Wilyer Abreu went 3-for-3 with four RBI and three runs scored on Thursday against the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact: The biggest knock on the night came via a three-run home run hit by Abreu in the ninth inning to break a 2-2 tie. He previously also took starter Nathan Eovaldi deep. His power upside will be worth monitoring all season.

Garrett Crochet allowed two runs on five hits across five innings on Thursday against the Rangers with four strikeouts and two walks.

Fantasy Impact: Crochet allowed runs in the second and fourth innings on base hits from Kevin Pillar and Kyle Higashioka. The Red Sox ace didn't have his best outing in his team debut, but he was steady for most of the afternoon. He is scheduled to take on the Orioles in his next start.

Justin Slaten struck out one batter in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact: With a flawless performance, Liam Hendriks starting the season on the IL, Slaten gets the first save opportunity. His impressive outing and lack of walks indicate he could be a valuable asset for fantasy teams looking for saves, especially if he can secure consistent opportunities moving forward.

The Red Sox selected the contract of Sean Newcomb from Triple-A Worcester.

Fantasy Impact: Devers shifts to full-time DH for 2025, confirmed Wednesday by Cora, with Alex Bregman taking third base, banking on his bat staying potent post-shoulder issues last year.
