The Boston Red Sox have optioned catcher Mickey Gasper as they activate infielder Romy González from injury. González, who missed the season due to shoulder surgery, made his return in a game against the Yankees. Chad Tracy, the interim manager, explained that the decision aimed to reduce the roster to two catchers for better team versatility. Gasper had been contributing with a.243 average over 34 games but was the odd man out with González's return. Boston looks to utilize González's defensive skills and bat as they push for improved performance in the season's second half.
