www.cbsnews.comHere are the latest Red Sox updates I can share based on current coverage:
-
In-game and injury updates: Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day IL with a groin/sports-hernia type issue, impacting infield depth and likely leading to more time for other players to step in. Willson Contreras has shown signs of recovery from a hand contusion and has started participating in baseball activities, which could influence lineup decisions in the near term. Jose Iglesias (noted in some outlets) and other infield options have been discussed as possible fill-ins depending on availability; check the latest box scores for who’s in the lineup tonight.[3]
-
Pitching and roster notes: Tanner Houck has had elbow concerns and is expected to begin mound work late June, with uncertainty about whether he’ll pitch for Boston in 2026. There has been ongoing discussion about bullpen reinforcements and returns from the IL, including Justin Slaten’s activation from the 15-day IL recently, which bolsters late-inning options.[1][3]
-
Official team updates: MLB.com’s Red Sox feed and team-authorized outlets (e.g., MLB.com, The Boston Globe) are reporting on injuries, lineup changes, and recovery timelines with situational context around upcoming matchups, so following those sources will give you the freshest daily updates.[4][3]
-
Local and national outlets: CBS Sports, FOX Sports, and The Boston Globe provide near-real-time game recaps, injury news, and roster moves, often with additional notes on prospects and depth charts for the next few series.[6][1][4]
