After their first season together, Boddy also served as the team\u2019s interim director of baseball sciences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Boddy characterized his involvement with the Red Sox as reduced in every year since his first. He officially left about a month ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cJust the natural progress of things,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Boddy established Driveline, a data-driven player development organization based outside Seattle, in 2008. Since then, the company has built significant influence in the industry, on both players and clubs, including the Red Sox. He previously was the Reds\u2019 director of pitching during the 2020-21 seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Among the many Driveline alumni hired by the Sox in recent years are hitting coaches <b>John Soteropulos<\/b> and <b>Collin Hetzler<\/b> and major league pitching strategist <b>Devin Rose<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Scherzer scratched<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The Red Sox were supposed to face Blue Jays righthander <b>Max Scherzer<\/b>, a virtual lock for the Hall of Fame, on Wednesday. But he was scratched \u2014 and placed on the injured list \u2014 because of back spasms, another in a long series of injuries that have sidelined him in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=2984\">WNBA to expand to 50-game schedule for teams next season<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Scherzer, who turns 42 next month, has made only a half-dozen starts this year. Last week he returned from a six-week absence induced primarily by a forearm issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m frustrated,\u201d Scherzer told reporters. \u201cI wanted to get in that rhythm. I wanted to be out there. My arm feels like it\u2019s in a really great spot right now, but I can\u2019t go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In his stead, Toronto rolled with a bullpen game, beginning with righthander <b>Braydon Fisher<\/b>.

There\u2019s a lot of things that are noise that maybe aren\u2019t true. It gets louder when you get to that period of time,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cProbably 75 percent of the things or more that you hear are maybe not true, so it\u2019s not worth getting caught up in \u2014 outside of the realization that they know that we got to get going or things like that can happen [and players will be traded].&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Chapman watch<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span><b>Aroldis Chapman\u2019s<\/b> sore left hamstring still is bothering him, Tracy said, some three weeks or so since it first popped up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chapman also has pitched just three times in 28 days. That largely is a product of so few save opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019re getting better. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s moderately there, but improving a lot,\u201d Tracy said. \u201c[With a small lead] we use him in the ninth or whatever. If we\u2019re not there in the ninth, he gets to rest and we get it right. But he\u2019s improving quite a bit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Sandoval update<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>In his third rehab outing, <b>Patrick Sandoval<\/b> struck out four and walked one in three-plus innings for Double-A Portland.

He threw 44 pitches (27 strikes) . . . <b>Romy Gonzalez<\/b> (left shoulder surgery) was in Portland\u2019s lineup for a second day in a row, and went 0 for 3 as as the designated hitter after playing second base Tuesday. \u201cCame out of it feeling physically good,\u201d Tracy said of the first game. \u201cSo I\u2019d say it was a good first step\u201d . . .
