When the Boston Red Sox return from the All-Star break on Friday, they’ll be riding a 10-game winning streak with 12 games to go before the trade deadline.

The 38-year-old posted a 5.27 ERA over 27.1 innings this season after joining Los Angeles ahead of the 2025 season.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora gushed over his team after they claimed their eighth win in a row in a barnburner against the Rays.

The chaotic ending came after All-Star pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Robbie Ray looked the part through most of the game. Yamamoto threw 91 pitches, 64 of them strikes. Ray was done in favor of Ryan Walker after six innings, giving up two runs on three hits with two walks and six strikeouts. He threw 92 pitches, 54 of them strikes.

Cam Booser, White Sox: The 33-year-old lefty reliever has a 5.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, seven holds, one save, a .223 batting average against, 27 strikeouts and 14 walks in 30 outings (24 ⅔ innings). The White Sox demoted him to Triple-A Charlotte on July 13. Boston traded Booser to Chicago on Dec. 21 for 18-year-old minor leaguer Yhoiker Fajardo.
