Nick Pivetta - Concedes three homers in loss Pivetta (5-11) took the loss Tuesday against the Rays, allowing four runs on five hits and no walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
Impact After posting three consecutive quality starts, the 31-year-old allowed three home runs in an outing for the first time since May 8 at Atlanta. Thankfully, Pivetta limited the damage by firing his first walk-free start since July 24 and giving up all solo shots. After pitching to a 3.81 ERA across 87.1 innings before the All-Star break, the Boston right-hander has faded a bit in the second half, going 1-4 with a 4.78 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 64:12 K:BB across 52.2 innings. He lines up to make his next start against the Twins at home this weekend.

Bryan Mata - Soreness halts rehab assignment Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Mata (elbow/lat) was pulled off his rehab assignment after experiencing soreness following his Sept. 10 appearance, Christopher Smith of...
Impact The skipper added it's "pretty unlikely" that Mata will pitch for the Red Sox this season. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list all season, first due to a hamstring injury before shoulder, lat and elbow issues cropped up. Mata has embarked on four rehab assignments this year but has been unable to avoid setbacks and other injuries once cleared for game action.

Tanner Houck - On track to start Wednesday Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that there's a "big chance" Houck (shoulder) will start Wednesday's game against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old was scratched from his scheduled start Friday versus the Yankees after receiving extra rest between outings in order to combat a "dead arm" phase, but he's now on the cusp of making his first start since Sept. 5. Assuming Houck pitches Tuesday as indicated by Cora, the right-hander could have some workload limitations while making his first start in two weeks.

Luis García - Starting rehab assignment Garcia (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Garcia is three weeks removed from landing on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, but he is ready to test things out in a game setting. The veteran reliever should rejoin the Red Sox' bullpen in short order if he checks out well. He's been torched for 13 earned runs in 11.1 innings since being acquired by Boston at the trade deadline.

Wikelman Gonzalez - Strong finish at Double-A Gonzalez has a 1.84 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 49:17 K:BB in 44 innings across his last 12 appearances for Double-A Portland.
Impact Gonzalez had a rough stretch from May 10 through June 21, where he gave up 25 earned runs while walking 19 in 24 innings. However, he flipped the script in late-June and into July, logging three straight scoreless appearances to start this run. He's been even better of late, going at least four innings in five straight outings, including seven Ks over five scoreless frames in his last start Sept. 10. Even when Gonzalez is going well, he'll walk a decent amount of batters, but his stuff is good enough to get by if he can just keep his walk rate in a manageable range. He is already on the 40-man roster, so Gonzalez could begin his big-league career out of the bullpen if there is a need in 2025, but he did enough to close this season to keep the long-term dream of starting alive.
