Interim manager Chad Tracy is optimistic, with Rafaela set to resume running drills next week. At just 25, Rafaela’s been elite this season — .287 batting average, 16 homers, 70 RBIs, and top-tier defense in center field. His absence joins a growing injury list that includes Contreras and Yoshida, prompting the team to recall Nate Eaton while Eli White steps in. With a six-game cushion in the AL wild-card race, Boston still has breathing room — even with the roster shaken.
