The Boston Red Sox are eager to integrate Kyle Harrison, their new starting pitcher, into their roster following a trade with the San Francisco Giants. The Red Sox had initially hoped to acquire top prospect Bryce Eldridge from the Giants in exchange for Rafael Devers, but the Giants opted for a package featuring Harrison. After a delayed debut due to roster adjustments, Harrison is now expected to refine his skills in Triple-A.

Red Sox officials are optimistic about Harrison's future, highlighting his potential to be a key asset for the team over the coming years. Pitching coach Justin Willard emphasized that Harrison's work on his pitches, particularly his sinker and cutter variations, will enhance his performance when he returns to the majors. With a projected minor league stint of just a few weeks, expectations for Harrison are building rapidly.

The San Francisco Giants, with a record of 43-34, find themselves in a competitive position in the NL West, trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers by 3.5 games. Despite a winning record, their offense has been underwhelming, ranking 24th in MLB with a .683 OPS and only 73 home runs. In a strategic move to bolster their lineup, the Giants acquired Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox, trading away Jordan Hicks, Kyle Harrison, and other prospects.

Devers, a proven hitter with an OPS of .890 this season, has stepped into the middle of the Giants' order, but his transition to first base has been complicated by a current groin injury. While Devers is recovering, the Giants face a decision at first base, with Dominic Smith and Wilmer Flores as potential replacements. Smith has shown promise with a .298 batting average this season, while Flores has contributed with 11 home runs and 54 RBIs.

For fantasy baseball enthusiasts looking to bolster their pitching staff, a strategic streaming option becomes critical during the upcoming scoring period. With over ten pitchers available at less than 80% rostered in CBS Sports leagues, here are the top choices for Week 14 (June 23-29).

Shane Smith of the Chicago White Sox boasts an impressive ERA under 3.00 despite a recent rough outing. Matthew Liberatore of the St. Louis Cardinals, meanwhile, presents a strong option with elite control, even if matchups against the Cubs raise concerns. Chad Patrick, pitching for Milwaukee, faces the two weakest lineups, making him a favorable pickup. Jose Soriano of the Angels is hot off two double-digit strikeout games, while veteran Michael Wacha shows promise against a formidable Rays lineup, especially at home.

Additionally, keep an eye on Hayden Birdsong of San Francisco and Eduardo Rodriguez of Arizona for their favorable matchups, although Rodriguez has struggled with baserunners. Justin Verlander, returning from injury, remains relevant with reverse matchups against the same teams as Rodriguez. Lastly, Ben Brown from the Cubs may be more suited for points leagues due to his inconsistency. These pitchers represent solid streaming options to consider for your fantasy roster this week.

Sean Hjelle, the San Francisco Giants pitcher, is under investigation by Major League Baseball due to serious allegations made by his wife, Caroline Hjelle, through a TikTok video. The allegations include claims of abandonment and abuse, shared publicly on Mother's Day. The Giants organization acknowledged the situation, stating that MLB is managing the investigation. Despite the allegations, Hjelle was available to pitch against the Boston Red Sox, although he did not play in the game.

In response to the accusations, Hjelle explained that he and Caroline have been in the process of divorce for over a year, with a mediation agreement reached in the offseason. He mentioned that the delay in finalizing the divorce was due to their separation period requirements in Virginia. Hjelle has a current 4.66 ERA in six appearances this season, marking his fourth year in the majors.

The Boston Red Sox secured a narrow 7-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants, with Aroldis Chapman earning a save in the ninth inning. Chapman struck out two batters swiftly but had a tense moment with Giants' Wilmer Flores after the game, stemming from a pitch clock violation. Chapman expressed frustration towards Flores for not maintaining eye contact before the pitch, which is a requirement under the rules. Flores, confused, mentioned he had no understanding of Chapman's grievances. The confrontation, albeit heated, did not escalate into a brawl, making for an intriguing end to an entertaining night of baseball.
