It helps when you've got the likes of Holmes and King to eat the 6th and 7th innings, but he hasn't fucked it up.

Yet.

JAYLIN DAVISOF, BOSTON RED SOX

Red Sox claimed OF Jaylin Davis off waivers from the Giants; optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.​

Davis, 27, was designated for assignment by San Francisco late last week. He's a career .159/.221/.270 hitter in 26 career games at the MLB level but has flashed big-time offensive upside in the minor leagues.

thought it was dumb to pull Whitlock and lean on the bullpen for 5+ innings, but can't fault them when the pitching gave up only one run and it wasn't even earned.

No home runs since last Friday. .280 OBP good for 25th in MLB, and they have the lowest walk rate in the league. And it's not like they're hitting for power (23rd in ISO, 26th in home runs) or stealing bases (29th). I know there's a lot of season left, but I've never seen a Red Sox lineup look so anemic.

not to worry

hris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports that the Red Sox will designate Travis Shaw for assignment and call up Franchy Cordero prior to Friday's game against the Orioles.​

Shaw made the Opening Day roster after returning on a minor league deal but has gone 0-for-19 with seven strikeouts to start the season. Cordero has a .913 OPS with three homers at Triple-A Worcester and has been playing first base there of late, so he figures to spell Bobby Dalbec some at the position.

Thank God. I'd rather give Cordero another shot than keep trotting out Shaw. I hate to shit on Shaw because I do like him a lot, but he's been a sub-replacement level player for four seasons now. It'll be interesting to see if Franchy gets reps at 1st, but hopefully it means less JBJ starts.

Nice head of steam heading into the first meeting with the Jays.



Judge + 350 to homer yesterday.

Easy money.
