Red Sox Vs. White Sox Lineups: Trevor Story Returns Amid Playoff Chase The Red Sox will have Trevor Story back in the middle matchup of their series against the White Sox, and there will be other lineup changes.
Isaiah Campbell - Moved to 60-day IL The Red Sox recalled Campbell (elbow) from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday and placed him on the 60-day injured list, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Trevor Story (shoulder), who's being activated from the 60-day IL on Saturday. Campbell hasn't pitched since July 13 and it's unclear if he'll be healthy before the regular season ends.

Mickey Gasper - Sent down to Triple-A The Red Sox optioned Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Gasper will give way to Trevor Story (shoulder) on the active roster as Story returns from the 60-day injured list. Gasper failed to log a hit in 16 plate appearances with the Red Sox but holds a 1.179 OPS at Triple-A.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Story - Officially activated Story (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Story draws the start at shortstop and will bat seventh for the Red Sox on Saturday, marking the 31-year-old's first MLB showing since suffering a dislocated shoulder in early April. Story appeared in four rehab games prior to being activated and notched four hits in his final minor-league outing.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Enmanuel Valdez - Scores winning run Friday Valdez started at second base and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Impact Valdez walked and scored the winning run on Ceddanne Rafaela's home run in the seventh inning. Valdez, who's started three of the last four games, may be losing opportunities going forward. The Red Sox plan to reinstate Trevor Story (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday, which means he'll start at shortstop and Rafaela will move to second base.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Ceddanne Rafaela - Will move to second base Rafaela is expected to move to second base Saturday when shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) will be activated off the injured list, MLB.com reports.
Impact Second base has been a revolving door all year long for the Red Sox, whose second baseman have combined for a league-lows in batting average (.196) and OPS (.535). The position had been designated for Vaughn Grissom, but injuries, setbacks and performance in the minors prevented that plan from being executed. Rafaela, whose two-run home run was the winning blow Friday, has slumped of late, going 5-for-36 (.139) with 14 strikeouts over the last 11 contests.

Josh Winckowski - Earns first save Winckowski threw a perfect inning and earned a save against the White Sox on Friday.
Impact Winckowski made his second appearance since being recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 27. In those two outings, he's combined to toss four scoreless innings, dropping his season ERA to 4.10. Boston's ninth-inning job appears to be somewhat open at the moment with Kenley Jansen (lat) out. Winckowski now has four career saves, with the previous three coming during the 2023 campaign.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Pivetta - Delivers quality start Pivetta allowed a run on five hits and three walks over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out six during the win over the White Sox.
Impact Pivetta gave up a run in the second inning but was able to avoid any further damage despite some shaky command. It was his second straight quality start after failing to finish at least six innings in his previous three outings. Pivetta has produced a 4.39 ERA while going 0-2 over his last five appearances and he hasn't earned a win since July 29. He's sporting a 4.38 ERA with a 147:31 K:BB through 123.1 innings this season. Pivetta is in line for a home matchup against the Orioles next week.
SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Kenley Jansen - Unavailable due to lat issue Jansen was unavailable to pitch Friday against the White Sox, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact The Red Sox had a save situation in Friday's game, but Josh Winckowski was the pitcher to convert the chance. There was no specific timeline given, but Jansen did say that he wouldn't pitch again until the issue is fully resolved. As a result, save chances could open up in Boston for the final month of the season.
