The Boston Red Sox desperately need a new right-hander in their bullpen, and it appears they could get a good one back soon.

Morán struggled in Boston’s 6-3 loss to the Orioles on Monday, allowing two runs, two hits and two walks while striking out three in 2 innings. He gave up an RBI single to Dylan Beavers and RBI triple to Gunnar Henderson in the seventh inning as Baltimore extended its lead from 2-0 to 4-0.

Jakob Marsee tees off and crashes a home run into right field. Wagaman scores from first and the Marlins lead it 5-3 at a suddenly much quieter Fenway Park. Gregg Weissert had come in for Garrett Whitlock but after giving up that home run he is out of the game for Steven Matz.

The Boston Red Sox lost first baseman Triston Casas to a devastating knee injury in May. The 25-year-old had struggled early in the season, but carried high expectations to return to his prior form in which he put up a 129 and 124 OPS+ in 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Boston is finalizing a contract with Nathaniel Lowe and could have him in the lineup before Monday’s game against the Orioles, according to major league sources. Lowe, a former Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner, will be on a one-year major league deal for the rest of the season.
