Princeton Hosts Ivy League Softball Tournament Starting 10 AM

The Boston Red Sox are navigating uncertainty at first base after losing Triston Casas to a season-ending injury, prompting manager Alex Cora to implement a platoon of Romy Gonzalez and Abraham Toro for now. Cora has resisted moving Rafael Devers from third to first base, emphasizing his strong production and comfort in his current role, but hasn't ruled out future changes. Gonzalez, appreciated for his versatility and strong performance against left-handed pitchers, is being given an opportunity to prove himself as a potential longer-term solution, though his comfort around the bag is still developing. Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow acknowledged the team's disappointing 18-19 start, noting that while individual performances have been promising, the team has struggled to turn that into wins. He also stressed the ongoing need to find both short- and long-term answers at first base, given Casas's significant surgery and recovery timeline. The Red Sox remain just behind the Yankees in the standings but recognize the need to improve cohesion and address lineup questions to keep playoff hopes alive.
