Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Out of lineup Tuesday
Rafaela is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Rafaela is just 5-for-42 (.119) over his last 12 contests, so he'll get a day to regroup. Romy Gonzalez will occupy second base and Jarren Duran will patrol center field for the Red Sox.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Snags steal in loss
Rafaela went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Padres.
Rafaela had gone 0-for-8 at the plate over his previous three games. He was on base in the ninth inning and stole second before scoring the tying run to force an extra frame, though the Red Sox still lost. He's batting just .219 (16-for-73) since the All-Star break, adding three steals and three extra-base hits in that span. While he's struggling at the plate, his versatility has allowed him to stay in the lineup at second base in the absence of Marcelo Mayer (wrist). Rafaela is slashing .262/.303/.444 with 14 home runs, 16 steals, 51 RBI, 63 runs scored, 23 doubles and three triples over 112 contests.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Fills in at second base
Rafaela started at second base and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.
The All-Star break appears to have put a cooler on Rafaela's bat. He entered the break on a 19-game heater, during which he had a 1.141 OPS with seven home runs, nine doubles and 20 RBI. Since returning, Rafaela's gone 6-for-27 (.222) with zero extra-base hits or RBI over seven games in the second half. His start Friday was his second consecutive at the keystone. With Marcelo Mayer (wrist) on the 10-day injured list, Rafaela could see more playing at second base.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Starting at second base
Rafaela will start at second base and bat third Sunday against the Cubs, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
This will be Rafaela's second start at the keystone in the last week. Red Sox manager Alex Cora is following through on a statement from last week, when he said he planned on using Rafaela one of two times per week at second base in order to get as many lefty hitters into the lineup as possible against right-handed pitching.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Weekly starts at keystone
Rafaela will be added to the mix at second base and possibly play one or two games per week at the position, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. "Give him one or maybe two starts at second so we can get everybody else in the lineup," Boston manager Alex Cora said.
Occasionally moving Rafaela to second base would allow Cora to get as many left-handed bats into the lineup as possible against righties, and reduce the logjam in the outfield. On the days when Rafaela plays second base, Jarren Duran will patrol center field with Roman Anthony in left and Wilyer Abreu in right, while Masataka Yoshida serves as the designated hitter.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Notches 14th long ball
Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win against the Rays.
The Boston center fielder extended his team's lead to 4-1 with a 352-foot blast off Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot in the sixth inning. This marks Rafaela's fifth home run in July, as he's been scorching hot with a .390 (16-for-41) average, six doubles, 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 11 games this month. The 24-year-old appears to be amid a breakout season, as he's now slashing .271/.314/.483 with 55 runs scored and 48 RBI while going 13-for-15 on steal attempts in 341 total plate appearances.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Getting first start of 2025 at 2B
Rafaela will start at second base and bat second in Saturday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Rafaela has batted ninth and played center field virtually all season, but he'll be in new spots on defense and in the lineup Saturday after his walk-off home run Friday extended Boston's win streak to eight games. He's been smoking hot of late, going 14-for-31 (.452) with four home runs, six doubles and 13 RBI during the team's win streak.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Plays hero with walk-off blast
Rafaela went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk-off two-run homer in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rays.
Rafaela delivered both early and late, driving in Boston's first run with a second-inning RBI single before capping off the comeback with a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth. The 24-year-old outfielder has been hot at the plate recently, recording a hit in each of his last eight games, going 14-for-31 (.452) with five multi-hit performances, 13 RBI and nine runs scored during that stretch.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Stepping out of lineup Wednesday
Rafaela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Rafaela will put his six-game hitting streak on hold and will head to the bench for the first time since June 18 while Jarren Duran gets a start in center field in his stead. With Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) returning from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and entering the lineup at designated hitter, the Red Sox will have a bit of a logjam in the outfield, where Roman Anthony is likely to be more of a factor moving forward. Though Rafaela is the Red Sox's best defensive center fielder, manager Alex Cora acknowledged that the 25-year-old could get consideration for more spot starts in the infield, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Though he's played exclusively in center field in 2025, Rafaela made 71 starts at shortstop and four at second base last season, in addition to playing seven innings as a reserve at third base. The keystone would seem to be the most logical position for the Red Sox to use Rafaela in order to free up more at-bats for others in the outfield, as Boston has recently been getting by with a rotation of Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton and Marcelo Mayer at the position.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Homer streak ends
Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.
Rafaela's three-game home-run streak ended, but he maintained an extra-base hit streak that reached six games. His two-run double in the sixth inning was part of a four-run frame that broke open a scoreless tie. Rafaela is 10-for-24 with six doubles, three homers and eight RBI during his extra-base hit streak. A ninth-place batter for much of the season, Rafaela was moved up to sixth in the order for the night.
