Red Sox place starter Tanner Houck (forearm) on 15-day injured list
May 14 - The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Tanner Houck on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday because of a right flexor pronator strain.
The move is retroactive to Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox recalled right-hander Cooper Criswell from Triple-A Worcester.
Houck yielded 11 runs, nine hits (including two home runs) and three walks in 2 1/3 innings Monday night in a 14-2 loss at Detroit.
"This is definitely probably the most lost I've ever been," Houck, 28, said after the game. "And just not getting the job done, which weighs on me heavily."
Asked about his health, Houck said, "Physically, I feel good," and added, "I just need to be better."
Houck is 0-3 with an 8.04 ERA, 17 walks, 32 strikeouts, an America League-high 57 hits allowed and a major league-worst 39 earned runs in 43 2/3 innings over nine starts this season.
An All-Star in 2024, Houck owns a career 24-32 record with nine saves, a 3.97 ERA, 158 walks and 449 strikeouts in 474 1/3 innings over 113 regular-season games (80 starts) since 2020.
The Red Sox selected Houck 24th overall in the 2017 MLB Draft out of the University of Missouri.
Criswell, 28, is 0-0 with one save, a 10.38 ERA, one walk and no strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings over three relief appearances this season. For his career, he is 7-7 with one save, a 4.78 ERA, 44 walks and 104 strikeouts in 141 1/3 innings over 41 games (20 starts) for the Los Angeles Angels (2021), Tampa Bay Rays (2022-23) and Red Sox (2024-present).

Red Sox fans go wild as cameraman can't stop zooming in on stunning sister of new star Roman Anthony
Baseball's No 1 prospect Roman Anthony enjoyed his first hit for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night... but some fans were more excited by the presence of his sister in the stands. Anthony was finally called up to the big leagues at the start of the week and starred in Boston's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay, doubling in two runs for his team at Fenway Park. The game was shown live on NESN, but some Red Sox fans were just as interested in finding out more about his family as they were about watching their new superstar in action. In the top of the second inning, the cameraman honed in on Lia Anthony in the stands, Roman's 22-year-old sister, and social media - predictably - went crazy. 'I'd like to be the first to welcome Roman Anthony's sister to Boston!' one wrote on X, and others quickly followed. 'Lord have mercy,' another added, while a third noted: 'What's her @? Asking for a friend...' Lia attended the game with her dad Chris, mom Lori and brother Anthony Anthony, and they even posed for a photo with Red Sox legend David Ortiz. Lia is 22 and has just graduated from Florida State University, where she studied Human Development and Family Sciences. On Instagram she has just over 5,000 followers as of Tuesday night, though that number is expected to skyrocket after her surprise appearance on national TV. In recent posts, the new graduate shows off various recent vacations, including a recent trip with friends to Aruba. Lia only has 5,000 followers on Instagram but that is likely to change after her TV appearance At the end of April she headed to Nashville just days after celebrating her FSU graduation, of which she said: 'Thank you Florida State for the best four years of my life.' Her brother Roman, meanwhile, is just getting started with what has the potential to be an incredible career in Major League Baseball. The No 1 prospect in the sport, fans have been clamoring for him to get out of Triple-A for weeks and he finally got the call on Monday, making his debut the same day.

Roman Anthony makes first hit count as Red Sox beat Rays
June 11 - Roman Anthony recorded a two-RBI double for the first hit of his major league career and Trevor Story went 2-for-4 with a homer to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays in the second of a three-game series on Tuesday night. Anthony, who was playing in just his second career game following a Monday recall from Triple-A Worcester, lined an opposite-field double into the left-field corner to give the Red Sox a 2-0 lead in the first inning that they would never relinquish. Lucas Giolito (2-1) made the big hit stand up in his start for Boston, dealing six innings of three-hit ball over which he struck out four and allowed only one unearned run. Story added a towering solo homer to left field in the sixth, breaking a string of 10 out of 11 retired by Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot (3-6), who finished with nine strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings. Tampa Bay was held to just three hits, with leadoff-hitting Yandy Diaz recording the lone RBI on a two-out single in the fifth. Back-to-back walks and an error brought Jose Caballero into scoring position, leading to the lone Rays run. The Red Sox found the scoreboard almost right away in the first, as Devers lunged a single into shallow center and Narvaez ripped a two-out double inside the left-field line to set the table for Anthony's milestone moment. Giolito delivered a much-needed strong start, allowing single hits in the second, third and fifth innings. A 4-6-3 double play turned by Kristian Campbell and Story on the middle infield got Giolito through the third in the minimum three batters, and the Boston starter wound up retiring five of the last six he faced. Anthony also made a gem of a defensive play in the sixth, sliding in right field to take a hit away from Jonathan Aranda and keep the score at 3-1. The visitors were hitless over the final four frames and off the bases for the final 4 1/3, as Garrett Whitlock and Greg Weissert followed Giolito out of the Boston bullpen. Whitlock struck out three in two scoreless innings before Weissert recorded the three-out save on seven pitches. --Field Level Media

Rays outlast Red Sox in 11 in Roman Anthony's debut
June 10 - Jake Mangum went 4-for-6 with two RBIs for the Tampa Bay Rays, who scored twice in the 11th inning to upend the host Boston Red Sox 10-8 in the opener of a three-game series Monday night. After Junior Caminero drew a bases-loaded, full-count walk off Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly (1-3), Mangum beat out an RBI infield single that delivered an insurance run and helped Massachusetts native Ian Seymour (1-0) earn a win in his MLB debut. Yandy Diaz and Jonathan Aranda also had multiple hits for the victorious Rays. Seven of the 10 half-innings from the seventh through 11th featured scoring, but Tampa Bay held the hosts to 4-for-23 with runners in scoring position. Aranda hit a two-out RBI single during Tampa Bay's three-run seventh, and after Trevor Story's RBI single brought Boston within a run in the bottom half, the first baseman skied a ninth-inning sacrifice fly to center field. The Red Sox, though, would not be denied in the ninth. After Rafael Devers drew a leadoff walk and Abraham Toro cranked a wall-ball double, Roman Anthony -- No. 1 prospect who was making his big-league debut -- recorded an RBI groundout and Kristian Campbell knocked a game-tying RBI single over the pitcher's mound. In the 10th, a Taylor Walls sac fly gave Tampa the lead, but Toro reached on Aranda's fielding error that allowed Ceddanne Rafaela to score another tying run for Boston. Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected for arguing a strikeout call in Romy Gonzalez's penultimate at-bat of the game in the 11th. Story, Gonzalez and Rafaela all had two hits for Boston. Anthony, who was recalled from Triple-A Worcester earlier in the day, went 0-for-4 with a walk and the aforementioned RBI. Tampa's Shane Baz and Boston's Brayan Bello traded zeroes through three innings before the visitors scored on Mangum's two-out RBI single in the fourth and twice more in the fifth to take the lead. An inning after Mangum's go-ahead RBI, the Rays added to their advantage in a two-run fifth as Brandon Lowe and Diaz knocked two-out RBI singles. The latter preceded a misplay by Anthony in right, but Bello recovered to strike out Aranda to end the inning. Marcelo Mayer's leadoff double and a following single by Rafaela set the table for Boston in the fifth. Connor Wong's double-play groundout plated the first run. The Red Sox made it 3-3 after a two-run double by Gonzalez -- a line drive down the right field line off reliever Garrett Cleavinger, scoring Devers (walk) and Toro (hit by pitch). The Rays broke the game back open in a three-run seventh, including Josh Lowe's go-ahead double into the right-center gap. Walls scored after drawing a leadoff walk. Aranda added an insurance RBI single later in the frame. A Toro RBI groundout and Story's single brought the hosts back within one in their half. --Field Level Media
