Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: One bad frame in loss
Sandoval (1-7) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing five runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Sandoval was tagged for four runs in the first inning but still managed a season-high seven frames, throwing 69 of 94 pitches for strikes with 14 whiffs. It goes down as the southpaw's fifth straight loss, and he's yielded at least four runs in each of his four September outings. He owns a 5.15 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB across 64.2 innings this year and will make his final start of the regular season at home against the Cubs next weekend.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Homers, extends hit streak in loss
Story went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Rays.
Story provided the club's only offense with a solo home run in the ninth inning. The veteran shortstop has now hit safely in 11 straight games, and he's batting .338 overall in 19 games since returning from the injured list Aug. 30. On the year, he's slashing .247/.278/.368 with five homers, 29 RBI, 24 runs scored and five steals across 252 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Wyatt Olds: Sent to Worcester
Boston optioned Olds to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
Olds spent just under three weeks with the big-league club before being demoted Sunday. Through 13 games, the 26-year-old has posted a 1.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 15 innings. Boston reinstated Tyron Guerrero (shoulder) from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

Red Sox's Tyron Guerrero: Returns to Boston
The Red Sox activated Guerrero (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.
Guerrero will return to the big-league club after being sidelined since Sept. 1. Through 38 games this season, the 35-year-old owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 38.2 innings. Boston optioned Wyatt Olds to Triple-A Worcester to make room for Guerrero on the active roster.

Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Tosses another side session
Crochet (shoulder) threw a two-inning side session Saturday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Crochet continues to build up in side sessions in the hopes he can help the Red Sox as a reliever over the final week of the regular season and into the playoffs. The left-hander could face hitters at Fenway Park early this week in advance of a potential return.

Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Makes final rehab start
Houck (elbow) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking two over 3.1 innings for Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
This was Houck's fourth and final rehab outing, and he could rejoin the team next week. He didn't have enough time to build up as a starter, but Houck could be an option out of the bullpen during a six-game home stand to wrap up the regular season.

Red Sox's Willson Contreras: Sitting again Sunday
Contreras (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
It's the third consecutive absence for Contreras after exiting Thursday's contest against the Rangers with a bruised right hand from a hit-by-pitch. The veteran slugger will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus Cleveland. Nick Sogard is picking up another start at first base Sunday for the Red Sox.

Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu: Idle Sunday
Abreu is out of the lineup for Boston's matchup with Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Abreu will take a breather after striking out five times through the first two games of the series against the Rays. Nate Eaton will start in right field and bat ninth for the Red Sox.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Ties career high with 11 strikeouts
Bello didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one run on five hits over eight innings. He struck out 11 without walking a batter.
The right-hander did everything he could to try and help Boston clinch a playoff spot, tying his career high with 11 Ks while firing 65 of 93 pitches for strikes. Bello has been impressive since returning to the big-league staff just before the All-Star break, as he's delivered a 2.28 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB over his last 51.1 innings and 13 appearances (two starts). He lines up to make one more appearance in the regular season, at home next weekend against the Cubs, and another strong showing could earn Bello a prominent spot in the Red Sox's postseason plans.

Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Pushed back to next week
Tolle no longer appears in line for a start this weekend in Tampa Bay, as the Red Sox are listing Patrick Sandoval as their probable starter for Sunday's game.
As Rob Bradford of WEEI.com points out, Boston appears to be lining Tolle up to start Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series. It's a tough blow for Tolle's fantasy managers, as they will take a zero from the lefty this week. He struck out seven over six scoreless innings against Kansas City in his last start Sept. 13, lowering his ERA to 3.02 over 143 innings this season.

Red Sox's Willson Contreras: Out again Saturday
Contreras (hand) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Contreras will miss a second consecutive start after leaving Thursday's contest with a bruised right hand. Nick Sogard will slide over to first base while Contreras sits, giving Isiah Kiner-Falefa a start at second.

Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: WIll not pitch this weekend
Chapman (lat) will not pitch this weekend but is expected to return during the team's final homestand next week, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Chapman was not available for the last two contests, which were save opportunities. Garrett Whitlock (Thursday) and Erik Miller (Friday) closed out the two wins. The Red Sox, who have a six-game lead over the nearest playoff hopefuls with eight games left, have some wiggle room and will not rush Chapman back.

Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Making start Saturday
Bello will start Saturday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Bello will draw another start after tossing five shutout innings against the Angels on Sept. 7 in what had been his first MLB start in three months. The 27-year-old threw 19 pitches in 1.2 innings out of the bullpen during his most recent appearance Tuesday, but he should still be stretched out enough to pitch fairly deep into Saturday's contest.
