The Red Sox are getting healthier - who stays and who goes?

Key Points:

• Adley Rutschman is set to be activated for the Boston Red Sox’s upcoming game after completing his rehab assignment, prompting roster decisions with potential returns from key players like Trevor Story, Roman Anthony, Curtis Mead, and Garrett Crochet.
• The Red Sox face tough choices between maintaining their current successful lineup, which has gone 32-8 since June 25, or reintegrating returning veterans who may displace key contributors.
• Trevor Story is the most straightforward reintegration due to his status as the highest-paid position player and immediate roster eligibility, while Monasterio’s strong batting but average defense complicates decisions at shortstop.
• Roman Anthony is expected to return as the everyday left fielder, potentially displacing players like Duran, whose offensive struggles and bench depth options make his roster spot uncertain.
• Garrett Crochet’s return is likely to be limited to bullpen duties due to recovery time, with existing pitchers Chapman and Miller holding their roles, making any roster changes dependent on replacing a left-handed pitcher like Moran.
