The Boston Red Sox are grappling with injury challenges, with 13 players on the injured list including designated hitter Masataka Yoshida.

Key team members such as Trevor Story, Triston Casas, and several pitchers are currently sidelined due to injuries.

In brighter news, Vaughn Grissom, the projected starting second baseman, is slated for activation in the near future.

The Red Sox have bolstered their roster by signing veteran first baseman Dominic Smith and acquiring infielder Zack Short.

Despite the injury setbacks, the team's depth players are making notable contributions and their pitching performance has helped maintain a winning record.

The Red Sox hold a 17-13 record and are 2 1/2 games behind in the American League East, with Manager Alex Cora expressing confidence in the team's resilience.
