Balanced, and not in the fun way. 5-2 over the last 7. That record does the talking. Also helping: the arms have been stingy at 2.9 RA/G.

Red Sox News

The Red Sox capped off a grueling stretch, losing 6-4 to the Angels, the team with the worst record in the American League, which stings given their chase for a playoff spot. Wilyer Abreu and Roman Anthony each launched homers, but it wasn't enough to overcome a disappointing outing from Jake Bennett, who failed to deliver in a critical game. Meanwhile, injury woes continue to plague the roster, as Chad Tracy's updates signal that we may have seen the last of Curtis Mead this season. On a brighter note, catcher Adley Rutschman is taking a planned day off after a cortisone shot to manage his hyperextended elbow, highlighting the ongoing balancing act of keeping key players healthy. With just a few weeks left in the season, the Red Sox must find a way to regain momentum and capitalize on their recent 5-2 stretch.

What Would It Cost To Extend Adley Rutschman?
The Red Sox gave up a strong package of talent in order to bring catcher Adley Rutschman to Boston. Fellow catcher Carlos Narváez went to Baltimore along with prospects Anthony Eyanson, Enddy Azocar, Kyson Witherspoon and Harold Rivas, the latter as the player to be named later.
