## Resource

The Red Sox crushed the Blue Jays 6-4, fueled by Anthony Seigler’s four-hit night and Ceddanne Rafaela’s two-run blast off the Green Monster, pushing Boston to 53-49 and on a historic 16-2 July run. With the trade deadline looming, the pitching picture is evolving: Connelly Early is nearing a rehab assignment, Johan Oviedo and Tanner Houck are progressing, but Houck’s TJ timeline remains unclear. Kutter Crawford’s still on the sidelines, while Garrett Crochet and Oviedo may not return until September. Ranger Suarez’s groin strain and lingering illness leave Payton Tolle as the likely Sunday starter. Boston’s young arms—Jake Bennett, Tolle, and even returning Patrick Sandoval—are carrying the load, prompting Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow to warn against overworking them.
