Rafael Devers - Held out again Wednesday Devers (shoulders) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Impact Devers is battling soreness in both shoulders and will receive a second straight day off. It's something that's plagued him off and on this season but at this point is merely viewed as a day-to-day situation. Romy Gonzalez will draw a second straight start at third base in Devers' stead.

Jarren Duran - Flashes tools in Tuesday's win Duran went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact The 27-year-old outfielder led off the game by hooking a Yariel Rodriguez fastball around Pesky's Pole down the right-field line, continuing a blistering stretch that has seen Duran slash .372/.449/.860 over his last 11 games. Tuesday's blast gave him his first career 20-20 campaign -- he's got 20 homers and 32 steals in 130 contests -- and Duran capped off his impressive performance with outfield assists in each of the first two innings, tying him with Ian Happ for the MLB lead at 11.

Cooper Criswell - Early exit Tuesday Criswell came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.
Impact He needed 72 pitches (46 strikes) to record 10 outs, and Criswell benefitted from some sloppy baserunning by Toronto just to do that well. The right-hander has thrown more than 70 pitches in three straight outings but has failed to last five innings in any of them, posting a 6.35 ERA, 2.29 WHIP and 5:8 K:BB in 11.1 frames over that rough stretch. The Red Sox have fallen four games back of the Twins for the final wild-card spot in the AL, and Criswell could have a very short leash in the rotation as a result. He currently lines up to make his next start on the road this weekend in Detroit.

Bailey Horn - Sent back to minors The Red Sox optioned Horn to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.
Impact Horn was the appointed 27th man as the Red Sox resumed a suspended game and played a regularly scheduled contest versus the Blue Jays on Monday. He retired the only batter he faced in the nightcap.
