“There were nine teams who scouted David Robertson in Providence on Saturday, including Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and assistant Eddie Romero, with Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski winning the sweepstakes over his former team,” Nightengale reported on Twitter/X.

The Red Sox had scored just one run in their first 24 innings coming out of the All-Star break and were in danger of getting swept at Wrigley Field.

The Red Sox departed Chicago with a 6-1 win on Sunday, avoiding a sweep against the major league-leading Cubs thanks to Wilyer Abreu’s two home runs and Alex Bregman’s one.

Wilyer Abreu homered twice and drove in three runs, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 6-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep. Alex Bregman also connected as Boston rallied after managing just one run in its first two games after the All-Star break.

CHICAGO — Alex Bregman wasn’t in the Red Sox starting lineup Sunday. Manager Alex Cora and the training staff are trying to ease the All-Star third baseman back after he missed 43 games with a right quad strain.

As the Red Sox reportedly seek pitching help, they're set to scout the Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly.
