Nick Pivetta - Set to start Monday Pivetta will start Monday's game against the Mariners, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Pivetta was an option to pitch behind opener Brennan Bernardino during Sunday's game against the Giants, but he didn't enter the game and will instead serve as the starter for Monday's series opener in Seattle. Over his last three outings, the right-hander has struck out 19 in 12 scoreless innings.

Chris Murphy - Fills bulk-relief role Sunday Murphy allowed an unearned run on four hits and struck out one without walking a batter over 3.1 innings Sunday versus the Giants. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Murphy was ultimately the bulk reliever in the Red Sox's bullpen game, rather than Nick Pivetta. The 25-year-old Murphy didn't enter the game until the fourth inning, but he still delivered solid pitching, though he was never in line for the win. The southpaw is now at a 1.59 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 27:11 K:BB over 28.1 innings through nine relief appearances in the majors this season. Boston's rotation remains something of an enigma to project, but Murphy should be next be available for a bulk-relief outing over the upcoming weekend series at home versus the Blue Jays.

Joely Rodríguez - Heading to injured list Rodriguez will be placed on the 15-day injured list with hip tightness Monday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Rodriguez has missed significant time with injuries this year, as he was unavailable for the start of the regular season due to an oblique strain before missing just over a month with a shoulder issue. He returned to action in early July and tossed seven scoreless innings over six appearances, but he'll now head back to the injured list due to a hip injury. However, manager Alex Cora downplayed the severity of Rodriguez's current injury and said he might be able to return after missing the minimum of 15 days.

Jarren Duran - On bench to open Sunday's game Duran is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact The lefty-hitting Duran will be riding pine to begin the game while southpaw Scott Alexander opens the game for the Giants, but Duran could be a candidate to replace Rob Refsnyder in the outfield once right-handed primary pitcher Ross Stripling is summoned from the San Francisco bullpen. Duran has continued to thrive at the dish coming out of the All-Star break, as he's produced a .279/.354/.419 slash line with one home run and four stolen bases through his first 13 second-half contests.

Yu Chang - Takes seat in series finale Chang is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Pablo Reyes will step in at shortstop after Chang manned the position for each of the last 11 games while slashing .194/.242/.355. Both Chang and Reyes are expected to see more limited opportunities at shortstop in the near future, as Trevor Story (elbow) appears on track to return from the 60-day injured list at some point during the upcoming week.

Connor Wong - Resting Sunday Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Wong will get a well-deserved breather after he started at catcher in each of Boston's previous five games. Jorge Alfaro will form a battery with starting pitcher Brennan Bernardino in Sunday's series finale.

Triston Casas - Gets day off Casas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact The Giants are using a left-hander (Scott Alexander) as their opening pitcher, and while the lefty-hitting Casas will bow out of the lineup to begin game, it wouldn't be surprising if Casas came off the bench once right-handed primary pitcher Ross Stripling is summoned from the San Francisco bullpen. Though he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 3-2 loss, Casas had been on fire beforehand, slashing .455/.547/1.045 over the prior 14 games.

Masataka Yoshida - Gets break Saturday Yoshida did not start in Saturday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco. He walked as a pinch hitter and scored a run in the ninth inning.

Impact Yoshida was hitless over his last eight at-bats, including four groundouts to the right side of the infield in Friday's win. According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Red Sox have learned when Yoshida hits a lot of groundballs to the right side, it's a sign he could use some rest. "I talked to him (Saturday) and he feels OK," Boston manager Alex Cora said. "But we're giving him today, let's see how it plays out, maybe (Sunday) too, you never know, and just get him ready for the week." Prior to the dry spell, Yoshida raked since the All-Star break with a slash line of .349/.378/.605.

Triston Casas - Moved to cleanup Casas batted fourth and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Impact The ridiculously hot Casas, who had a six-game hitting streak snapped in the loss, batted cleanup for the third time this season and the first time since consecutive games in April. The first baseman has been on a tear, hitting four home runs during his six-game streak. Prior to Saturday, Casas led MLB in on-base percentage (.568), slugging percentage (1.139) and OPS (1.707). was tied for the lead in homers (seven) and second in batting average (.472) since the All-Star break.

Chris Sale - Confirmed for rehab start Sale (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Sale is scheduled to pitch three innings for the WooSox, then make a second rehab start the following Sunday. At that point the Red Sox will reassess the left-hander and decide on the next step. It's possible Sale could rejoin Boston's rotation as soon as the team's series against the Tigers, which begins Friday, Aug. 11. Red Sox manager Alex Cora previously stated the club is considering bringing Sale back before he's completely built up. If he does return for the series with the Tigers, Sale could be used as an opener who would go three or four innings, then pitch deeper into games as he builds arm strength.
