Earlier X-rays were negative.

Realmuto said he was thrilled – in more ways than one – that Gordon homered. The Marlins snagged a Game 1 victory on Tuesday night against the Sox with a score of 5-4.

Ramirez has hit. 218 with a. 491 OPS in 20 games since the All-Star break. 297 since July 1st to raise his average to. Injuries have also plagued the Marlins, and it would not come as a surprise if they chose to shut down key players. His return would push one out of the lineup.

Rodriguez was rocked for eight runs on nine hits in five-plus innings of work on Wednesday afternoon, putting the Red Sox in a big hole as they fell to the Marlins in an ugly 14-6 loss. “I can’t have him hitting more triples”. Betts doubled to left, Bradley Jr. scored.

“(The slider) would be his third pitch at the moment”, Farrell said.

“I told Dee I was glad it went over the fence”, Realmuto said. Tom Koehler will get the ball to begin the series on Friday. “He’s fun to watch”.

The Miami Marlins faced a four-run deficit and stranded 16 runners, but they kept plugging away and eventually pulled ahead. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll see a win.

“That seemed to be a trend for me when I start, ” smiled Conley. He started the inning off by giving up a leadoff triple to Gordon. “It wasn’t so much my last start, but after that”.

Boston didn’t make any roster moves this Wednesday to either try and reinforce their bullpen or to change any struggling relievers. “Don’t I look it?”

“There’s a level of dependability that he’s been able to forge relatively quick”, Farrell said. “It feels good to feel like you’re playing at home”.

Still, Farrell was limited.

Eduardo Rodriguez has been one of the lone bright spots for the Red Sox in 2015, and has given the Boston fans hope for a talented top of the rotation starter to pair with Clay Buchholz in 2016.

Red Sox manager John Farrell left shortly before the game after undergoing hernia surgery on Monday. Robbie Ross Jr. was next in line for Boston, and he was no better than his two predecessors, with the grand slam from the Marlins’ young catcher ending the barrage of runs.

It’s damn hard to hit new lows in a season this terrible, and I hesitate to say today was one. “We’re picking from all righthanders”. The infield did him no favors, granted, with David Ortiz looking completely out of place at first base, but this was just not a well-pitched game by Rodriguez. He has started seven games at first base this season, his most since 2012. In essence, the Sox are conducting open auditions for Cook and waiver claim Jean Machi, two veterans deemed eminently expendable by their former clubs. The Red Sox have a 40-7 record when outhitting opponents.
