Notches 14th long ball
Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win against the Rays.
Analyse
The Boston center fielder extended his team's lead to 4-1 with a 352-foot blast off Tampa Bay starter Ryan Pepiot in the sixth inning. This marks Rafaela's fifth home run in July, as he's been scorching hot with a .390 (16-for-41) average, six doubles, 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 11 games this month. The 24-year-old appears to be amid a breakout season, as he's now slashing .271/.314/.483 with 55 runs scored and 48 RBI while going 13-for-15 on steal attempts in 341 total plate appearances.

Getting first start of 2025 at 2B
Rafaela will start at second base and bat second in Saturday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analyse
Rafaela has batted ninth and played center field virtually all season, but he'll be in new spots on defense and in the lineup Saturday after his walk-off home run Friday extended Boston's win streak to eight games. He's been smoking hot of late, going 14-for-31 (.452) with four home runs, six doubles and 13 RBI during the team's win streak.

Plays hero with walk-off blast
Rafaela went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a walk-off two-run homer in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rays.
Analyse
Rafaela delivered both early and late, driving in Boston's first run with a second-inning RBI single before capping off the comeback with a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth. The 24-year-old outfielder has been hot at the plate recently, recording a hit in each of his last eight games, going 14-for-31 (.452) with five multi-hit performances, 13 RBI and nine runs scored during that stretch.

Stepping out of lineup Wednesday
Rafaela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Analyse
Rafaela will put his six-game hitting streak on hold and will head to the bench for the first time since June 18 while Jarren Duran gets a start in center field in his stead. With Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) returning from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and entering the lineup at designated hitter, the Red Sox will have a bit of a logjam in the outfield, where Roman Anthony is likely to be more of a factor moving forward. Though Rafaela is the Red Sox's best defensive center fielder, manager Alex Cora acknowledged that the 25-year-old could get consideration for more spot starts in the infield, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Though he's played exclusively in center field in 2025, Rafaela made 71 starts at shortstop and four at second base last season, in addition to playing seven innings as a reserve at third base. The keystone would seem to be the most logical position for the Red Sox to use Rafaela in order to free up more at-bats for others in the outfield, as Boston has recently been getting by with a rotation of Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton and Marcelo Mayer at the position.

Homer streak ends
Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.
Analyse
Rafaela's three-game home-run streak ended, but he maintained an extra-base hit streak that reached six games. His two-run double in the sixth inning was part of a four-run frame that broke open a scoreless tie. Rafaela is 10-for-24 with six doubles, three homers and eight RBI during his extra-base hit streak. A ninth-place batter for much of the season, Rafaela was moved up to sixth in the order for the night.
