The Boston Red Sox have maintained a strong performance despite facing several early-season injuries. Recently, they impressed against the league’s top team and look to secure a series victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. Despite missing key players, the Red Sox boast a 3-0 record against .500 teams, lead the league in starting pitcher ERA, and rank near the top in home runs. In Wednesday’s 8-0 triumph, Cooper Criswell pitched five strong innings, while the offense exploded with 16 hits, including two home runs from Connor Wong. Rafael Devers also went deep and narrowly missed hitting for the cycle. The Red Sox hope to continue their momentum against Triston McKenzie, Cleveland’s scheduled starter. McKenzie aims to improve his inconsistent start, having alternated between good and poor performances. Wednesday’s loss snapped the Guardians’ five-game winning streak, but they remain confident with Jose Ramirez, who has been a consistent force in the lineup.

Connor Wong and Rafael Devers homered to lead the Boston Red Sox to an 8-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, tying the three-game series. Wong hit a pair of solo shots while Devers also went deep and was a triple shy of the cycle. Cooper Criswell pitched five strong innings for the Red Sox, holding the Guardians to only four hits and no runs.

Connor Wong hit two home runs and Rafael Devers also homered in his return to Boston’s lineup, leading the Red Sox to a dominant 8-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night. Wong’s leadoff homers in the second and sixth innings off Carlos Carrasco ignited the Red Sox’s offense. Wilyer Abreu also contributed with four hits and an RBI, as Boston piled up 16 hits and cooled off the Guardians’ recent hot streak.

Carlos Carrasco’s second outing against the Boston Red Sox proved disappointing as the Guardians fell 8-0, ending their five-game winning streak. The Red Sox offense dominated, with Connor Wong hitting two home runs and Rafael Devers adding another to lead the onslaught. Despite a promising start to the season in his first outing against Boston, Carrasco struggled in this matchup, allowing five runs on nine hits in five innings. Boston’s Cooper Criswell impressed on the mound, throwing five scoreless innings and allowing just three hits, giving their bullpen a much-needed rest. Despite the disappointing result, the Guardians still lead the season series against the Red Sox 4-2 and will look to rebound in Thursday’s season finale.

The Boston Red Sox have placed starter Brayan Bello on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 21, due to a right lat strain. Bello, who tossed six shutout innings and struck out seven Friday night in Pittsburgh, was supposed to start Thursday’s series finale against the Cleveland Guardians. Instead, he’ll be out at least through May 7, which is the first day he can return from the IL. The Red Sox are now missing three-fifths of their starting rotation, with Bello joining Nick Pivetta (flexor strain) and Garrett Whitlock (oblique strain) on the injured list.

Rafael Devers has returned to the Red Sox lineup after missing nine of the team’s last 12 games due to nagging shoulder and knee issues. Devers will bat second as the designated hitter in Wednesday’s game against the Guardians, while Masataka Yoshida sits out for the third consecutive day. The Red Sox, who have lost four of five games to the Guardians this season, will also see Tyler O’Neill back in left field and Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu starting in the outfield. Righty Cooper Criswell will take the mound for Boston against veteran righty Carlos Carrasco of Cleveland.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Monday that right-hander Brayan Bello has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right lat tightness, retroactive to April 21. Right-hander Zack Kelly has been recalled in a corresponding move. Bello’s placement on the injured list is a significant blow to the Red Sox, as he was a key part of their rotation plans after signing a $55 million contract extension in March. Through his first five starts of the season, Bello had shown improvement with a 23.6% strikeout rate. However, with Bello now joining a growing list of injured Boston pitchers, the Red Sox will need to find a way to fill the void in their rotation.
