The Red Sox’s new third baseman is now 10-for-27 this spring with three doubles and one triple. He has also walked five times and struck out just one while stealing two bases. After hitting 11 home runs last season, there’s a chance that Durbin could push closer to 15 this year in Fenway Park, and his new environment should help him improve on his .256 batting average as well. He looks like a potential target if you wait to fill your corner infield spot in drafts and need some speed and batting average.

Narváez is now slashing .350/.440/.500 with one home run and six RBI through ten games this spring. The 27-year-old hit .273/.347/.439 with eight home runs in 285 plate appearances to begin last season before suffering a knee injury. He figures to start around 70 percent of Boston’s games behind the dish due to his defensive value, and is a real value in two-catcher fantasy formats.

Oviedo struck out five and posted a 23 percent whiff rate and 30 percent CSW; however, he also walked three and threw just 57 percent of his pitches for strikes. The upside is that Oviedo had a 67 percent first pitch strike rate with his four-seam fastball, so he didn’t really struggle to get ahead of hitters; he just couldn’t execute with his breaking stuff as often as he would have liked after he did. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible start for Oviedo, and he remains the favorite to open the season as Boston’s fifth starter.

The Red Sox had a sudden opening on their 40-man roster with Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) hitting the 60-day injured list, so they put it to use. Coulombe, 36, registered a terrific 2.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 43/18 K/BB ratio over 43 innings between the Twins and Rangers during the 2025 campaign. The question now is whether or not he can get himself into game shape over the next two weeks to be included as part of the team’s Opening Day bullpen.

Gonzalez underwent an arthroscopic debridement procedure on his left shoulder and is staring at a recovery time of at least two months. By placing him on the injured list on Thursday the Red Sox cleared a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Danny Coulombe.

Gonzalez injured his shoulder at the end of the 2026 season and has been held out of baseball activities all spring after receiving a PRP injection in February. He’s expected to be sidelined for at least two months while recovering. Since he missed the entire spring, he’ll also need extended at-bats in a minor league setting before he’s ready to join the Red Sox.

Early settled for just one strikeout, but he was again effective and is now sporting a 2.25 ERA in 12 innings on the spring. He’s been averaging 95 mph with his heater, up one mph from last-season MLB audition and 1.5 mph from his time in Triple-A. Alas, the Red Sox will almost surely have him begin the year back in Triple-A unless injuries strike the rotation.

He did reach on a HBP, so that was something. Campbell’s revamped swing has thus far earned him a .194/.264/.355 line in 34 plate appearances this spring. He’s struck out 11 times and walked once. There was never much chance of him breaking camp with the Red Sox, but it’d be nice to see him setting himself up to contribute at some point during the season. That’s not happening yet.

Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto will toe the rubber for Japan as the defending WBC champions host Venezuela at loanDepot park in Miami. It’s a challenging assignment for Suárez having to face a loaded Japan lineup that is headlined by generational talent Shohei Ohtani. The winner of Saturday’s contest will face whoever emerges from a highly-anticipated matchup between Puerto Rico and Italy in the semifinals.

Gray also struck out four and walked one. Gray threw 61 percent strikes overall but just 50 percent first pitch strikes. He was able to get whiffs with his curve and registered a 17 percent whiff rate and 27 percent CSW. Gray’s velocity looks good, and he threw eight different pitches on Tuesday, so everything seems on track for him to start the season.

Two homers off a lefty from a player who totaled three of those all of last year. Duran was 7-for-12 with three homers in Red Sox camp and is now 5-for-10 with three homers in WBC play. The Red Sox had him available in trade talks all winter, but it might prove fortunate for them that no one met their asking price.

Story is coming off his best season in quite some time and certainly looks like he’s ready to keep it going. The 33-year-old is slashing .391/.417/.609 this spring and just swiped his first base of the Grapefruit League season. He should be going as a top 100 pick given his power and speed upside.

Crochet’s fastball was a little over one mph down from where he saw it last year, but he registered a 29 percent whiff rate, 34 percent CSW, and 71 percent strike rate overall, so there’s little to be concerned about here. It was a particularly humid day in Florida, and Crochet said that he wished he could pitch shirtless because he had to change his jersey after just one inning. Keep confidently drafting him as one of the top three starting pitchers in fantasy drafts.

Bello faced just the one batter over the minimum. His velocity is still down 1-1.5 mph from last year, as it was in his two starts for the Red Sox before joining the Dominican team. He was plenty effective today against a lineup that included two MLB bats (Horwitz and Harrison Bader), but what he’s showed so far this spring probably isn’t going to result in a strong ERA versus major league lineups.

Casas had started two weeks ago, that he believed he had a shot to break camp with the Red Sox, but since then, he has not been able to complete the baserunning and sliding hurdles that he would need to get into a game. He will still likely be on the field at the beginning of the season, just for Triple-A Worcester. The goal remains for Casas to be back in Boston by the end of May.

Bennett, who the Red Sox acquired from the Nationals for Luis Perales this offseason, made two spring training appearances, allowing three runs on five hits in three innings while striking out three. The 6'6" left-handed pitcher also flashed upper 90s velocity on his fastball while topping out at 98 mph, which is a significant increase from what he had shown with the Nationals. He also debuted a cutter that pounded the strike zone against righties. He could be a fast-rising prospect for the Red Sox this season. Boston also reassigned catchers Nate Baez and Ronald Rosario, RHPs Osvaldo Berrios, Hobie Harris, Vinny Nittoli, and Devin Sweet, and LHP Jeremy Wu-Yelland to minor league camp.

It sure would be great to see Song in the majors this summer, seven years after his shining debut in the Red Sox system was followed by a three-year commitment to the Navy. He touched 97.6 mph and averaged 95.0 mph with his fastball in the 31-pitch outing today. Last year, he averaged 93.8 mph in three late relief appearances for Triple-A Worcester.

Japan’s offense was held off the board entirely and they faced a 1-0 deficit heading to the home half of the seventh inning. Shohei Ohtani worked a leadoff walk and was on second base with two outs when Yoshida clubbed an 0-1 slider from Jon Kennedy for his 394-foot (107.1 mph EV) game-changing two-run blast. Yoshida also drew a walk in the contest, finishing the contest 1-for-3. He also homered and drove in three runs during Saturday’s victory over Korea while reaching three times with an RBI against Chinese Taipei on Friday.

The game was called in the bottom of the sixth. Oviedo, who was facing a Rays lineup without any projected starters, went without a walk today, even though he threw first-pitch strikes to just four of the 12 batters he faced. He also had a just a 21% CSW. It’s a really nice outing in the box score, but a major league lineup probably would have fared better against him.

Gonzalez has been held out of baseball activities this spring and won’t be ready for Opening Day. He received a PRP injection last month and hasn’t been progressing to the point where he can resume hitting again. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point later this week. He would be facing a lengthy absence if he winds up requiring a shoulder procedure.

It’s nice to see to some over-the-fence pop from Yoshida, who pulled a no-doubter to right field in the third inning following round-trippers by Shohei Ohtani and Seiya Suzuki earlier in the frame. He also plated a pair of key insurance runs with a based-loaded, two-run single to close out a three-run seventh inning. The 32-year-old missed most of last season recovering from a shoulder injury and will likely be limited to a platoon role off the bench due to Boston’s overcrowded outfield mix.

Red Sox rather ruled the day in this one; Ranger Suárez started and got the win for Venezuela, allowing one run in two innings, and Wilyer Abreu went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Marlins utilityman Javier Sanoja hit the lone homer. Venezuela has Israel and Nicaragua next on the schedule before the showdown with the Dominican Republic to end pool play. The Netherlands are probably going to need to upset the D.R. if they’re going to have a chance of advancing.

Campbell took a first-inning sweeper from Justin Verlander and hit it 394 feet at 101.9 mph off the bat for a home run. It’s been a slow spring for the 23-year-old, but he drastically overhauled his swing mechanics and stance in the offseason, and those things take time to click. He will most likely begin the season at Triple-A and continue to refine his new mechanics, but he still remains a high upside prospect and a potential buy in dynasty formats.

Early also posted a 29 percent whiff rate and 31 percent CSW while showing off his advanced six-pitch mix. The 24-year-old started last year in Double-A and made just six starts in Triple-A, so the Red Sox are hesitant to push him for a full MLB season if they don’t need to. The organization would also gain an extra year of control over Early if he remains in the minor leagues for the early portion of the season, so, with Johan Oviedo and Patrick Sandoval also capable of being the fifth starting pitcher, it seems highly likely that Early will begin the year in Triple-A.

Yoshida also played left field for the vast majority of the game. He’s a bit of a forgotten man in Boston because of their plethora of outfielders, but Yoshida is undoubtedly an above-average major league hitter. After being delayed due to a shoulder injury last year, he hit .266/.307/.388 in 205 plate appearances with four home runs and 26 RBI. Yoshida makes an elite level of contact, but he simply doesn’t have the power to be a great fit as a DH. If his defense could be just average in left field, he would be a solid starting option for many teams.

It’s an improvement over his two starts before leaving Red Sox camp. Still, not much is going with Bello’s new slider and revamped changeup. He threw the slider seven times today, resulting in three balls, two fouls, a 99-mph grounder and a HBP. The changeup was used just twice. Bello’s next start will come in the Dominican Republic’s third game against Israel.

The Netherlands won both of their exhibitions against MLB teams, with Rafaela acting as a driving force; he has two homers and two doubles the last two days. The team’s other standout today was Didi Gregorius, who went 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI.

He’s now carrying a 1.150 OPS in three spring training appearances. Mayer has a real shot to break camp with a starting role in Boston and he seems to be seizing it after missing time early in camp with a wrist injury.

Tolle topped 100 miles an hour on one pitch and averaged 98 with his four-seamer today while lowering his spring ERA to 4.05. It was a great performance under the circumstances, though it’s still unknown if Tolle has much of a chance to break camp with the Red Sox. He’d be pretty interesting if the Red Sox elected to go with him over Johan Oviedo, but the fact that he was pitching this deep into the game likely tells us he’d need to start stacking more of these performances in a hurry to make the club on Opening Day.
