Caleb Durbin was hitting just .163 with a brutal ground ball rate of 58% early in the season — a nightmare for a player Boston traded for in February. But after working with hitting coach Lorenzo Garmendia to fix his swing mechanics, he’s transformed: ground balls down to 41%, more fly balls, and a surge in barrel and hard-hit rates. The numbers aren’t pretty yet, but the trend is undeniable — Durbin’s becoming a reliable everyday third baseman with real upside, and he’s still a waiver wire gem for teams outside New England.

The Brewers’ pitching is heating up with Misiorowski and Harrison dominating, but with Woodruff sidelined, they’re eyeing a big move: Sonny Gray. The veteran ace, crushing it for Boston with a 2.61 ERA and 10-1 record, could be the perfect fit—especially with his NL Central experience and proven durability. A $30M mutual option for 2027 makes him pricey, but for a young rotation needing stability, Gray might be the missing piece.
