The Boston Red Sox designated pitcher Matt Dermody for assignment, hours after he made his first major league start in a loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday night, multiple outlets reported. Dermody was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday afternoon for the spot start and gave up three runs on four hits and a walk in four innings in the 10-3 loss. In his major league career, the left-hander has a 2-1 record with a 5.74 ERA in 31 games with the Toronto Blue Jays (2016-17), Chicago Cubs (2020, 2022) and Red Sox.

The Red Sox and Yankees have met twice in the postseason over the past five MLB seasons, with Boston emerging victorious in both the 2018 ALDS and the 2021 AL Wild Card Game. Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes was candid when it came to where Boston sits in New York’s pecking order of divisional foes.

Worcester Red Sox 5, Rochester Red Wings 4 milb.com milb.com The Worcester Red Sox put together a nice three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning last night for a comeback 5-4 win over the Rochester Red Wings. Trailing 4-2, Niko Goodrum delivered a two-run single to tie it, followed by Triple-A superstar Bobby Dalbec’s RBI single to take the lead. Dalbec now possesses a 1.046 OPS over his multiple stints in the minors this season, while also delivering his eighth steal! Dalbec’s sprint speed always graded out in the top 25% while in the MLB and it’s great to see it on display (in Worcester). Bradley Zimmer had three hits, a home run, and a steal out of the nine-hole, and Nick Sogard

Many talents who routinely peppered the Green Monster at Fenway usually got their first licks in against the similar “Maine Monster” up in Portland. Mayer, tabbed as MLB.com’s No. 5 prospect, may be the headliner on Portland’s roster this summer. “I love those guys in there,” Mayer said of his new teammates. Mayer, who turned a double play with Yorke on Tuesday night against Akron, already has plenty history with the second baseman.

Here are five things to watch when the Yankees host the rival Boston Red Sox in a three-game series starting on Friday…

Put him in, Coach. He’s ready to play.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora is hopeful Yu Chang will be back with the ballclub in the very near future after the versatile infielder underwent surgery on a hamate bone injury April 28. Chang, who initially suffered the injury April 24 and experienced a setback in late May, has been rehabbing in Triple-A Worcester the past week. Cora is hopeful he’ll be able to return when the Red Sox arrive back to Fenway Park on Monday after a three-game weekend series against the New York Yankees. “He’s playing the rest of the weekend (in Worcester) and hopefully he can join us when we get back home,” Cora told reporters Thursday, per MassLive’s Christopher Smith, before the Red Sox were dealt a 10-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.

Ex-Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona has seen plenty of his former players go on to coach, including Minnesota Twins’ Rocco Baldelli, Los Angeles Dodgers’ Dave Roberts and Boston’s own Alex Cora. Since former Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia’s retirement in February 2021, he has spent his time with his wife, Kelli, and their three kids in Arizona. One question remains: Will Pedroia ever become a manager someday and be added to Francona?s large group of managerial offspring?

Scheduled to catch ceremonial first pitch Friday from Toronto LGBTQ+ activist, Anthony Bass says he means “no harm towards any groups of people.”

Cleveland Guardians infielder Jose Ramirez is hitting .267 with nine home runs and 36 RBIs through 59 games this season. Ramirez homered in the first, third and sixth innings of the lopsided victory Thursday at Progressive Field. “It was one of those good games where everything goes your way,” Ramirez said on the Bally Sports broadcast.

He gave up playing baseball to focus on football in high school. Nearly eight years later, Shane Drohan is a top pitching prospect for the Red Sox.

While celebrating the Cuban heritage of his late father, Pedro Gomez also received a surprise visit from his mom Thursday in his start for the WooSox.

Amed Rosario and Josh Naylor each had three hits and an RBI, Josh Bell drove in a run for the sixth consecutive game and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Miami Marlins second baseman Luiz Arraez is looking to become the first player since 1941 to have a batting average of .400 or better.

“So far he’s been awesome. I can talk to him about anything. He’s constantly trying to help. It’s really nice to be here with him and have him around for sure,” Millas said of Daubach.

Rob Refsnyder had the go-ahead RBI single in a four-run eighth inning and James Paxton tied his season high with nine strikeouts, giving the Boston Red Sox a 5-4 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Kiké Hernández drove in two runs and Masataka Yoshida had three hits for the Red Sox, who put their first six batters on base in the eighth against relievers Enyel De Los Santos (2-1) and Nick Sandlin.

The Red Sox saved two Rays home runs, but that didn’t stop Tampa Bay.
