As a result, they had to make the following roster move today, which lands Jack Anderson in a big league uniform for the first time:The #RedSox today announced the following roster moves: pic.twitter.com/DLBX63pB8b— Red Sox (@RedSox) April 14, 2026Ideally, Boston won’t need the middle relief tonight and Sonny Gray will just continue the success of his last two outings.

Given the importance of Crochet & Gray part of the rotation, this is a pretty big start for April 14th. What’s also a pretty big start for April 14th is Roman Anthony retuning to left field as it’s just the third time he’s started a game out there this month. Given his recent struggles and inconsistent throws, there’s a good chance he’ll get a shot at an assist tonight as teams will be running on him until he gets over whatever’s going on there.The other lineup note is that Ceddanne Rafaela is the odd man out tonight in the “five guys need to fit into four spots between DH and the outfield” puzzle Craig Breslow gave Alex Cora.Today’s LineupsRED SOXTWINSRoman Anthony – LFByron Buxton – CFCaleb Durbin – 3BTrevor Larnach – LFMasataka Yoshida – DHLuke Keaschall – 2BWillson Contreras – 1BJosh Bell – DHWilyer Abreu – RFMatt Wallner – RFTrevor Story – SSVictor Caratini – CJarren Duran – CFKody Clemens – 1BCarlos Narvaez – CBrooks Lee – SSIsiah Kiner-Falefa – 2BTristan Gray – 3BSonny Gray – RHPMick Abel – RHP⚾️ First Pitch: 7:40 pm – Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota📺 TV: NESN+📻 Radio: WEEI
