WHAT'S UP

The Boston Red Sox look to get their first win of the home stand after getting swept by the Twins this weekend.

For the first time since April 29, Crochet faced hitters by throwing a one-inning simulated game at Fenway Park on Tuesday afternoon.

Willson Contreras was named the American League Player of the Week after hitting .458 (11-for-24) with two homers, eight RBIs, two triples, a walk and five runs scored over six games.
