Red Sox's Zach Penrod: Fans seven in return
Penrod allowed two runs on three hits and struck out seven over 2.2 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
Penrod, who had been sidelined since June 6 with a leg injury, started for the WooSox but was not given a long leash in his return. He fanned six of the first seven hitters faced before allowing runs in his third and final frame. The 27-year-old left-hander, whom the Red Sox signed out of independent ball last season, could be a bullpen option for Boston down the stretch.

Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Back at third base
Devers started at third base and went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the Yankees.
Devers was back home at third base after serving as the designated hitter in Boston's previous game Wednesday. He had an injury scare to his shoulder Tuesday, which had prompted the move to DH, and the shoulder appears to be fine. Devers is 7-for-10 with four doubles, three walks, two RBI and three runs scored over the last three contests.

Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Logs pinch hit RBI
Abreu entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 9-7 win over the Yankees.
Abreu was one of several Boston batters to come up with a key hit late that turned New York's 7-4 lead into a Red Sox win. He doubled in a run as a pinch hitter for Tyler O'Neill in the eighth inning and scored one batter later on Masataka Yoshida's two-run single. An inning earlier, Ceddanne Rafaela had a two-run blast to shift momentum. Abreu is strictly a platoon player and is batting .281 with an .863 OPS against righties. He should return to the starting lineup Saturday against right-hander Marcus Stroman.

Red Sox's Kenley Jansen: Hangs on for 20th save
Jansen earned the save in Friday's 9-7 win over the Yankees, working around a pair of hits while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
The Yankees made things interesting in the ninth with a pair of one-out singles. However, Jansen would strike out DJ LeMahieu before coaxing a game-ending groundout from Anthony Volpe to secure his 20th save. Jansen hadn't pitched since Sunday, as he didn't travel with the Red Sox for their series in Colorado earlier this week due to a pre-existing heart condition. Prior to his absence, Jansen had allowed five runs over his previous three appearances (four innings) The veteran closer now sports a 3.06 ERA this season with a 1.19 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Completes bullpen session
Hendricks (elbow) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Hendricks has been ramping up in July, but he has yet to mix in his full array of pitches during a bullpen session. Still, it's an encouraging sign for the 35-year-old in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Hendricks could advance to facing live hitters soon before beginning a rehab assignment.

Red Sox's Chris Martin: Resumes throwing program
Martin (elbow) has resumed throwing and is playing catch, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports Friday.
Martin's throwing program was paused July 13 due to discomfort in his right elbow, but he's beginning to ramp up again. The 38-year-old has been on the injured list since July 5 due to elbow inflammation and seems to be multiple weeks away from returning.

Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Taking seat against southpaw

Red Sox's Bryan Mata: Shifts to 60-day IL
Mata (elbow/lat) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
The right-hander went down with a hamstring strain in March and has also dealt with shoulder and lat issues since May, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. However, Mata recently experienced elbow inflammation during his rehab assignment, so he likely won't be back with the Red Sox in the near future.

Red Sox's James Paxton: Shipping back up to Boston
The Red Sox acquired Paxton from the Dodgers on Friday for minor-league infielder Moises Bolivar, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Paxton's swing-and-miss stuff has disappeared this season, as he managed just 64 strikeouts over 89.1 innings with the Dodgers before he was designated for assignment earlier this week. However, he fanned 101 in 96 frames with the Red Sox just last season, and a return to Boston could help him recapture some of form he displayed in 2023. Paxton may step in and replace Cooper Criswell as Boston's No. 5 starter, though the Red Sox may have starting roles available for both pitchers if they expand the rotation to six men.

Red Sox's Zach Penrod: Coming off IL on Friday
Penrod (shin) will return from Triple-A Worcester's 7-day injured list to start Friday against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
A 27-year-old lefty whom the Red Sox signed out of independent ranks last August, Penrod had been one of the organization's better upper-level starters before he landed on the IL on June 9 with left shin inflammation. He'll slot back into the Worcester rotation this weekend, but since he didn't head out on a rehab assignment beforehand, he could be limited from a workload standpoint in his return to the mound. Penrod has turned in a 2.91 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 61:20 K:BB across 43.1 innings between Worcester and Double-A Portland this season.

Red Sox's Triston Casas: Could start rehab games this week
Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Thursday that Casas (ribs) has been taking full batting practice and could be ready to begin a rehab assignment by the end of the week, Chris Henrique of MLB.com reports.
The Red Sox have given mixed messages on the status of Casas' progress in recent days, but Breslow's statement Thursday certainly qualifies as the most favorable update that's been offered. If Casas is indeed ready for rehab games in the coming days, he could have a shot to return from the 60-day injured list by early or mid-August. The first baseman has been sidelined since late April with a cartilage tear in his left ribcage.
