Three members of the Red Sox took home Gold Glove Awards at their respective positions Sunday night, marking just the fifth time in franchise history that Boston has had three winners in the same season.
The Red Sox previously accomplished the feat in 2018, 2011, 1979 and 1968.
Right fielder Wilyer Abreu won his third consecutive Gold Glove Award, while Ceddanne Rafaela captured his second straight and third baseman Caleb Durbin earned the first of his career.
Abreu's third straight Gold Glove headlines the trio, placing him sixth in Red Sox franchise history for the most Gold Glove Awards. Only Dwight Evans (eight), Carl Yastrzemski (seven), Dustin Pedroia (four), Mookie Betts (four) and Fred Lynn (four) have won more.
That's impressive company for Abreu, whom the Red Sox acquired alongside Enmanuel Valdez from the Astros in exchange for catcher Christian Vázquez at the 2022 trade deadline.
Abreu was outstanding in right field for Boston in 2026, leading all major league players, regardless of position, with 28 defensive runs saved.
A three-peat in right.

The 27-year-old ranked in the 98th percentile in arm strength (95.3 mph), 92nd percentile in arm value (4), 80th percentile in outs above average (2) and 78th percentile in fielding run value (5).
Abreu also used his elite arm strength to lead the American League with 13 outfield assists, further cementing his reputation as one of baseball's premier defensive outfielders.
“It’s been amazing,” Abreu told ESPN during the Gold Glove announcement broadcast Sunday night. “It’s unbelievable, everything that happened to me this year. It was a really good year for me.
“I mean, we start with (winning the World Baseball Classic with Venezuela). That was amazing. That experience, too, I’m gonna remember that experience for the rest of my life. And yeah, I mean, happy and very proud of myself to win another Gold Glove. All the hard work that I’ve been putting on the field is showing up, so I’m very happy, very proud of myself.”
Abreu was the clear-cut choice over Toronto’s Nathan Lukes and Houston’s Cam Smith.

Rafaela continued to showcase his highlight-reel defense in center field, finishing just behind Abreu with 21 defensive runs saved.
The 26-year-old earned his second consecutive Gold Glove Award, beating out Cleveland's Steven Kwan and Texas' Evan Carter.
Rafaela ranked in the 99th percentile in outs above average (16), 98th percentile in fielding run value (16), 93rd percentile in arm strength (92.7 mph) and 73rd percentile in arm value (1).
He also recorded eight outfield assists, further solidifying his reputation as one of the game's premier defensive center fielders.
