Seymour is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

With southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the hill for St. Louis, the left-handed-hitting Seymour will head to the bench while the Rays go with Yandy Diaz at first base and Christopher Morel at designated hitter in the series finale. Since being called up from Triple-A Durham on Aug. 15, Seymour has gone 4-for-24 (.167 average) with one home run and a 1:12 BB:K in seven games.

Feduccia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

With southpaw Matthew Liberatore toeing the rubber for the Cardinals, Feduccia will give way to Nick Fortes behind the dish. Feduccia has produced a minuscule .506 OPS in 15 games since being acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline.

Seymour is slated to start Monday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

At least for one turn through the rotation, Seymour will take over the starting role that was vacated by Joe Boyle, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. Since being called up from Triple-A on July 31, Seymour has made five relief appearances, but he covered 3.1 innings Aug. 15 in San Francisco and three frames in his most recent appearance Tuesday against the Yankees, so he should be reasonably stretched out ahead of his first MLB start. The 26-year-old lefty had previously been serving as a full-time member of the rotation at Durham, producing a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB in 86 innings.

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Yankees.

Lowe contributed to Boston's seven-run ninth inning with a run-producing single and then scored himself. He's either scored or driven in a run in five straight games since joining the Red Sox. Lowe is 5-for-14 with three walks, two doubles, a home run, five RBI and four runs scored for his new team.

Diaz (hamstring) will start at first base and bat third Sunday against the Cardinals, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.

Diaz sustained a low-grade hamstring strain in the series opener versus St. Louis on Thursday and sat out Friday's 10-6 win, but he'll return to the lineup following Saturday's team off day. The first baseman has collected at least one hit in eight of his past 10 games and has five multi-hit efforts during that span.

Narvaez went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Yankees.

Narvaez put the final touch on the win with a two-run shot to left-center field to cap a seven-run ninth inning. He's been a thorn in the side of his former organization, slashing .348/.545/.795 with two home runs and six RBI over seven contests against the Yankees in 2025. Narvaez has a .738 OPS with 11 home runs, 21 doubles, 38 RBI and 45 runs scored over 93 games in his first season with Boston.

Anthony started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Yankees.

Anthony was back in the outfield after a one-game stint as the designated hitter Friday due to not feeling 100 percent, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Other than Friday's three-strikeout night, Anthony's first taste of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry in New York has gone well. The Red Sox have won the first three games, with Anthony providing a two-run home run Thursday to seal that win.

Fitts could be the favorite to start Monday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Fitts initially looked set to work out of the bullpen when he was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, but the team now has a hole in its rotation after manager Alex Cora said Friday that the struggling Walker Buehler has been moved to a relief role. The Red Sox have made Fitts available out of the bullpen during their four-game series with the Yankees, but he hasn't been used in any of the first three contests. If the team stays away from Fitts in Sunday's series finale, the right-hander would likely become the logical choice to take the hill Monday. Triple-A Worcester rotation member Kyle Harrison is another candidate to get called up to potentially start Monday's contest.

Harrison could be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to start Monday's series opener against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

After the Red Sox moved Walker Buehler to the bullpen Friday, the club needs a starter for Monday's contest. The leading contenders to fill the void in the rotation would seem to be Harrison and Richard Fitts, the latter of whom was recalled from Triple-A on Thursday and was made available out of the bullpen. Fitts has gone unused in the first three games of the Red Sox's series with the Yankees, and if Boston stays away from him again Sunday, the right-hander would likely be the top candidate to take the hill Monday. Acquired from the Giants in the June 15 deal that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco, Harrison has yet to make his Red Sox debut. The 24-year-old southpaw has thus far made 10 starts for Worcester, turning in a 3.69 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 46:25 K:BB in 46.1 innings.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday and isn't expected to miss another start, MLB.com reports.

DeGrom skipped his previously scheduled start due to shoulder discomfort, which the team attributed more to workload than a legitimate injury. He's already tossed 140.1 innings this season, his most since 2019. DeGrom is tentatively expected to take the mound Monday at home against the Angels.
