Chapman is the 14th pitcher to reach 350 saves. Nine more this year would move him past Troy Percival, and there’s an outside chance of him getting 18 and 19 to overtake Jeff Readon and Jonathan Papelbon, respectively. However, with the Red Sox not really looking like top contenders, it’s quite possible that Chapman will be traded, perhaps to a team that would use him in more of a setup role.

MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reported that the “Red Sox are planning to get Yoshida some ‘light work’ pregame at first base during his rehab assignment.” The team is not switching his position and still views Yoshida as an outfielder or designated hitter. Still, while he’s with Worcester, they are seeing how he responds to the new position to see if it gives him added versatility. Considering Yoshida is just 5'8" and has not played first base before, we would imagine it’s a long shot that he’d get into a game at the position.

Weissert was brought in to get the final out of the sixth and then stayed for the seventh, which opened with a single, an error, a walk and then a Christian Encarnacion-Strand grand slam. That still wasn’t enough to get Weissert lifted, though, and he wound up allowing one more run on a double and a single before being removed with two outs. Weissert came into this one with a 2.84 ERA and had seemingly emerged as a No. 2 option in the Red Sox pen with Justin Slaten down, something that seems worth paying attention to since Aroldis Chapman could be traded this month. However, this is a setback, and he also has some new competition in the form of Jordan Hicks, though Hicks also gave up three runs — one earned — while getting two outs tonight.
