Red Sox right fielder Hunter Renfroe is among three candidates for the American League Gold Glove award, Rawlings Baseball — the presenting sponsor — announced on Thursday.
Renfroe joins the Astros’ Kyle Tucker and the Yankees’ Joey Gallo in contention for the award, given out to the most outstanding defensive player at each position.
The Red Sox congratulated Renfroe via Twitter.
The case for Renfroe starts with his arm — he tied for the lead in outfield assists this season with Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (16).
