Eovaldi and the Red Sox won't face the Rangers on Sunday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

With Hurricane Henri expected to make landfall in Long Island or Southern New England on Sunday, the Red Sox opted to postpone the contest out of an abundance of caution. The two teams are scheduled to make up the game Monday at 1:10 p.m. ET, weather permitting. Eovaldi, who was scheduled to start Sunday, will presumably be pushed back one day in the pitching schedule to take the hill for Boston in the series finale.

Allard and the Rangers won't face the Red Sox on Sunday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

With Hurricane Henri expected to make landfall in Long Island or Southern New England on Sunday, the Red Sox opted to postpone the contest out of an abundance of caution. The two teams are scheduled to make up the game Monday at 1:10 p.m. ET, weather permitting. Allard, who was scheduled to start Sunday, will presumably be pushed back one day in the pitching schedule to take the hill for Texas in the series finale.

Rodriguez (9-7) took the loss against Texas on Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three over 3.2 innings.

The left-hander came into the outing with a 1.10 ERA over his past three starts, but he couldn't keep things going against the Rangers. Rodriguez made it through the first inning unscathed but gave up a pair of runs in the second. He was then chased in the fourth after allowing a pair of doubles and a single, resulting in two runs. The final tally against Rodriguez came after he left the contest. He'll look to put the poor outing behind him in his next start, which is lined up to come at Cleveland next Friday.

Lyles (6-10) earned the win over the Red Sox on Saturday, pitching seven innings and allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six.

Lyles came into Saturday's contest having given up 17 earned runs over his past 17 innings, but he was markedly better against a potent Boston offense. The right-hander matched his season high with seven innings and allowed fewer than two runs for the fourth time this season to snap a five-decision losing streak. He'll carry a 5.33 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at home against Houston next weekend.

McKenzie (3-5) earned the win over the Angels on Saturday. He allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven-plus innings.

The right-hander continues to impress of late, as he's strung together four straight quality starts. A fielder's choice in the eighth inning produced the only run the Angels could muster against McKenzie in the contest. The 24-year-old has lowered his ERA from 6.11 at the end of July to 4.83 after his recent hot streak. He's added a 1.15 WHIP and 107:47 K:BB in 91.1 innings overall. McKenzie is projected to draw a tough home start versus Boston in next weekend's three-game series.

Detmers (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings as he took the loss versus Cleveland on Saturday.

While the southpaw did little to help his own cause, the Angels mustered only four baserunners in the contest to support him. Detmers' biggest mistake was a three-run blast by Jose Ramirez in the third inning. The Angels' first-round pick from 2020 has struggled to a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across his first 19 big-league innings. He's projected for a tough home matchup versus San Diego next weekend.

Smyly (9-3) earned the win over Baltimore on Saturday, pitching five innings and allowing three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out eight.

The southpaw gave up a trio of solo homers in the contest, but those were the only runs the Orioles mustered. Smyly tied a season high with eight strikeouts and extended his streak of outings without a loss to 14. He hasn't been especially dominant in that span but has managed a 7-0 record along with a 3.67 ERA and 67:24 K:BB across 68.2 innings. He'll try to keep things going in next his start, which is lined up to come against the Giants at home next weekend.

Gausman allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus Oakland on Saturday.

It was another unconvincing start for Gausman, as a costly first-inning error by Wilmer Flores ultimately allowed three unearned runs to score. Gausman also gave up a run on a wild pitch in the fourth prior to Jarlin Garcia relieving him. Through 146 innings, Gausman has posted a 2.47 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 174:46 K:BB across 25 starts, but he's given up 22 runs (18 earned) in his last 31.1 innings since the All-Star break. He'll look to get back on track in a tough road matchup in Atlanta during next weekend's three-game series.

Hill (6-5) took the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers. He allowed three runs on six hits and struck out two in five innings.

This was the 41-year-old's first loss as a Met. All three runs Hill allowed came on solo home runs. It marks the second time in his last five starts that Hill's allowed multiple homers, although he kept the ball in the yard in the other three outings. For the year, he owns a 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 107:43 K:BB across 122 innings. The southpaw lines up for a home start versus Washington during next weekend's three-game series.

Lorenzen allowed two hits and struck out one over 1.2 innings of scoreless work, picking up the save in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

Lorenzen inherited a tricky two-on, one-out situation in the eighth inning with the Reds up by three Saturday night. Although he allowed one of his inherited runners to score, he induced a double play ball from Bryan De La Cruz to escape the jam. He benefitted from another double play in the ninth to pick up his second save of the season. After returning from a hamstring injury July 30, the right-hander has yet to allow an earned run in 10 outings. If he can remain healthy, he's likely to work in some of the Reds' high-leverage situations alongside Mychal Givens.
