Boston Red Sox News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Red Sox: Durbin Bench, Monasterio Reps, Offense Sparks Needed. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 8th, Boston Red Sox Offense is ice cold this season, sitting at 3 wins and 8 losses. Fans are calling for real line-up shakes, not just tweaks for manager Alex Korra. Offseason pickup Caleb Durbin is struggling hard, just 4 hits and 33 ad bats. Earlier this week, Korra benched Durbin to open Tuesday's game, but still used him as a pinch hitter. Dude needs a few straight days off to reset. Maybe extra time with the hitting coaches to fix whatever snowballing. The pressure's mounting with the team dead last in the American League East. They got a stack wins quick before digging a deeper hole, and Durbin's not the only one scuffling, but he's looking the worst right now. Enter Andrew Monasterio for some reps at third base. He balled out in spring training with a solid slash line, one homer, two steals and five walks. Last year in 68 games, he hit around 270 with good power, now just 1 for 8 and 4 games, but more playing time could wake him. Up, Red Sox Brass better act fast on this switch, to spark the bats and climb back in the division hunt.
