9/02/25 | Insider Says Red Sox Outfielder A 'Shoo-In' For This MLB Award. Perhaps no other player for the Boston Red Sox has improved as much as Ceddanne Rafaela during the 2025 season. The 24-year-old finished his 2024 rookie campaign with 15 home runs, 75 RBIs and 19 steals, but also 10 times caught stealing, a rough 151 to 15 strikeout to walk ratio and a meager .246/.274/.390 slash line. Rafaela also committed 12 errors last season while primarily splitting time between centerfield and shortstop. The versatile youngster has already matched his home run and stolen bases totals from 2024 with just five times being caught stealing, an improved .248/.293/.420 triple slash and has recorded 96 strikeouts against 22 walks as well.

7/29/25 | Red Sox 'embracing all the adversity' by turning harrowing flight into creative celebration. It took about 48 hours, but the Red Sox are finally able to laugh about — and even celebrate — their harrowing flight to Minneapolis on Sunday night. Two days after the team charter encountered sustained, severe turbulence both before and after an unplanned pit stop in Detroit, players turned the experience into a new on-base celebration at Target Field. Throughout Tuesday's 8-5 win, multiple players, from Ceddanne Rafaela to Wilyer Abreu, celebrated hits by pantomiming a plane with its wings going up and down. Boston's charter, which left Logan Airport shortly after Sunday's win over the Dodgers, encountered severe weather in the Midwest that left several members of the traveling party reeling due to motion sickness for more than a day.
