4/28/24 Second baseman Vaughn Grissom to join Red Sox following completion of rehab assignment. The Sox, who sent the 23-year-old on a rehab assignment on April 12, wanted to ensure Grissom accumulated enough reps at second, as well as enough at-bats. After Sunday's contest, Cora reiterated that Grissom will likely join the club Tuesday at Fenway for the start of their series against the Giants. Grissom will be paired with Ceddanne Rafaela after the Sox named the rookie as the everyday shortstop in place of the injured Trevor Story.

Ceddanne Rafaela led the way going 4-for-4 with seven RBIs and finished a triple shy of the cycle in a 17-0 Saturday win, but Boston's stars were numerous.

Tyler O'Neill began the scoring with his ninth home run of the season on his 3-for-5 day, while Bobby Dalbec drove in three. Coupled with a five-pitcher shutout that included hitless two-inning stints from Justin Slaten and Cam Booser, there was plenty to excite Boston manager Alex Cora.

4/12/24 It appeared the Red Sox had addressed their defensive problems, but they've taken a turn for the worse. The return of Story, a commitment to Ceddanne Rafaela in center field, the removal of Yoshida's glove, and improvement at the corner infield spots (especially Casas) would remake the team's defense. The Sox proved capable of winning games with pitching and defensive excellence on their season-opening, 7-3 West Coast swing. The defense went with it. Story suffered his injury in the fourth inning of last Friday's game in Anaheim.

4/11/24 New Red Sox Prospect Joins Rankings After Ceddanne Rafaela Graduates. Not only did Ceddanne Rafaela just sign a contract extension with the Boston Red Sox that runs through 2031 (with a club option for 2032). Who replaced Rafaela in the organization's new top 30, you ask? Well, look no further than Luis Guerrero, a 23-year-old right-hander who opened the 2024 season at Triple-A Worcester after being named Pitcher of the Year with Double-A Portland in 2023. Guerrero also was named the Red Sox's Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Year last season, punctuating a productive year that saw him earn selection to the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game and blossom into one of the franchise's best bullpen prospects.

4/03/24 Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela Drops Great Line After Game-Saving Catch. Red Sox rookie Ceddanne Rafaela isn't going to be relied upon to carry the offense at any point in the near future, but despite his deficiencies, there's a clear reason he's with the big-league club. Rafaela has proven as much just six games into the season, making a spectacular play in Tuesday's win over the Oakland Athletics that essentially saved the game for the Red Sox. If Rafaela doesn't make that play, the best-case scenario is a tie ballgame. The worst case is a loss to the lowly A's, which is unacceptable for a team looking to outshine expectations.
