JOSE IGLESIAS NEWS

Runs hit streak to eight Iglesias went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

Impact The last seven games of the eight-game hit streak have been with Iglesias starting at second base. He's been helpful to the Red Sox while they dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak, filling in at middle infield, but the team just got second baseman Christian Arroyo back Tuesday. That could put a crimp in Iglesias' playing time, although manager Alex Cora may not want to futz around with the lineup while Boston's won six straight.

Nabs fourth straight start Iglesias will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Mariners.

Impact Iglesias will stay in the lineup for the fourth straight game, making his third consecutive start at the keystone. Even so, Iglesias can't be counted on to play regularly at second base, especially after Xander Bogaerts recently returned from the COVID-19 injured list. Enrique Hernandez will typically pick up most of the work at the keystone, but he'll shift to center field Wednesday with the lefty-hitting Alex Verdugo taking a seat versus Mariners southpaw Marco Gonzales.

Starting in second straight Iglesias will start at shortstop and bat eighth Wednesday against the Rays.

Impact After coming off the bench in his first game with the Red Sox on Monday, Iglesias started at shortstop in Tuesday's 12-7 loss and went 1-for-4. He'll stick in the lineup for the second straight game and looks like he'll serve as Red Sox's top option at the position until Xander Bogaerts (illness) is ready to return from the COVID-19 injured list.

Signs with Red Sox Iglesias signed a major-league deal with the Red Sox on Monday.

Impact Iglesias hit a BABIP-fueled .373/.400/.556 for the Orioles last season, but he's tumbled right back to his career norms this season, hitting just .259/.295/.375. The Angels saw little reason to give him regular at-bats down the stretch and released him Friday, but he didn't have to wait long to find a new team. The Red Sox are in desperate need of competent players at the moment due to their COVID-19 outbreak, so Iglesias should see time at shortstop in the immediate future, though he'll likely fill a bench role once Xander Bogaerts (illness) is ready to return.

Mayfield will continue to serve as the primary shortstop, while Iglesias will seek out other opportunities to close out the regular season.
