Overview

• Manager Alex Cora swapped this week’s turns, moving Garrett Crochet to Wednesday on four days’ rest and pushing Brayan Bello to Thursday with an extra day.
• Boston has not yet clinched a postseason berth, with a three-game set in Toronto next as the club prepares contingencies for October.
• Crochet’s results improve with five days between starts, and he said he is comfortable handling any rest scenario, including short rest in pivotal games.
• Wilyer Abreu was activated and used only as the designated hitter, Masataka Yoshida made his first professional start in right field, and catcher Ali Sánchez was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot.
• Righthander Dustin May is in Fort Myers to throw a live batting practice session Tuesday and could be evaluated as a bullpen option if he is cleared.
