Bogaerts Returns, Sox Struggle at Fenway

0:00On April 3rd, the Boston Red Sobs are finally back at Fenway Park for their opening home series of the 2026 season, facing off against the San Diego Padres. It's a rare match up for New England fans, but the big draw is Zander Bogeyers returning to the park where he became a world series hero. The socks are struggling early, sitting at just one win and five losses. They grab the opener against the Cincinnati Reds, but drop the rest of that series, then got swept by the Houston Astros on the road. Fans are buzzing about Bogeyers, who helped deliver that unforgettable championship. Expect a warm tribute, complete with a standing ovation like we've seen before, and even the 1986 pennant-winning squad getting honored. Ahead of the first game, adding to the woes, starting pitcher Johann Oviato, is headed to the injured list with a right elbow strain and dropping velocity. Reports say he's consulting Dr. Meister to check MRIs and whispers of Tommy John's surgery are already in the air. Meanwhile, Sunny Gray takes the mound against Michael King in a few hours.
