Tolle's 146 innings this season between Boston and Triple-A Worcester are by far his most as a pro.

Mickey Gasper added two solo home runs as Boston, on a five-game win streak, improved to a season-high 14 games above .500.

Rutschman went 1 for 3 with a pair of walks in his Red Sox debut Tuesday night in a 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

The Red Sox first baseman struck out in his first three at-bats.

The Dodgers, likely favorites to reach the World Series, are focused on winning, not hoarding prospects.

The team downplayed Duran appearing to yell at Willson Contreras or interim third base coach Chad Epperson after flying out Thursday.
