Summary
The Red Sox’ playoff hopes take a hit as star outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela goes on the injured list, retroactive to September 3rd, just as they race to close the gap on the Yankees in the AL East. Rafaela, a key contributor with an All-Star season (.282, 16 HR, 70 RBI), is sidelined by right quad soreness — a major blow given his impact and the team’s slim window to catch New York. But there’s silver lining: catcher Adley Rutschman’s return has already energized the lineup. With Boston at 78-65 and the Yankees at 81-61, every game matters — and the Red Sox need to rally fast if they’re to make postseason noise.
