James Paxton - Settles for quality start Wednesday Paxton came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Nationals, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.
Impact Both runs the veteran lefty allowed came on solo shots, and Paxton exited the game in line for his fourth loss of the year until Boston tied the game in the top of the eighth inning. The quality start was his first in August and eighth in 16 outings. Paxton sports a 3.34 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 93:23 K:BB through 86.1 innings on the season, and his next trip to the mound is likely to come early next week in Houston.

Justin Turner - Limited to DH Turner will be limited to designated hitter duty while he plays through a bone bruise in his left heel, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Turner missed seven of 10 games at the start of August as returned, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora said playing the field is "off the table for a while." Turner will continue to serve as the DH as long as he's healthy. He's 5-for-16 with two home runs since returning to the lineup four games ago.

Pablo Reyes - Will backup at first base Boston manager Alex Cora said Reyes will serve as the backup first baseman while Justin Turner plays through a bone bruise on his left heel, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Turner is limited to designated hitter duty for the time being, so Cora said Reyes will play first base whenever Tristan Casas sits. Reyes has never played first base in the majors, but he's had a reliable bat of late, which the manager could use if needed. Reyes, who popped a two-run home run Wednesday, is batting .394 (13-for-33) with two home runs, three doubles, six RBI and seven runs scored over the last nine games.

Masataka Yoshida - Enters Wednesday's game off bench Yoshida went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Washington.
Impact Yoshida entered the game as a pinch hitter and finished in left field. He'd been held out of the starting lineup the first two games of the series. Including Monday's off day, that would have been three full days off for the outfielder. As manager Alex Cora explained to MLB.com, Yoshida is adapting to a more rigorous travel schedule than he was accustomed to in Japan. ""He's doing well. Like I said, we have to take care of him," said Cora. "There's nothing going on. We're just staying away from him for now." Yoshida is expected to start the series finale Thursday.
