Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Goes deep against Kansas City
Gasper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during the Red Sox's 3-2 loss to the Royals on Friday.
Seth Lugo kept the Red Sox off the board through the first four innings of Friday's game, but Gasper changed things with a solo homer to right-center field in the fifth inning. It was the ninth homer of the season for Gasper, six of which have come at Fenway Park. Since being promoted from the minors in mid-August, he has gone 18-for-59 (.305) with 16 RBI and 13 extra-base hits.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Taking seat Tuesday
Gasper is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Gasper started the previous eight contests and will receive a day off after batting .231 (6-for-26) with a double, three homers and a 7:6 BB:K during that span. Willson Contreras (hamstring) could be back from the injured list as soon as Friday, but the Red Sox may try to keep Gasper in the lineup however they can given his recent offensive production. Nick Sogard will pick up a start at first base Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio handles the keystone.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Supplies lone run Friday
Gasper went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Red Sox's 1-0 win over the Orioles on Friday.
Gasper's solo homer off Shane Baz in the first inning proved to be the only run scored in Friday's affair. Gasper has made the most of his opportunities in the big leagues, and the Red Sox will lean on him now due to Willson Contreras (hamstring) being on the 10-day injured list. Since mid-August, Gasper has gone 17-for-45 (.378) with eight home runs, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored. If he continues his strong play at the plate, the Red Sox may have to make some tough roster decisions when one of Contreras, Curtis Mead (wrist) or Masataka Yoshida (hamstring) returns from the IL.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Getting time at first base
Gasper went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.
Gasper continued an unexpected power surge that began with his return to the majors Aug. 17 -- he's gone 15-for-38 (.395) with four doubles, seven homers and 14 RBI over 14 games around a very short-lived trip to the minors for one day earlier this week. The versatile Gasper made a third consecutive start at first base in place of the injured Willson Contreras, and the Red Sox will find a spot for Gasper somewhere if he continues to hit like this.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Smacks solo homer in Tuesday's loss
Gasper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Mariners.
Gasper got the Red Sox on the board early with a solo homer in the first inning. He's gone deep in back-to-back games and has seven homers over his last 13 games since being recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Aug. 16. Gasper should continue to see plenty of playing time over the next couple of weeks given his strong play at the plate coupled with Willson Contreras (hamstring) being on the 10-day injured list.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Recalled, batting second Monday
The Red Sox recalled Gasper from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, and he'll start at first base and bat second in the team's series opener versus the Mariners.
Boston optioned Gasper to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll wind up rejoining the big club just one day later after Willson Contreras (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The Red Sox will plug Gasper in right away at Contreras' spot in the field, though Nick Sogard could also be in the mix for starts at first base while Contreras is on the shelf. Gasper has acquitted himself well at the plate over his various stints in the big leagues this season, slashing a collective .278/.374/.466 with five home runs, 19 RBI and 17 runs across 45 games.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Sent to Triple-A
Boston optioned Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
With both Trevor Story (abdomen) and Roman Anthony (finger) returning from the injured list, Gasper will wind up losing his spot on the 26-man active roster. The demotion comes even though Gasper had been running hot at the plate since being recalled from Triple-A on Aug. 16; over the last two weeks, he slashed .423/.595/1.115 with five home runs, three doubles, nine walks, 12 RBI and six runs in 11 games.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Goes yard twice against Fish
Gasper went 2-for-2 with two walks and two solo home runs in Tuesday's 7-3 extra-innings win over the Marlins.
The switch-hitting catcher continues to swing a hot bat, taking Tyler Phillips deep in the second inning to get the Red Sox on the board before swatting another solo shot off Tyler Zuber in the sixth. Gasper has gone yard a stunning five times in eight games since rejoining the big-league roster Aug. 17, batting .476 (10-for-21) over that span with three doubles, six runs and 12 RBI as the primary DH against right-handed pitching.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: On bench Sunday
Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Though he'll head to the bench while southpaw Matt Wilkinson starts for the Giants, the switch-hitting Gasper looks to have moved into a regular role as the Red Sox's designated hitter versus right-handed pitching since being recalled from Triple-A Worcester a week ago. While starting in each of Boston's last five games, Gasper went 5-for-15 with three home runs, one double, two walks, eight RBI and three runs.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Homers in third straight
Gasper served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Arizona.
Gasper gave the Red Sox a jolt in the bottom of the sixth inning, when he launched a three-run homer that tied the game after the Diamondbacks extended their lead in the top of the frame. It was the third straight game with a homer for Gasper, who had gone deep just twice over 92 career games in the majors prior to his call-up this week. The switch hitter has served as the DH in three consecutive contests, all against right-handers. He was eventually pinch hit for against a left-hander in the eighth.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Goes deep again in win
Gasper went 2-for-2 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Gasper was perfect at the plate, and the highlight was a solo blast in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old has now homered in back-to-back games since rejoining the Red Sox on Monday. He's slashed .254/.323/.368 with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored across 128 major-league plate appearances and is earning himself a chance to stick around during his second stint with the big club this season.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Smashes first homer of 2026
Gasper went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI groundout during Boston's 11-1 win over Arizona on Monday.
The Red Sox needed another bat in the lineup after Masataka Yoshida (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday and Jahmai Jones (undisclosed) was a late scratch from the lineup. Gasper got the call from Triple-A Worcester, and he contributed immediately with a solo long ball in the seventh inning, his first in the majors this season and third of his big-league career. He could see additional reps at DH if Jones' absence extends beyond Monday's series opener.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Summoned to majors
The Red Sox recalled Gasper from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
Gasper will be back with the Red Sox for the first time since late June, replacing the injured Masataka Yoshida (hamstring). Adley Rutschman will occupy the designated hitter spot for Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh, but Gasper could get some looks as the DH while Yoshida is out. During his time in the majors this season, Gasper has slashed .243/.305/.308 with no home runs or stolen bases, 11 runs and seven RBI across 119 plate appearances.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Sent back to Triple-A
The Red Sox optioned Gasper to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
The 30-year-old had received fairly regular playing time between catcher and designated hitter since about mid-May, but his .486 OPS in 17 games this month will result in him being demoted. Romy Gonzalez (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list and will take over Gasper's spot on the 26-man active roster.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Sitting Saturday
Gasper isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.
Gasper appears to have moved down a spot on the depth chart, as he will move to the bench for the fourth time in Boston's last five games while Carlos Narvaez starts behind the plate for the third time in the team's last four.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Sitting against lefty again
Gasper is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Gasper is a switch hitter, but he's fared much better against right-handed pitching both this season and throughout his big-league career. The Red Sox will thus keep Gasper on the bench for a second straight day while the Rockies send another lefty starter (Kyle Freeland) to the hill.

Red Sox's Mickey Gasper: Idle Tuesday

Gasper is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Gasper has taken over as the No. 1 option in Boston's catching trio and is even seeing regular run in the leadoff spot, but he will get a night off after three consecutive starts. Newcomer Anthony Seigler will lead off Saturday while Carlos Narvaez catches for rookie Connelly Early.
