After Mayer’s injury, the Red Sox recalled infielder David Hamilton, and though Hamilton will see some time at second, Rafaela’s offense has been too valuable to the lineup. Playing him at second and Duran in center makes the offense stronger. The moving parts have been a challenge for manager Alex Cora much of the season and even more so now.

Red Sox rookie sensation Roman Anthony found himself right in the middle of another big win over the Dodgers on Sunday. So much so, in fact, that two teammates with World Series rings offered lofty comps for the 21-year-old.

In the fifth inning, Anthony drilled an opposite-field RBI triple against Dodgers starter Dustin May and Bregman followed by blasting a two-run homer over the Monster Seats to put the Sox ahead, 4-3.
