday night, with Devers fielding woes continuing, and Valdez somehow racking up that total in just 31 games of action. Connor Wong has also somehow committed five errors behind the plate, and Triston Casas has added three errors at first base as well.</p><p>This was a problem the Sox were aware could pop up before the season even started, and once again, the front office failed to react. Boston was not built to be a World Series contender, but this is just another bad look for the front office. Everyone saw this issue on paper entering the season, but there’s been virtually nothing done to combat it.</p><p>Fielding should never be something that pops up as a serious topic of discussion at this point in the season, but here we are. The Sox have been playing some of the worst defense seen in the majors all season long (e.g. Yandy Diaz’s <a href="https://www.mlb.com/video/corey-kluber-in-play-run-s-to-yandy-diaz" rel="noopener">little-league home run</a>), and it’s becoming laughably bad. How does a play like that even happen in the MLB?</p><p>It’s clear that Boston’s fielding woes have been a cause for concern for a while now, but it’s literally costing them games now. How long will this have to go on before sweeping changes are made? The Sox have been playing with fire in the field for quite some time now, but at some point, things need to change, and that point is quickly approaching in Boston.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Masataka Yoshida led the Red Sox with three hits and a run scored. Triston Casas had a two-hit night while Enrique Hernandez picked up two RBI. James Paxton had one of his best starts of the season Tuesday night. He went seven innings, allowed two runs on six hits and struck out nine.

On the season, Crawford has a 3.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 33 strikeouts to six walks in 33 2/3 innings pitched. Crawford does a great job limiting the hard contact and high exit velocities this season. He is also in the 99th percentile in chase rate. His pitches are sharp, his delivery is funky and he gets a lot of people to chase off the plate. The Guardians have the second highest chase rate in the MLB, so Crawford is going to generate a lot more chases in this game. Cleveland does not swing and miss a lot, but if they chase off the plate, the contact will not be solid.</p><p>The Red Sox hit .262 as a team, so they can swing it a little bit. Crawford will need some run support in this game, so the offense needs to get hot. If they can put up five or six runs, the Red Sox will be in a perfect position to cover this spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Guardians Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Cleveland is starting their rookie and he is having a pretty good debut season. Bibee has a 3.20 ERA through seven starts and a 1.12 WHIP. In 39 1/3 innings pitched, Bibee has 40 strikeouts to just 10 walks. The Red Sox are a pretty good hitting team, so Bibee needs to on the top of his game Wednesday night. If he can come out and toss six or seven strong innings, the Guardians will be able to cover this spread.</p><h2><b>Final Red Sox-Guardians Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Guardians are just 2-5 when Bibee pitches this season. Although he throws well, the Guardians do not give him much support. Do not expect much to change in this game. If the Red Sox can jump out to an early lead, they will cover this spread, especially as underdogs.</p><p><b>Final Red Sox-Guardians Prediction &amp; Pick: Red Sox +1.5 (-178), Over 7.5 (-118)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cleveland’s pitching staff walked 11 in 26 1/3 innings and struck out only 19, so the pitching will need to perform better this go around.</p><p>James Paxton and Shane Bieber will be the starting pitchers in this game.</p><p><b><i>Here are the Red Sox-Guardians <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener">MLB odds</a>, </i></b><b><i>courtesy of FanDuel.</i></b><b><i> </i></b></p><h2><b>MLB Odds: Red Sox-Guardians Odds</b></h2><p>Boston Red Sox: -1.5 (+164)</p><p>Cleveland Guardians: +1.5 (-200)</p><p>Over: 7.5 (-106)</p><p>Under: 7.5 (-114)</p><h2><b>How To Watch Red Sox vs. Guardians</b></h2><p>TV: NESN, Bally Sports Great Lakes</p><p>Stream: MLB TV Subscription</p><p>Time: 7:10 PM ET/4:10 PM PT</p><p><i><b>*Watch MLB games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/mlb/?irad=377812&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(click for a free trial)*</a></b></i></p><h2><b>Why The Red Sox Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>James Paxton has been good this season. He has one bad start that is inflating his stats because he only has four starts on the season. Taking out his bad start, Paxton has 16 innings pitched, 13 hits allowed, 22 strikeouts to four walks and an ERA of 2.25. He bounced back nicely after the bad start, which is good for the Red Sox to see, as well. If he can be the good James Paxton in this game, the Red Sox will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Why The Guardians Could Cover The Spread</b></h2><p>Bieber already has a start against the Red Sox in the season. He was very good in that start. Bieber threw seven innings, allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four in the Guardians only win of the series. Bieber is coming off a rough start against Baltimore, but other than that he pitched pretty well in May. Before that start against Baltimore, Bieber had a 3.04 ERA on the season, so the pitching ability is still there, despite the strikeout numbers being down. If he can have a repeat performance against the Red Sox and carry over a solid May into June, the Guardians will cover the spread.</p><h2><b>Final Red Sox-Guardians Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This game has the possibility of being pretty low scoring. The pitching matchup is good, even though the numbers may not show it. Both of these pitchers are capable of going six shutout innings. However, Paxton has only one start with more than five innings pitched this season. Roll with the Guardians to cover this spread as the underdogs.</p><p><b>Final Red Sox-Guardians Prediction &amp; Pick: Guardians +1.5 (-200), Under 7.5 (-114)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While Boston knows it’ll take more than one player to turn their season around, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-christian-arroyo-raimel-tapia" rel="noopener">Red Sox are giving one of</a> their top prospects an opportunity to make a difference.</p><p>The Red Sox <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/1665888007533088778" rel="noopener">have called up</a> left-handed pitcher Chris Murphy, via Chris Cotillo of MassLive. He will be available out of Boston’s bullpen on Tuesday. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-early-2023-mlb-trade-deadline-targets" rel="noopener">Red Sox will then discuss</a> Murphy’s future – and whether he receives a major league start – as the week goes on.</p><p>Murphy was a sixth-round pick by Boston back in 2019. By 2022 he had already made the jump to the AAA level. Overall, Murphy has appeared in 71 minor league games, starting 67 of them. The lefty holds a 16-20 record with a 4.36 ERA and a 353/140 K/BB ratio.</p><p>His call up comes at a peculiar time for Murphy and the Red Sox. Murphy has struggled immensely at AAA this season, holding a 7.71 ERA. However, he does have an impressive 42 strikeouts over his 39.2 innings pitch. Despite almost allowing a run for every inning pitched, Boston felt it was time for Murphy to come to the majors.</p><p>He’ll work out of the bullpen initially, which has been one of the team’s few strengths. Boston’s bullpen ranks 11th in the league with a 3.83 ERA. Still, with Chris Sale getting injured, the team’s rotation could use some help as well.</p><p>At 30-30 and 12 games back in the AL East, the Red Sox need improvements all over their roster. Chris Murphy is not an immediate fix, especially with his AAA struggles. However, he is Boston’s <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/redsox/chris-murphy-669684" rel="noopener">14th-best prospect</a>, via MLB Pipeline. The Red Sox are ready to see what they have in Murphy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
