Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Sent back to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Eaton to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Eaton spent 24 hours with the Red Sox but didn't appear in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. Eaton is slashing .292/.373/.458 with three homers, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, six stolen bases and a 12:25 BB:K at Triple-A this season.

Red Sox's Willson Contreras: Homers again Wednesday
Contreras went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Contreras' first-inning blast off Eric Lauer, his seventh homer this season, proved to be all the offense the Red Sox could muster Wednesday. Contreras has been one of Boston's few bright spots early this year -- he's gone 7-for-19 (.368) with three homers and a 1.330 OPS in his last five games, boosting his slash line to .262/.375/.486 with 20 RBI and 16 runs scored through his first 128 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Takes third straight loss
Bello (1-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
It was another rough outing for Bello, who's now dropped three straight starts, allowing 16 runs in just 11 innings during that span. Bello's ERA now sits at an ugly 9.12 with a 2.26 WHIP and 17:15 K:BB across six starts (25.2 innings). Given the recent injuries to Garrett Crochet (shoulder) and Sonny Gray (hamstring), Bello seems likely to stick in the rotation for the time being despite the struggles. His next outing is tentatively scheduled to come on the road next week against Detroit.

Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Resting up Wednesday
Narvaez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
After seeing his six-game hitting streak come to an end during Tuesday's 3-0 loss, Narvaez will receive a breather for the series finale in Toronto. Connor Wong will step in behind the plate for the Red Sox and will bat seventh.

Red Sox's Nate Eaton: Called up Wednesday
Boston recalled Eaton from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday
In a corresponding move to Garrett Crochet's (shoulder) placement on the 15-day injured list, Eaton was called up to the major leagues for the first time this season. Opening the season with Worcester, the 29-year-old has batted .292 with three home runs in 96 plate appearances. Eaton appeared in 41 regular-season games for the Red Sox last year and hit .296 with one homer and nine steals. He should fill a super-utility role while up with the big club.

Red Sox's Marcelo Mayer: Taking seat against southpaw
Mayer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
With a left-hander (Eric Lauer) on the hill for Toronto, the left-handed-hitting Mayer will bow out of the lineup for the series finale. He'll be replaced in the starting nine by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who will man second base and bat eighth.

Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Confident in minimum-length IL stay
Crochet (shoulder) said Wednesday that he's "pretty confident" he'll be able to return from the injured list in the minimum 15 days, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Coming off his best outing since Opening Day in Saturday's win over Baltimore -- a seven-strikeout gem over six scoreless innings -- Crochet was surprisingly placed on the IL on Wednesday due to left shoulder inflammation. Though any shoulder injury for a pitcher carries some level of a concern, Crochet indicated that the Red Sox deactivated him mostly as a matter of caution, after the southpaw relayed to the coaching staff that he felt some fatigue during Saturday's outing. While Crochet will continue to receive daily treatment for his shoulder, he hasn't stopped throwing since his last start, which bodes well for his odds of returning from the IL when first eligible May 12. In the meantime, the Red Sox are likely to recall left-hander Jake Bennett from Triple-A Worcester to replace Crochet for two turns through the rotation.

Red Sox's Jarren Duran: Taking seat for series finale
Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Duran had been listed in the starting nine in Boston's initial lineup for the day, but he'll instead hit the bench while Roman Anthony replaces him in left field and atop the batting order. The Red Sox have yet to indicate that Duran was scratched due to any sort of physical issue, so it's possible that interim manager Chad Tracy has just changed his mind about the lineup and opted to rest the sixth-year outfielder. Duran had started in each of Boston's previous seven games and went hitless in the last three of those contests.

Red Sox's Jake Bennett: Likely to make debut this weekend
Bennett "seems likely" to make his major-league debut Friday versus Houston, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The Red Sox have not yet announced their probable pitcher for Friday's contest against the Astros, but Bennett was scratched from his most recent scheduled start for Triple-A Worcester and appears poised to step in as a replacement for Garrett Crochet (shoulder). Acquired via trade from the Nationals over the offseason, Bennett has permitted just three runs (two earned) with a 16:3 K:BB over his first 21 innings with Worcester this season. He's already on the 40-man roster and would be making his major-league debut if he does indeed draw a start versus Houston.

Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Heads to IL with inflamed shoulder
The Red Sox placed Crochet on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to left shoulder inflammation.
Crochet bounced back from a rough two-start stretch to deliver six scoreless innings in his most recent turn Saturday in Baltimore, but he may have tweaked his shoulder at some point during that outing or in his between-starts bullpen session. The Red Sox haven't revealed a timeline for their ace's return, though the fact that his injury is being classified as inflammation rather than a strain could offer hope that he'll be able to return in the minimum 15 days or close to it. Lefty Jake Bennett (0.75 ERA, 0.75 WHIP in 24 innings at Triple-A Worcester) was scratched ahead of his most recent minor-league start and could be called up to replace Crochet in the rotation and make his MLB debut during this weekend's series versus the Astros.

Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Experiences velocity drop
Tolle's fastball averaged 95 mph in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays, a drop from 97.1 during last Thursday's outing, Zack Worden of MLB.com reports.
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy downplayed the drop in velocity, noting that Tolle had extended time between outings when the left-hander started against the Yankees last Thursday. "Keep in mind that he had 10 days off [before throwing against the Yankees], and he went to 93 pitches," Tracy said. "So we knew that, and it was still 95 [mph], mostly. So, it wasn't like he was soft-tossing." With Sonny Gray (hamstring) beginning to throw off a mound Monday, Tolle's time in the rotation could come to a close soon. He should be able to fit in at least one more start, and maybe more if struggling starter Brayan Bello doesn't right his ship when he pitches the series finale Wednesday.

Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Undergoes imaging
Sandoval (biceps) underwent additional testing after being pulled from a rehab assignment, and the imaging revealed nothing alarming, MLB.com reports.
Sandoval, who was initially on rehab because of an elbow injury, developed a biceps issue in his second rehab outing and was shut down. It's encouraging that nothing of concern was found in the test results, but the Red Sox have not announced when Sandoval will begin throwing again.

Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Yields three runs in loss
Tolle (0-1) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings.
Tolle struck out 11 Yankees batters across six innings in his 2026 debut with the Red Sox this past Thursday, but Tuesday's contest against another AL East rival was a different story for the 23-year-old southpaw. He gave up two runs in the third inning and another in the fifth before being pulled, and he was tagged with the loss after his Boston teammates failed to generate any runs while logging just four hits and one walk. Tolle's next turn in the rotation comes next week on the road against the Tigers, but that could be his last if Sonny Gray (hamstring) is cleared to return from the 15-day injured list when eligible May 6. That said, interim manager Chad Tracy could opt to keep Tolle in the rotation if Brayan Bello cannot overcome his slow start to the season.

Red Sox's Justin Slaten: Throwing bullpen sessions
Slaten (oblique) threw a bullpen session Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Monday marked the first time that Slaten has done any kind of mound work since he landed on the injured list in early April with a right oblique strain. Interim manager Chad Tracy said the right-hander is due to throw another bullpen within the next several days, after which the team will evaluate his progress and potentially determine when he may come back from the IL.

Red Sox's Sonny Gray: Throws off mound
Gray (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Interim manager Chad Tracy said Tuesday that everything went well during Gray's first round of mound work since his placement on the IL and added that the plan is for the 36-year-old to build up volume during his next bullpen session. Gray will be eligible to return from the injured list May 6 and seems to be on track to return on or shortly after that date.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Out of Boston's lineup
Rafaela is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.
It looks to be a routine day off for Rafaela, who had started each of the previous seven contests. Jarren Duran will play center field and bat leadoff in Rafaela's stead.
