Romy Gonzalez begins rehab assignment as Red Sox seek offensive boost

Romy Gonzalez of the Boston Red Sox is set to begin a rehab assignment with AA Portland tomorrow, aiming to return by the next homestand. Gonzalez's return is especially crucial given the team's struggles with right-handed hitting this season. Meanwhile, teammate Roman Anthony is sidelined with a unique injury affecting his ring finger. Willson Contreras continues to perform well at the plate, providing some relief amid the offensive woes. Last night, the Red Sox faced challenges, including rookie Connelly Early's recent struggles on the mound, contributing to their difficulties.
