Red Sox Injury Update: Trio of pitchers take the next step toward recovery
Looking ahead for the Red Sox
There’s a lot of season left and in the same breath there really isn’t July only has a few days left in it and then it’s onto the playoff push for the Red Sox. Today’s massive, league-leading comeback victory gave them a series win against the Yankees while also giving them the season series win over the Bronx Bombers. At the same time, the Tampa Bay Rays lose their game against the Guardians and now Boston has sole possession of first place again.

This team is clicking in a way that we haven’t seen since the 2013 squad. While 2018 was the most dominant team in franchise history they never felt threatened. This roster is fighting for every win on every night and the level of heart that they’re showing means they’re never out of it. They’re spent a majority of the season atop the AL East and they sure as hell don’t want to let that grip slip this close to the end.
Getting back E-Rod this week and potentially Sale within the next couple of weeks instantly makes the Red Sox a postseason favorite. If Brasier can continue his road to health and recovery he could play a factor once October comes and the serious work begins. All I know is that watching this team day in and day out has been a highlight of 2021 and seeing some of these arms back on the mound will only make it that much better.

Next on the schedule is a four-game homestand against the Toronto Blue Jays, who the Sox just slaughtered up in Buffalo. This would complete 13 games against the AL East in 15 days with three games against Tampa coming right after the Jays series. This three-week stand is beyond important for Boston and if they can come out with a winning record they could be knocking at the postseason door.
