Hamilton’s third-inning round-tripper — his first big fly of the season — represented the lone tally for either side during a rare low-scoring pitcher’s duel at high-octane Steinbrenner Field. The 27-year-old speedster figures to continue splitting time between shortstop and second base whenever Trevor Story or Kristian Campbell require a day off.

The Red Sox had to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate their megadeal with the Giants on Sunday and unfortunately that left Penrod out in the cold. The 27-year-old southpaw has registered a 2.84 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and an 8/4 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings in the minor leagues this season after missing the first few months with a left elbow strain. There’s a chance that he passes through waivers unclaimed and continues to serve as extra depth for the Red Sox.

The one real unknown in this mega deal is Jose Bello. The 20-year-old right-hander was signed out of the Dominican Republic and has spent the past three seasons pitching in the lowest levels of the minor leagues. He has registered a 2.00 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and a 28/3 K/BB ratio over 18 innings for the Giants’ affiliate in the Arizona Complex League this season. He’s a very intriguing young arm but a long way from potentially helping out at the major league level.

Tibbs was the Giants’ first-round pick (13th overall) from the 2024 draft class. He’s off to a solid start at High-A Eugene this season, slashing .245/.377/.480 with 12 long balls, 32 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. How the Red Sox ultimately get judged on this mega deal may come down to how big of an impact Tibbs makes in the big leagues upon his ultimate arrival.

Just us thinking about how the Rockies were leaving Freeman on the bench two-thirds of the time so that they could play Nick Martini and Kyle Farmer. At least he’s playing now, and he’s opened June 11-for-23 with five extra-base hits and no strikeouts in seven games, putting him at .306/.366/.468 on the season.

Treated as a platoon guy recently, Freeman had made just one other start against a righty since coming off the IL on May 16. Oddly enough, in the 13 games before he got hurt in April, he started four times in nine games against righties and none of the four times the Rockies faced lefties. Throughout all of it, it’s become clear that the late March trade with the Guardians was less about acquiring Freeman and more about moving on from Nolan Jones. We’re not sure Freeman is a regular, either, but he is more interesting than most of the guys on Colorado’s roster. Perhaps the showing today will earn him some extra time for a bit.
