Pablo Reyes was DFA’d by the Red Sox. Making this the perfect time to celebrate his. . . pitching.

Welcome back to another edition of The Anatomy of An Inning. My name is Jacob Roy, and I pretend to know pitching better than the pitchers themselves. If you’re new here or need a reminder of what this is all about, I take an inning from the previous week or so and break it down, one pitch at a time. Each pitch should have a purpose, I’m looking...

Happy Tuesday.

How about those Celtics?

Anyway...the Red Sox are back in action tonight in the first of three games against the San Francisco Giants.

The Red Sox are somehow a winning baseball team through the first month of the season. Let’s celebrate with the first of our monthly player power rankings.

How are they doing this? After the first 29 games of the season, the Red Sox have lost their starting shortstop, first baseman, and three key members of the starting rotation to the IL, including Opening Day starter Brayan Bello. Add in scattered injuries to relievers and backup...

Meet The New Guy: Garrett Cooper

Triston Casas is going to be the IL for a while, so in the meantime we plug the hole with a veteran.

Who is he and where did he come from?

He’s Garrett Cooper. We heard his name around the rumor mill this past winter, but following Triston Casas’ relegation to the 60-day IL with a ribcage tear (and the recognition that the timetable to return may be some amount longer than that) the Red Sox acquired Cooper from the Cubs. Previous to that, he...

Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images

The roster is getting a makeover, and it may not look the way you expect.

A flurry of roster moves are ongoing with the Red Sox this week, spurred by injuries, a rehab assignment, and the general evolution of the roster.

We can start with what’s already happened: Over the weekend, the Red Sox acquired first baseman Garrett Cooper from the Cubs for cash.

The Chicago Cubs have traded Garrett Cooper to the Boston Red Sox per sources.

One thing that’s been a constant for the Boston Red Sox this season is stellar starting pitching performances. Much has been made of pitching coach Andrew Bailey‘s ability to take the entire rotation and elevate their stuff to produce better results.

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

Four hits and a walk as his rehab wraps up.

Happy Monday! Each of the Red Sox affiliates (besides the Drive) were on the road this week and met mixed results; I’m sure none of them will hate going home from Sunday’s games. Sunday was more of the same: rough luck combined with some rough play.

Looking to get past an ugly loss on Saturday, the Chicago Cubs nearly capped off an impressive comeback on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox.
