Red Sox Struggle Amid Injuries and Clubhouse Frustration

The Boston Red Sox are experiencing a frustrating season, now holding a 27-29 record and sitting in fourth place in the AL East after recent losses to both the Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers. Team morale is low, with outfielder Rob Refsnyder openly criticizing the team's performance and manager Alex Cora considering lineup changes to help struggling players like Trevor Story. Injuries have played a significant role, notably with third baseman Alex Bregman sidelined by a quad strain. Although there have been standout pitching performances, including Garrett Crochet's 11-strikeout game and solid outings by Walker Buehler, offensive support has often been lacking in key situations. The Red Sox have only managed to play .500 baseball at home and have struggled to win close games, further fueling clubhouse frustration. The team is now preparing for an upcoming series against the New York Yankees, facing increasing pressure to improve consistency and morale.
