It doesn’t come as a total surprise to see Duran on the bench against Rockies lefty Austin Gomber, especially given Ceddanne Rafaela’s remarkable turnaround at the plate in recent weeks. It’ll be lefty-masher Rob Refsnyder getting the nod in left field with Wilyer Abreu in the opposite corner and Roman Anthony at DH on Monday night at Fenway Park. Unheralded utility specialist Nate Eaton gets his third straight start in the leadoff spot with Marcelo Mayer on the bench for the third consecutive contest.

While Wilyer Abreu and Marcelo Mayer are mostly sitting against lefties, Anthony has been in the lineup all three games as the Red Sox have faced three in a row. He’s 7-for-18 with four RBI in his last four games, and he’s hit .363 in his last 10 games to improve to .250/.353/.398 through 102 plate appearances.

A home start against the Rockies is as easy as it gets, but Fitts will definitely take the win after going 0-4 in spite of a 3.33 ERA in his first 11 career starts. The Red Sox had been 0-10 in those games until finally winning a Fitts start in the suspended game against the Reds last week, when rain brought things to a halt with Boston up 2-1 after three. Fitts allowed five hits, walked one and struck out six tonight. He should stay in the rotation for now and face the Rays on Sunday, but things are about to get complicated with Hunter Dobbins and Tanner Houck close to returning.

Gonzalez crushed a Ryan Rolison pitch 111.1 mph over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park, and his other two balls in play were 106.9 mph and 103.6 mph. He has a ridiculous 59.6 percent hard-hit rate this season; the only hitter with 50 plate appearances doing better is Shohei Ohtani at 60.2 percent. Also, his strikeout rate is also down to 23.6 percent from 26.9 percent in his first season with the Red Sox and 36.0 percent during his White Sox career. He certainly wouldn’t maintain his current .923 OPS while playing regularly against righties, but he deserves a shot to show what he can do outside of a platoon role.

It’s Trammell’s only hit in 15 at-bats since joining the Astros. He now had 16 career major league homers in 377 plate appearances since debuting with the Mariners in 2021. Unfortunately, those have come with a .163 average and a 36.8 percent strikeout rate.

Loperfido’s .278/.354/.422 line in Triple-A was pretty uninspiring, but he did seem to be heating up just before the promotion Sunday, and now he’s 3-for-7 with a homer for the Jays after going deep just six times in 315 plate appearances for Buffalo. He’ll probably play regularly through the All-Star break, but he could be replaced by Daulton Varsho afterwards. The Jays also hope to have Anthony Santander back at some point.

The 26-year-old is hitting .280/.382/.544 in 53 games at Triple-A this season with 12 home runs, 48 RBI, six steals, and a 63/28 K/BB ratio. With Tommy Pham’s name swirling in trade rumors, it’s possible that Suwinski gets another shot at the MLB level this summer.
