WHAT'S UP

The Boston Red Sox continue their series agains the Arizona Diamondbacks after last night's 11-1 victory. 

Garrett Crochet spent Tuesday afternoon playing catch on the Fenway Park field. “I’m quite hopeful,” Crochet said before throwing on Tuesday. “I’m not gonna say (when), because I don’t know. The past couple times I’ve been like, ‘Oh yeah, I probably don’t even need to go on the IL and here I (expletive) am, four months later. Right now, I’m trying to practice delayed gratification with myself. Unless I’m crossing the finish line, I’m not going to start celebrating.”

An MRI revealed a “significant” strain on Masataka Yoshida's left hamstring, Tracy said. With just 37 games left in the regular season, a return remains unclear unless the Red Sox make some noise in the postseason.

Tanner Houck threw a live bullpen session on Tuesday.
