Jarren Duran - Adds steal in loss Duran went 0-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Baltimore.
Impact The one time Duran got on base -- via a forceout in the third inning -- he immediate stole his 31st base of the season but was stranded there as the Red Sox finished 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position. The steal puts him tied for fifth in MLB with teammate David Hamilton.

He threw seven four-seam fastballs (topping out at 95.6 mph), one curveball and one slider, per Baseball Savant. Hendriks is confident he'll pitch in the majors this season and could be helpful as the Red Sox attempt to make the postseason.

Kutter Crawford - Allows two hits, takes loss Crawford (8-10) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing three earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four in 5.1 innings.
Impact Crawford pitched well Sunday, throwing just 75 pitches while limiting the potent Orioles offense to just two hits. Unfortunately for Crawford, one of those hits was a solo home run by Adley Rutschman in the fifth, breaking the scoreless tie. Home runs have been a recurring issue for Crawford, who has surrendered a whopping 14 long balls in 29.1 innings since the All-Star break. The right-hander now owns a 4.25 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 133:36 K:BB in 142 innings (25 starts) this season. He lines up to face the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Cooper Criswell - Getting start Wednesday in Houston Criswell is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Astros in Houston.
Impact After returning from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Criswell worked in bulk relief behind opener Brennan Bernardino later that night in the Red Sox's 12-10 win over the Orioles, picking up a win despite allowing six earned runs on nine hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. The poor outing won't prevent him from settling in as the Red Sox's new No. 5 starter in place of James Paxton (calf), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday and is out indefinitely. Criswell lacks strikeout upside but has done a good job inducing weak contact this season (50 percent groundball rate) while accruing a 4.56 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 75 innings with Boston.
