Romy González delivered an RBI double, scoring Kristian Campbell as the Boston Red Sox took a 3-0 lead over the New York Yankees

BOSTON — For weeks, the Red Sox have remained somewhat cagey when it comes to the question of Rafael Devers’ positional future. On Saturday, though, manager Alex Cora offered the most definitive answer yet.

The Boston Red Sox don't have Alex Bregman back in the mix yet at third base, but he's working hard to get back on the field for Red Sox fans. Bregman hasn't appeared in a big league game since May 23rd due to a quad injury.

The World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers have turned into a .500 team recently, but a trade with the Red Sox could solidify one big aspect of their game.

Alex Bregman's return to the Red Sox isn't imminent, but he's hopeful to be back in the lineup in the next few weeks.

Crochet held New York scoreless over a career-high 8 1/3 innings, striking out the Yankees slugger three times while holding the rest of New York’s lineup to four hits with seven total Ks.

The Reds swung a trade on Saturday by acquiring right-handed pitcher Brian Van Belle from the Red Sox for cash considerations. Cincinnati optioned Van Belle to Triple-A Louisville and now have a full 40-man roster.
