Reese McGuire Suffers Left Thumb Contusion

Boston Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire (thumb) exited Tuesday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday with an apparent left thumb contusion, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. The 28-year-old is hitting .271 at the dish but with just one homer, 14 runs, 16 RBI, and a single stolen base over 70 games. It's unclear how serious the issue is right now, though whatever happens, Connor Wong will continue to get the majority of reps behind the plate, and McGuire remains irrelevant in all formats.

Jorge Alfaro Elects Free Agency

Catcher Jorge Alfaro has elected to become a free agent, according to his MLB.com player page.  Alfaro was designated for assignment by the Red Sox earlier this week and he cleared waivers, then choosing to return to the open market rather than accept an outright assignment to Boston’s Triple-A affiliate.

Reese McGuire Will Be Activated This Week

Boston Red Sox backstop Reese McGuire (oblique) has completed his rehab assignment and is ready to rejoin the big league club either Tuesday or Wednesday, according to MLB.com.

Reese McGuire Eyeing Rehab Assignment Next Week

The target date for Boston Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire (oblique) to begin a minor-league rehab assignment is around next Tuesday, July 25. McGuire has been slowly recovering from a right-oblique strain that he suffered on June 21 against the Minnesota Twins, but he was able to resume baseball activities on July 6. In any event, he's getting close to returning to backup duties behind Connor Wong in Boston. At the moment, Jorge Alfaro is serving as the Red Sox's backup backstop. McGuire will return to a .267/.313/.352 slash line with no home runs, nine doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 116 trips to the plate over 40 games in his first full season in Beantown.

Reese McGuire Not Ready To Return

Boston Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire (oblique) resumed baseball activities on July 6 after initially being slow to recover from a right-oblique strain that he suffered taking a swing on June 21 against the Minnesota Twins. Oblique injuries usually take a minimum of two to three weeks to heal, but McGuire's is taking longer. His absence led the Red Sox to sign Jorge Alfaro to a major-league deal on July 6. Whenever the 28-year-old backstop is finally ready to return, he'll rejoin Boston's roster as a backup catcher. He has minimal fantasy appeal in that role and was hitting .267 (28-for-105) with no home runs, nine doubles, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored in 116 plate appearances over 40 games played.

Jorge Alfaro Returns To The Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox signed free-agent catcher Jorge Alfaro to an undisclosed major-league contract on Thursday, and he'll be active on Thursday night against the visiting Texas Rangers in Beantown. Alfaro joined the Colorado Rockies for 10 games after opting out of his minor-league deal with the Red Sox in June, but now he's back in Boston. The 30-year-old veteran backstop went 5-for-31 (.161) with a homer, four doubles and four RBI in his 10 contests with the Rockies. With Reese McGuire (oblique) currently injured, Alfaro will serve as Connor Wong's backup in his return to Boston. Alfaro isn't much of a fantasy option and won't see regular playing time. He's a career .245 hitter with 48 homers and 198 RBI in 1,690 plate appearances over eight seasons in the majors.
