## Resource

The Boston Red Sox are in a slump, clinging to last place with a 24-33 record and 12 games behind the division lead, as their offense struggles mightily. Despite standout performances from Ceddanne Rafaela and Willson Contreras, the team’s hitting woes persist. Heading into their game against the Guardians, both players are sidelined—Rafaela with lower back tightness and Contreras with a lingering wrist issue. The team is taking advantage of a day off to let them rest and recover, hoping to keep them healthy for the stretch run as they fight to turn their season around.
