In a recent game against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Boston Red Sox finally called up top prospect Roman Anthony, who had been eagerly awaited by fans throughout the season. Making his MLB debut while batting fifth as a right fielder, Anthony faced challenges early on, committing an error that allowed the Rays to extend their lead. Despite the setback, he later recorded his first RBI, although he finished the game hitless.

Anthony's performance at Triple-A has been impressive, boasting a .288 average with 10 home runs this season. His debut showcased the immediate pressure of the big leagues, but fans remain optimistic about his future potentials, given his celebrated skillset. The Red Sox hope Anthony can help turn around a struggling season as they aim to improve their current standing.

Today's MLB DFS slate features nine games, kicking off at 6:40 p.m. ET, bringing together compelling matchups including the Cubs vs. Phillies and significant interleague contests. A wealth of pitching talent will grace the mound, notably Chris Sale, who has shown tremendous form lately with a 2.93 ERA and 72 strikeouts in his last 54.2 innings. Joining him are Matthew Boyd, who continues to excel for the Cubs, and rookie Eury Perez, making his highly anticipated return after Tommy John surgery against the struggling Pirates.

As for hitters, Jose Ramirez stands out, especially when facing left-handed pitchers like Wade Miley, demonstrating a .417 average against them this season. Yandy Diaz's powerful history against Boston's Brayan Bello cannot be overlooked, and both Jarren Duran and Shohei Ohtani are in line for potential big performances against respective right-handers.

Yandy Díaz was the hero for the Tampa Bay Rays as he hit a crucial two-run homer in the fifth inning that tied the game against the Miami Marlins. His double in the eighth set up the winning run, showcasing his ability to come through in clutch moments. The Rays triumphed 3-2, exemplifying their strong performance this season.

Drew Rasmussen’s streak of 23 scoreless innings ended as he allowed two runs, but he managed to pitch six innings with six hits. Tampa Bay now leads the majors with 90 steals, while Caballero’s thievery of third base in the eighth inning capped off his 21st of the season. The Rays continue to show their prowess on the base paths.

The Tampa Bay Rays secured a narrow 3-2 victory against the Miami Marlins, highlighted by Yandy Díaz's two-run homer that tied the game. The eighth inning saw Díaz hit a crucial double, followed by a stolen base from Jose Caballero, allowing Brandon Lowe to score on a sacrifice fly. Despite the win, pitcher Drew Rasmussen's stellar six-inning effort, featuring no extra-base hits and only two runs, felt slightly disappointing as he narrowly missed breaking a franchise scoreless innings record.

The win concluded the season series against the Marlins at 3-3, marking the first time the Rays have not outright won the Citrus Series since 2018. The Rays now look ahead to a matchup against the Boston Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox find themselves in a precarious position as the MLB season progresses, currently struggling with a mediocre record. The underperforming roster includes veteran shortstop Trevor Story, recently labeled one of the worst players in baseball. This situation has prompted speculation about a potential 'panic trade' as the trade deadline approaches.

Despite the uncertainties, it seems unlikely that Boston will part ways with star third baseman Rafael Devers. However, with first base becoming an urgent need due to injuries to Triston Casas and Remy Gonzalez, the Red Sox may seek external help. The team could target players like Ryan Mountcastle from the Baltimore Orioles or Yandy Díaz from the Tampa Bay Rays, who has displayed inconsistent performance this season, making him a potential low-risk acquisition.
