Add LHP Danny Coulombe injury rehab transferred from Portland (began May 15).

Delete RHP Cade Feeney transferred to Porland.

Add C Juan Montero reinstated from development list.

Add Coach John Vaughn named WooSox coach.

The Boston Red Sox today named John Vaughn a WooSox coach. Vaughn is expected to coach 1st base for the WooSox. He was the Phillies strategy associate for Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season and was a bench coach for the Brooklyn Cyclones (most recently in 2023 during a four-year stint in the New York Mets system). This season he had been working as a replay administrator in the MLB Commissioner's Office. He's a St. John's University grad.

The Boston Red Sox today sent LHP Danny Coulombe (KOO-lohm) to Worcester to continue his injury rehab assignment that started with Double-A Portland on May 15. Coulombe was placed on Boston's injured list on May 2 with cervical spasms. In 12 relief appearances for the Red Sox this season he is 0-1 with a 5.63 ERA - 8 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 5 SO. He made his first rehab appearance as Portland's starter on May 15 at Hartford going 1 scoreless inning on 1 hit throwing 9 pitches (5 strikes). Coulombe, 36, was signed by the Red Sox as a free agent on March 12. He has played in the major leagues for six teams...the Dodgers (2014-15), Oakland (2015-18), Minnesota (2020-22), Baltimore (2023-24), Minnesota & Texas (2025), and Boston (2026). In 355 big league games he is 17-11 with a 3.41 ERA.

MAY 19th ROCHESTER (25-20) at WORCESTER (23-20) 6:05 pm

Rochester Red Wings RHP Andry Lara (1-2, 5.45) vs. Worcester Red Sox LHP Raymond Burgos (0-1, 1.80)

Hot Wings in Worcester - On the hottest day of the season with temperatures over 90 degrees and on the verge of a Worcester record for high temps on this date, the (tied for) 2nd-place Worcester Red Sox begin a 6-game series against the International League East-leading Rochester Red Wings (AAA-Washington), winners of three in a row to take over the top spot in the division, tonight at 6:05 pm at Polar Park. Rochester (25-20) comes into tonight's series opener with a 1-game lead over the WooSox (23-20) who are in a virtual tie for 2nd-place with both Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Jacksonville. The top 7 of the 10 clubs in the competitive IL East division are all separated by just 3-games. Memphis (27-18) leads the IL West division with the best record in the 20-team International League and thus, at this point, own the one playoff berth that comes with the best overall record in the 1st half (that ends on June 21). Tonight's game at Polar Park is live on NESN+ and can be heard on NASH 98.9 FM and The Pike 100.1 FM.

Home for the Holiday (Weekend Anyway) - The Red Sox and Red Wings will meet for their second series against each other this season, but their first at Polar Park, this week/weekend. The clubs split a 6-game series in Rochester from April 28 - May 3. The teams play tonight & tomorrow evenings both at 6:05 pm, Thursday morning at 11:05 am in the second of three morning affairs this season at Polar Park, Friday night at 6:05 pm and then over the Memorial Day weekend on Saturday at 4:05 pm and Sunday at 1:05 pm. By the time the WooSox enjoy an off-day on the Monday Memorial Day holiday after this series, Worcester will have completed 36% of their home schedule and 34% of their overall 150 (now 148) game schedule.

Schedule Update - Speaking of schedules, MLB and MiLB announced yesterday that the rained out game back in May 9 at Polar Park between the host WooSox and visiting Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will not be made up when Worcester visits Scranton/WB next week from May 26-31. That series in Moosic, PA will remain a 6-game set and the May 9th rainout is now considered a cancelled game. It is Worcester's second cancelled game of the season (the other on April 3 in St. Paul), so as of now the WooSox will only play 73 of their scheduled 75 first half games.

The probable pitching match-ups for the remainder of the series vs. Rochester at Polar Park this week/weekend:

Wed. 6:05 pm NESN+ RHP Chandler Champlain (4-0, 3.00) vs. LHP Jake Bennett (2-2, 1.85)

Thur. 11:05 am NESN RHP Riley Cornelio (5-1, 3.11) vs. TBD
