The Boston Red Sox are playing the Los Angeles Angels tonight at 9:38 PM ET. Willson Contreras is set to participate while he appeals a suspension that could sideline him for seven games if not resolved. His performance will be critical as the season progresses, with the team looking to regain momentum. Pitcher Jake Bennett, coming off a strong showing against the Yankees, will take the mound for Boston. The absence of Contreras, should the suspension stand, poses a significant challenge for the Red Sox moving forward.
