As the Red Sox face Tigers ace Tarik Skubal on Wednesday, they'll welcome back one of their top lefty mashers, who hasn't played since May 1.

In a recent trade prediction, the Milwaukee Brewers send a 30-home run threat in Rhys Hoskins in return for prospect Luis Perales and utilityman Romy González.

Sauerbeck was determined to have died from "sequela of acute influenza A, including streptococcal pharyngitis," with hypertensive heart disease as a contributory factor. His manner of death was natural, and a toxicology report came back clean of any substances.

Its Wednesday, May 14 and the Red Sox (22-22) are in Detroit to take on the Tigers (28-15). Hunter Dobbins is slated to take the mound for Boston against Tarik Skubal for Detroit. The Tigers outlasted the Red Sox last night winning 10-9 in eleven innings.

Devers has been Boston's best hitter this season and has only ascended in his role as the DH. Despite that, many former Red Sox players have decided to weigh in on the Devers drama with what they believe the 28-year-old lefty slugger should do.

"But wouldn't it also make a lot of sense for Chaim Bloom — who was chief baseball officer when the Red Sox signed the extension with Devers, and in the process of succeeding John Mozeliak as the Cardinals' president of baseball operations — to do whatever it takes to get his man?" Miller says.

Set to face Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers and Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves in consecutive games, the Red Sox (and their offense) will face a historic test.
