Connor Wong - Receives Sunday off Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Wong went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored during Saturday's victory, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale in New York. Reese McGuire will work behind the plate and bat eighth.

Triston Casas - Out as expected Sunday Casas (tooth) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact The 23-year-old will be sidelined for the second consecutive game due to a tooth infection. Manager Alex Cora previously indicated Monday as the target date for Casas to rejoin the lineup. Justin Turner will receive another look at first base Sunday in the Bronx.

Nick Pivetta - Working in bulk relief Sunday Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Pivetta will work as a bulk reliever in Sunday's game against the Yankees behind opening pitcher Josh Winckowski, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic repor...
Impact Pivetta operated as a traditional starter in both of his last two appearances, but he'll return to a familiar bulk-relief role Sunday while the Red Sox deploy him behind Winckowski, who is unlikely to work more than 1-to-3 innings before being pulled from the contest. The arrangement should improve Pivetta's odds of factoring into any decision, though it may take some strikeout upside off the table while he presumably covers fewer innings than he might as a traditional starter. The Red Sox are expected to get Tanner Houck (face) back from the 15-day injured list either Monday or Tuesday and plan on having him fill a spot in the rotation, so PIvetta could end up sticking in a bullpen role permanently moving forward.

Josh Winckowski - Serving as opener Sunday Winckowski will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact After making 14 starts for Boston as a rookie in 2022, Winckowski has worked exclusively as a reliever for the Red Sox thus far in his second season in the majors. Though he'll be serving as a starter for the first time in 45 appearances, Winckowski is unlikely to cover more than 1-to-3 innings before turning the game over to Nick Pivetta, whom manager Alex Cora said will work the bulk of the innings in relief. Winckowski enters Sunday's contest with a 3.20 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 57:18 K:BB in 64.2 innings to go with three wins, two saves and 15 holds.

Luis Urías - Launches another grand slam Urias started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact Urias belted his second grand slam in as many games. Thursday's granny came on his final at-bat, and Saturday's shot came on the first pitch of his first plate appearance, giving him grand slams on consecutive pitches, the first Red Sox player to achieve that feat. Since Trevor Story came off the 60-day injured list in early August, Urias has shared second base with Pablo Reyes.
AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Turner - Plays field Saturday Turner started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact Turner hadn't played the field since July 30, because the Red Sox are trying to keep him off his feet as much as possible while battling a bruised left heel. A last-minute adjustment to Saturday's lineup was needed when Triston Casas (tooth) was scratched. Earlier this week, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Pablo Reyes would assume the backup duties at first base due to Turner's condition, but the manager wanted to give Trevor Story (0-for-16) a breather and Reyes filled in at shortstop. Casas may not be available for Sunday, so if Story returns to play shortstop, Reyes could take over at first base while Turner serves as the DH.

Triston Casas - Expected out Sunday Casas (tooth) is expected to be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Casas was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a tooth infection. He had the tooth drained at an area hospital, and Red Sox manager Alex Cora is targeting Monday for the first baseman's return. Justin Turner switched from designated hitter to first base Saturday.

Pablo Reyes - Collects three hits, stolen base Reyes went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Yankees.
Impact Reyes reached base in each of his first four trips to the plate and drove home Masataka Yoshida with a ground rule double in the top of the eighth. The shortstop also swiped a bag in the contest for only the third time this season and he's now hit safely in four of his last five games. Furthermore, it marked his sixth multi-hit game this month, raising his season average to .322.
AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Devers - Homers, tallies three hits Devers went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact Devers singled in each of his first two at-bats before crushing a solo homer in the top of the ninth, which served as the final death blow to New York on the afternoon. It was the third baseman's second consecutive game with three hits and he's now homered in two of his last three contests, racking up five RBI over that stretch to go along with four runs scored.
AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kutter Crawford - Allows one hit in win Crawford (6-6) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks over six innings against the Yankees while striking out five.
Impact Crawford didn't allow a hit until the bottom of the sixth when Giancarlo Stanton tagged him for a solo home run on a hanging four-seamer. That would be the only hit surrendered by the right-hander on the afternoon as the Red Sox backed him with plenty of run support to help him earn his sixth win of the season. Crawford has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last five starts, while Saturday marked just the fourth time this season in which he's hurled at least six innings.
