ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Rafaela had gone just 2-for-15 (.133) over his previous six games, and he hadn't homered since going yard in three straight games versus the Angels from June 2-4. The 24-year-old delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning and a go-ahead solo shot in the sixth, which put the Red Sox ahead for good. He's now at a .255/.303/.407 slash line with seven homers, 10 stolen bases, 28 RBI, 39 runs scored, 12 doubles and two triples through 72 contests this season. Rafaela continues to hold down a starting role in center field.
Jun 18 2025Rafaela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Red Sox will give Rafaela a breather for the day game after a night game, ending a stretch of 19 consecutive starts for the 24-year-old during which he slashed .310/.347/.521 with four home runs and three stolen bases.

The domino effect of Anthony's arrival is Rafaela shifting back to his familiar center field spot and Kristian Campbell moving from center field to second base.

Rafaela has gone yard in three straight games, accounting for half his home runs on the season, while Wednesday's clutch blast extended the 24-year-old's hitting streak to eight games -- a stretch in which he's batting .412 (14-for-34).
