Duran went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.
After Boston was held quiet early by Ty Madden, Duran flipped the game with one swing, launching a three-run homer off Ricky Vanasco in the seventh inning to give the Red Sox the lead. The blast was his fourth of the season and third in his last four games. The outfielder also added his sixth stolen base of the year, continuing to contribute on the bases. Despite the recent production, Duran's overall line remains dull, as he's now slashing .203/.260/.347 with 18 RBI across 127 plate appearances.

Chapman earned the save Monday against the Tigers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Dominates for first MLB win
Rotowire
Tolle (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Tigers, allowing two unearned runs on one hit and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings.
Tolle was dominant from the start, retiring 15 of the first 16 hitters he faced. The only damage against him came via two unearned runs in the sixth inning after a walk and hit-by-pitch, followed by a throwing error. Otherwise, Tolle was in full command, working efficiently (83 pitches) into the seventh inning for the first time in his career while piling up eight strikeouts. After being denied wins in previous strong outings, the 23-year-old finally secured his first MLB victory and, given this performance, there's no reason he shouldn't see multiple more starts in the rotation. Tolle is scheduled to start against Tampa Bay this weekend.
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Working as bulk reliever Tuesday
Rotowire
Bello will be deployed as the bulk reliever for Tuesday's game against Detroit, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Bello has struggled to work deep into outings in the early going of the 2026 campaign, so the Red Sox are electing to utilize an opener Tuesday. The right-hander, who owns a 9.17 ERA and 2.15 WHIP over his last four appearances (17.2 innings), will follow Jovani Moran.

Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Working as opener Tuesday
Rotowire
Moran will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Moran will presumably work the first inning or so before making way for Brayan Bello, who is expected to serve as the team's bulk reliever Tuesday. Moran is off to a strong start to the 2026 season and has delivered a 2.33 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 17 strikeouts across 19.1 innings.
Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Set to visit hand specialist
Rotowire
X-rays on Anthony's right wrist returned negative, but he'll fly to Boston on Tuesday morning to see a hand specialist, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
This appears to be a precautionary measure by the club to ensure Anthony avoided a significant injury. Boston is scheduled to play two more games in Detroit, so the 21-year-old will presumably miss the remainder of the series, with the hope that he'll be back in the starting lineup Thursday against Tampa Bay. Masatake Yoshida will be a candidate to see more at-bats in Anthony's absence.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Diagnosed with wrist injury
Rotowire
Anthony was removed from Monday's game against the Tigers due to right wrist discomfort, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Anthony appeared to tweak his right wrist during his plate appearance in the first inning and was replaced by Masataka Yoshida in the second. Anthony will undergo more tests on his wrist to determine the severity of the injury, by which time the Red Sox should provide an update on the young outfielder's status moving forward.

Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Exits with possible wrist injury
Rotowire
Anthony was removed from Monday's game versus the Tigers with a possible wrist injury, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Anthony tweaked something on a swing during his first plate appearance of the game in the first inning. He finished that at-bat but was then removed in favor of Masataka Yoshida. The Red Sox should have an update on Anthony's condition soon.
Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Receives first big-league call-up
Rotowire
The Red Sox selected Gamboa's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
Back in December, Gamboa signed a minor-league deal with Boston that contained an upward mobility clause that could be triggered if he wasn't promoted by May 1. With Gamboa electing to exercise that clause, the Red Sox will add him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster rather than risk losing him to another organization. The 29-year-old southpaw had been working out of the Triple-A rotation, but he'll likely be relegated to a low-leverage, multi-inning relief role for Boston after posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 13 frames for Worcester.

Red Sox's Danny Coulombe: Heads to IL with neck injury
Rotowire
The Red Sox placed Coulombe on the 15-day injured list Monday with cervical spasms.
It's unclear how long his neck has been bothering him, but Coulombe last pitched Friday. The lefty has yielded five runs with a 5:3 K:BB over eight innings out of the Boston bullpen this season. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be filled by Alec Gamboa.

Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Shuffled to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Red Sox transferred Sandoval (biceps/elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
While working his way back from the June 2024 internal brace surgery he required on his left elbow, Sandoval hit a setback in late April, when he was pulled off his rehab assignment after experiencing tightness in his left biceps. Though additional testing on his arm revealed nothing overly concerning, Sandoval has yet to restart his throwing program, making it unclear when he might be ready to resume his minor-league assignment. The move to the 60-day IL won't affect Sandoval's timeline for making his Red Sox debut, as he wasn't on track to be activated by late May following the recent setback.

Red Sox's Caleb Durbin: Out of lineup Monday
Rotowire
Durbin is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Detroit.
It appears to be a routine day off for Durbin, who had started each of the previous 16 contests. The Red Sox will roll out Andruw Monasterio at third base in Monday's series opener.
Gray (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session Monday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Gray will throw off a mound for the second time in four days, after he faced batters Friday. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said the club will evaluate the right-hander and discuss next steps following Monday's session. The first day that Gray can be activated from the 15-day injured list will be Wednesday, and Gray could be in play to start the Red Sox's series finale in Detroit that day. If the Red Sox elect to give Gray more time to build back up before activating him, Jake Bennett would be in line for another turn through the rotation Wednesday.

Red Sox's Anthony Eyanson: Moving up to Double-A
Rotowire
The Red Sox promoted Eyanson from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland on Sunday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Eyanson will make the leap to the Double-A level after dominating to the tune of a 0.44 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 34:3 K:BB in 20.1 innings spanning five starts with Greenville to open the season. The No. 87 overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Eyanson, 21, is quickly establishing himself as one of the top pitching prospects in the Red Sox organization.

He took over the leadoff spot against right-handers recently and has hit safely in three straight contests after an initial 0-for-13 run over his first three games atop the order.
