Daily Red Sox Links: Mitch Moreland, Marco Hernandez, Mookie Betts
Immediately after rejoining the Red Sox roster, Mitch Moreland has gone down with another injury. (Rob Bradford; WEEI) Taking his place on the roster is Marco Hernandez, whose return to the roster is one of the best stories of the year. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe) Mookie Betts knows he has to do better, particularly in the slugging department. (Christopher Smith; Masslive) Trade season unofficially starts up after the draft, and surprise surprise the Red Sox are looking for a reliever. If only there had been one available who only cost money. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)...

Red Sox vs. Rays Game 1 lineup: Let’s (watch them) play two!
It’s the first game of a double-dip this afternoon at the Fens. The Red Sox (33-30) have two games planned against the demon Rays (38-23) this afternoon, the first of which, at 1:05 p.m., has an extremely “early game of a doubleheader” lineup from almost top to bottom. I say “almost” from the top because Mookie Betts is playing and leading off, but Andrew Benintendi and J.D. Martinez are sitting to start the day, because it’s going to be very long and exhausting. Sam Travis starts in left, Christian Vázquez is at DH and Josh A. Smith is BACK for a spot start. They don’t tend...

Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Triston Casas, Roger Clemens
Mookie Betts is continuing to tinker with different facets of his game as he tries to find the best approach to get back to his MVP-caliber level. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston) It’s not just Betts, though. The offense in general doesn’t feel the same as last year, and Alex Cora has noticed that as well. (Christopher Smith; Masslive) To make Friday’s loss even worse, Mitch Moreland had to leave about midway through with a quad injury. (Rob Bradford; WEEI) Austin Meadows is blossoming into a star for the Rays, which is doubly frustrating for the Red Sox considering they could have...

Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Mike Shawaryn Durbin Feltman
Among the reason the Red Sox are still digging themselves out of a hole and do not find themselves where they want to be is that the big hitters have not done what is typically expected of them. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic) ($$) Among those in that category who is struggling relative to expectations: Mookie Betts. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe) The good news is that, despite some continuing struggles, they swept the Royals. As we saw last year, part of the key to being a great team is beating up on the bad teams. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal) ($$) Despite Ryan Weber not making it...

Boston Red Sox Series Preview: Welcome in the champs
These two teams combine for three of the last six World Series titles and four of the last six AL pennants. The Royals return home after another disastrous road trip that saw them win only one game and there to greet them are the world champions, the Boston Red Sox. The Royals can relate a bit to a tough go after a championship, but Boston seems to at least be vaguely climbing out of their early malaise. They started 6-13, but are 24-16 since (a 97-win pace) and seem to be getting straightened out for the most part. Their offense hasn’t gotten otherworldly seasons from Mookie Betts and...

Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, David Price, Terry Francona
We’re not there yet, but the time at which the Red Sox need to make a decision of the direction of the rest of the season is at least coming into view down the road. (Chad Finn; Boston Globe) Mookie Betts hit out of the leadoff spot on Saturday, and you can expect to see that every day moving forward. (Rob Bradford; WEEI) The Red Sox will look to avoid a sweep on Sunday, with the only thing standing in their way being....David Price at Fenway. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston) Don’t expect to see much Dustin Pedroia on the bench for a bit, as he’s taking a break from the team to spend...
