sportsJun 28, 20262854

The Boston Red Sox reinstated infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez from the 60-day injured list and activated him for the club's Sunday night game against the New York Yankees, lining him in the DH spot for the June 28 start with Sonny Gray scheduled to pitch. Boston optioned catcher/first baseman Mickey Gasper to Triple-A Worcester; Gasper is a Merrimack, New Hampshire, native. The team also transferred Roman Anthony to the 60-day injured list; Anthony has been out since May 5. The June 28 Red Sox lineup listed Romy Gonzalez batting fifth as designated hitter behind Willson Contreras and ahead of Caleb Durbin. With Gonzalez back on the active roster, Jarren Duran was left off the immediate lineup, and the move creates a catcher vacancy filled at least temporarily by Connor Wong in the listed lineup. The roster churn signals Boston prioritizing Gonzalez's availability for the series against the Yankees while sending Gasper for more regular at-bats in Worcester.
