This week in Turkey, he\u2019ll try to enforce them.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>In a 7-5, sweep-completing win over the Angels on Sunday night, Ranger Suarez walked slowly off the field during the third inning. The team said he was dealing with tightness in his left adductor, a muscle in the groin, creating the possibility of a second injury to a starting pitcher in the same turn through the rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Sox\u2019 bullpen handled the rest \u2014 five guys allowing two runs over 6\u2153 innings \u2014 to complete an eighth win in 10 games, by far the Sox\u2019 best stretch of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>But the game\u2019s longer-term relevance revolves around Suarez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAny time you see that, you\u2019re concerned,\u201d interim manager Chad Tracy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Red Sox will take a wait-and-see approach. Following their redeye flight to Chicago, they will examine Suarez again Monday before determining whether to send him for an MRI and broaching the injured-list question.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>After the game, Suarez said his groin was \u201cthe same\u201d as it did when he exited. He felt \u201ca big pinch,\u201d he explained, when he threw what turned out to be his last pitch, a curveball that Jo Adell bounced over the mound for a single. Suarez tried throwing one warmup pitch before leaving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s only been two hours,\u201d Suarez said through an interpreter when asked about whether the IL was a possibility. \u201cThe training staff wants to wait to see how I feel tomorrow and the next day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Already, the Red Sox (40-48) are missing Connelly Early, who was diagnosed with left elbow inflammation and is seeking a second opinion from a renowned orthopedic surgeon this week. Losing Suarez would mean needing to call on a couple of subs, the five-man rotation having dwindled to three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The group of Suarez, Early, Sonny Gray, Payton Tolle, and Jake Bennett has combined for a 3.12 ERA. Early (91\u2154 innings) and Suarez (91\u2153) are the team\u2019s workload leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThose two are tough losses for sure, especially those two lefties. They\u2019ve been nothing but great,\u201d Willson Contreras said. \u201cWith Ranger, hopefully it\u2019s nothing serious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Why the Red Sox are sending Roman Anthony to Florida (and to another doctor)<\/div>\n<p><span>Foremost among depth starter options is Patrick Sandoval, who appears ready to return to the majors more than two years removed from Tommy John surgery. With Triple-A Worcester are Brayan Bello, who has a 4.34 ERA in four games since being demoted, and righthanders Jack Anderson and Tyler Uberstine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHopefully the next guy is able to step up. We\u2019re going to be waiting for him, make him feel like part of the team,\u201d Contreras said. \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure that [pitching coach Andrew] Bailey is gonna get together with whoever is coming, and they\u2019re gonna do a great job. I really have confidence and trust in this group, and I think we\u2019re gonna keep this momentum going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4368\">Follow live updates on the Trump administration<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>The timing of any sort of health setback is unfortunate for Suarez, who on Saturday was named an All-Star for the second time in his career. In 2024, he had to skip the game because of a back problem. If he misses it again, it could open a spot for Gray.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>From 2023-25, Suarez had a 2.81 ERA before the All-Star break and a 4.73 ERA after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cRight now, no, I\u2019m not thinking about [the All-Star Game],\u201d Suarez said. \u201cThe most important thing is to be as healthy as possible for the second half.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Before his departure, Suarez had been having a rough go, allowing three runs and six hits in 2\u2154 innings. He struck out five and walked none.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Against righthander Ryan Johnson, the Sox totaled five runs (two earned) in four innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The clubs combined for eight runs and four tying or go-ahead plays across the first three innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the top of the second, Jarren Duran\u2019s two-out, two-run home run tied it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s been frustrating,\u201d said Duran, who went 2 for 3 to raise his average to .197. \u201cBut also relieved to hit the ball hard and it not find somebody\u2019s glove. So that\u2019s always a bonus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the third, shortstop Zach Neto muffed a two-out grounder, extending the inning. Willson Contreras made him pay one pitch later with a three-run home run \u2014 hit an estimated 446 feet to left field \u2014 to give the Sox what wound up being a permanent lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For Contreras, who was allowed to play all weekend as he awaits the appeal of his seven-game suspension following a brawl with the Nationals last week, it was a second long ball in as many days and his 20th of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Contreras\u2019s career high for homers: 24 in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis year has been good to me,\u201d he said. \u201cFeels good to already have 20. Not putting pressure on myself to reach some number. Just trying to play every single day like it\u2019s my last game.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4367\">A new ICE facility could speed up deportations for families and kids<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team said he was dealing with tightness in his left adductor, a muscle in the groin, creating the possibility of a second injury to a starting pitcher in the same turn through the rotation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
