Ryan Sherriff - Extends scoreless stretch SundaySherriff secured his first hold in a win over the Red Sox on Sunday, firing a scoreless one-third of an inning during which he recorded a strikeout.
ImpactThe 31-year-old has now logged 2.1 scoreless innings over the three appearances he's already logged since being recalled from Triple-A Durham on July 25, and he has four straight scoreless efforts at the big-league level overall this season. Sherriff's bloated 6.14 ERA and 1.77 WHIP is largely the result of one very poor outing against the Nationals back on June 30, but he's otherwise proven a reliable left-handed option out of the bullpen.

Hansel Robles - Makes team debutRobles (illness) worked around a base hit to turn in a scoreless sixth inning Sunday in Boston's 3-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
ImpactBefore the Red Sox acquired him from the Twins on Friday, Robles had exited early in his final relief appearance with Minnesota after experiencing dizziness. The right-hander was apparently able to make a swift recovery, and he was able to make his Boston debut Sunday without issue. He needed only seven pitches to retire the side in the bottom of the sixth.
