The Red Sox got a big start from Tanner Houck on Saturday en route to a win against the Twins, the first of two in a row to put their record over .500. Unfortunately, he’s one of multiple players who won’t be with the team as they travel to Toronto next week due to his vaccination status. (Julian McWilliams; Boston Globe)

Coming into the season, it was certainly the expectation of most that the offense would be carrying the team.
