Of all the jerseys hanging in Sutter Health Park… this one is surely the most unexpected, particularly since it’s from the end-of-suspension minor league assignment that represented the last time Manny Ramirez played affiliated baseball. He requested and was granted his release after 10 games w/Sac.

Mead said he feels OK, especially since X-rays were negative. But he admitted disappointment that he had to leave his first Sox game due to injury. “At least we won,” he noted.

Chapman recovers from the error with a pair of strikeouts to close out the Red Sox' 4-2 win.

The Kurtz at-bat was just the 2nd this year of 10+ pitches against Chapman. Bellinger had an 11-pitch AB against Chapman on 6/27.

On the 10th pitch of a spectacular at-bat between Chapman and Kurtz, Kurtz rolled over ... but on a potential game-ending GIDP, Anthony Seigler fumbled the transfer, and the Sox couldn't record any outs. The tying runner is now on first in the ninth with one out.

To further clarify on Curtis Mead: X-rays on his hand/wrist were negative, meaning no fracture as found.

Red Sox announce Curtis Mead left the game with a left wrist contusion.

Ceddanne Rafaela got ahead 2-0 in the count with the bases loaded and two outs. He got a hanging breaker and lofted in the air. The wind at Sutter Health did the rest, pushing the ball just over the fence in left-center for Rafaela's first career grand slam. It's 4-1, Red Sox.

Curtis Mead, who was hit on the hand by a pitch in the fourth inning of his Red Sox debut, is out of the game. He's been replaced by Anthony Seigler at 2B.

With four innings so far in this game, Payton Tolle is at 108 2/3 innings for the year (between Triple-A and the big leagues), surpassing his regular season innings total from last year (108).

Soderstrom hit a pop-up to LF - 99 mph exit velo, 39-degree launch angle. It carried over the LF fence for a homer. 1-0, A’s.

What's behind newly acquired Red Sox infielder Curtis Mead's breakout? A lifelong tinkerer ("Some of my best seasons in the minor leagues, I was a very different hitter depending on the week") found something that worked ... and stopped tinkering. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/27/s...

When you broadcast in Sacramento, you bask in the dugout misters

It is wild to me that big league games happen here. Red Sox in Sacramento for four…. With Curtis Mead making his Sox debut at 2B and batting second tonight.

How is the Red Sox farm system positioned for deal-making this year? www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/27/s...

Curtis Mead’s 2026 batted ball profile overlaid at Fenway Park - this is why the team likes RHH who can pull the ball in the air:

The Red Sox-Nats deal is now official: Curtis Mead for Connelly Early. Here’s @peteabeglobe.bsky.social on the deal: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/25/s...

One other possibility: Mead could also become a primary DH option while also continuing to fill in around the diamond.

Durbin noted that 2B was his primary position in the minors, so it wouldn't take him long to acclimate if the Sox did want him to shift from 3B.
