Rodriguez has big night in Drive triumph
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Red Sox No. 10 Prospect Yophery Rodriguez doubled three times and drove in five runs, and the Greenville Drive staved off a late push to beat the Jersey Shore Blueclaws 10-7 on Wednesday night at Fluor Field in the opener of a six-game homestand. The Drive (21-25) plated five runs in the second inning and never relinquished the lead, handing Jersey Shore's Alex McFarlane (0-5) another rough outing. McFarlane allowed five earned runs over just 1 2/3 innings as Greenville's offense struck early and often. Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Murphy, making his first rehab appearance since coming off the injured list, tossed a scoreless first inning for Greenville, striking out two on just 13 pitches in his brief but effective outing. Murphy spent time on the Greenville roster in 2021 before making it all the way to The Show in 2022. Murphy looked sharp in his return to the mound and will continue his rehab stint in Greenville during this homestand. Eduardo Rivera (2-1) followed with 4 1/3 innings in relief, giving up four runs on four hits while striking out eight. Closer Cooper Adams earned his first save, stranding the tying run in the on-deck circle in the ninth. Greenville's offense broke through in the second after Antonio Anderson led off with a double. After a hit-by-pitch and a force out, Brooks Brannon drove in Anderson with a single, and Justin Riemer followed with an RBI knock of his own. With two outs, Rodriguez delivered the big blow — a bases-clearing double to left-center that gave Greenville a 5-1 lead. Rodriguez struck again in the fifth, adding another two-run double as part of a three-run inning that pushed the lead to 9-3. Anderson finished 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, while Brannon collected three hits and an RBI. Riemer added two RBIs and stole two bases. The Drive racked up 12 hits, including six doubles, and went 6-for-17 with runners in scoring position. Jersey Shore (17-28) showed life late, cutting a 9-3 deficit to 9-6 in the sixth on a three-run homer by Carson DeMartini — his fourth of the season — off reliever Danny Kirwin. DeMartini drove in three and stole a base, while Jordan Dissin and Dylan Campbell each added an RBI. Despite drawing six walks and stealing four bases, the Blueclaws were held in check by timely pitching and left 10 runners on base. Greenville's bullpen combined for 19 strikeouts, with Stebens fanning five over 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Jersey Shore threatened in the ninth, putting the tying run on deck after a hit-by-pitch and a walk, but Drive southpaw Cooper Adams struck out Lopez to end it. The Drive and BlueClaws continue their series Thursday night at Fluor Field with first pitch scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Brewers acquire RHP Quinn Priester from Red Sox

Outfielder Yophery Rodriguez also is heading to Boston along with a player to be named later or cash considerations, the teams announced. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Brewers designated left-hander Grant Wolfram for assignment. Priester, a first-round pick of Pittsburgh in the 2019 MLB Draft, opened the season at Triple-A Worcester. He's 6-9 with a 6.23 ERA in 21 career games (15 starts) with the Pirates (2023-24) and Red Sox (2024).

Red Sox trade pitcher Quinn Priester to Brewers for outfield prospect, draft pick
The Red Sox swung an early season trade on Monday, dealing pitcher Quinn Priester to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfield prospect Yophery Rodriguez, a high draft pick in 2025, and a player to be named later/cash considerations. Boston acquired Priester last July from the Pittsburgh Pirates for former first-round pick Nick Yorke. He made just one start while in a Boston uniform, when Priester allowed one run over five innings in the final game of the 2024 season. With Brayan Bello, Lucas Giiolito, and Kutter Crawford all starting the season on the injured list, the 24-year-old Priester was an option for the backend of the Boston rotation to start the year. But Priester lost out to Richard Fitts and Sean Newcomb, and started the season in Triple-A Worcester. He made one start for the Worcester Red Sox and allowed two runs off six hits over four innings. When the Red Sox needed a starter for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, the team went with prospect Hunter Dobbins over Priester. In his MLB debut, Dobbins allowed two runs over five innings and got the win in Boston's 18-7 victory . Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has made a point of boosting the organization's pitching depth over the last two seasons, but dealing away Priester would indicate the team is comfortable with its collection of in-house arms. After Monday's trade, the Red Sox have one open spot on the team's 40-man roster. In return for Priester, the Red Sox acquired 19-year-old outfielder Yophery Rodriguez, who was the No. 7 prospect in Milwaukee's system. He hit .250 with a .726 OPS and clubbed seven homers to go with 60 RBI over 110 games for Single-A Carolina in 2024. He's best known for his defense and was said to have the best outfield arm in the Brewers system, according to scouting reports. In addition to Rodriguez and a PTBNL/cash considerations, Boston also received a Competitive Balance Round A pick -- No. 33rd overall -- in the 2025 draft from Milwaukee. The Red Sox will now pick four times in the top 100 at No. 15, 33, 75, and 87 in July.
