Rafael Devers - X-rays come back negative Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Dodgers that X-rays on Devers' right wrist returned negative, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact Devers was held out of the lineup Sunday after he was hit in the wrist by a pitch late in Saturday's 8-5 win, but he was sent in for X-rays for what appears to be mostly precautionary purposes. As anticipated, the X-rays revealed no structural damage to Devers' wrist, and Cora is hopeful that the star third baseman will return to the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Astros.

Kenley Jansen - Cleared to pitch Sunday Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed that Jansen (hamstring) will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact The veteran closer had been nursing a tight right hamstring since exiting in his most recent appearance Wednesday against the Astros, but he'll be ready to take the hill Sunday if a closing situation arises after he checked out fine while throwing in a live batting practice session Saturday. Jansen has been rock-solid in his age-35 campaign, converting 29 of 32 save chances while submitting a 2.81 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 41.2 innings.

Chris Murphy - Makes return to Boston bullpen The Red Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact He'll provide Boston with another left-handed option capable of covering multiple innings out of the bullpen for at least the next week after fellow lefty reliever Brennan Bernardino was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Sunday. Murphy was optioned to Triple-A following Monday's loss to the Astros but hadn't made any appearances for Worcester since the demotion.

Brennan Bernardino - Goes on COVID-19 IL The Red Sox placed Bernardino on the COVID-19-related injured list Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Boston recalled Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester to provide the team with another left-handed option out of the bullpen while Bernardino is recovering from the virus. As Browne notes, players on the COVID-19 IL are deactivated for a minimum of seven days before being eligible for a return. Bernardino will thus remain off the 26-man active roster until at least next Sunday.

Rafael Devers - Set for X-rays Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Devers, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, will undergo X-rays on his right wrist, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. "...
Impact Based on Cora's characterization of the injury Devers sustained in the eighth inning of Saturday's 8-5 win when he was hit by a pitch, the third baseman may just be getting X-rays out of an abundance of precaution. Luis Urias will cover third base Sunday in place of Devers, who could be back in the lineup Monday versus the Astros if his X-rays confirm that he isn't dealing with any structural damage to the wrist.

Pablo Reyes - Starting Sunday after all Reyes (elbow) will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Though Reyes was initially expected to get the day off after he was pulled from Saturday's 8-5 win with left elbow pain, he'll end up getting his fifth straight start Sunday. The Red Sox scratched third baseman Rafael Devers (wrist) from the lineup to clear a spot for Reyes.

Rafael Devers - Scratched with wrist injury Devers was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent right wrist injury, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Though Boston listed Devers in its initial lineup for the series finale, he'll end up getting a day to heal up after he was struck in the wrist by a pitch during the eighth inning of Saturday's 8-5 win. Devers was able to finish the contest but may be dealing with some swelling or soreness in the wrist a day later. Luis Urias will cover third base in Devers' stead Sunday.
