Red Sox Activate Ranger Suarez, Who Throws 4 Scoreless Innings After 15-Day IL Stint

Summary
Four scoreless innings from Ranger Suarez marked an immediate return for Boston after the left-hander was activated from the 15-day injured list before Sunday’s game against Toronto.
Suarez struck out six on 64 pitches in his first outing since a left groin strain sent him to the IL before the All-Star break, ending a roughly 2 1/2-week absence.
Alec Gamboa was optioned to clear the roster spot, and Suarez’s outing left him with a 3.15 ERA over 91 1/3 innings in his first season with Boston.
Boston also kept reshaping its roster after trading for Curtis Mead, with Caleb Durbin staying at third base for now while Mead appears headed for a multi-position role.
The moves reflect a more aggressive deadline posture from a club back in contention after a 15-game winning streak, with Boston still seeking help in the infield, behind the plate and on the pitching staff.
