WHAT'S UP

The Boston Red Sox return for a three game series against the Seattle Mariners.

Boston placed Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain and recalled Mickey Gasper from Triple-A one day after sending him down.

Sonny Gray pushes his next start back to Saturday instead of Tuesday. “I feel fine,” said Gray. “I think it’s just (a matter) of taking a few days, getting my body recovered, fully recovered and that was it. I feel really good. About a month ago, we talked about it and we talked about, ‘Let’s re-evaluate when we get to here,’ so that’s what we did and just made the decision to take a couple of days."
