Before he signed a four-year, $53 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, Shota Imanaga drew interest from the Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox, according to a report.

A previous report stated that the Red Sox offered Imanaga a two-year deal with $26 million in guaranteed money with vesting options for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

The Boston Red Sox acquired first baseman Garrett Cooper from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday for cash considerations.

Cooper, 33, was designated for assignment by the Cubs this week after hitting .270 with a home run and six RBIs in 12 games. His playing time was limited with the emergence of Michael Busch.

The Boston Red Sox have placed Triston Casas on the injured list with a left rib strain.

Casas, 24, felt discomfort in his rib area during his first at-bat in Boston's 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday and left the game.

He is hitting .244/.344/.513 with 6 home runs and 10 RBI on the season.

Dave McCarty, a first baseman and outfielder on the 2004 Boston Red Sox team that won the World Series, died Friday in Oakland, California. He was 54.

The Red Sox announced his death and said it was caused by a "cardiac event."

The Boston Red Sox continue to battle injury woes, with third baseman Rafael Devers dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee and outfielder Tyler O'Neill going on the injury list after the two collided during Monday's game.

Devers, a two-time All-Star, underwent an MRI on Thursday. He left Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with knee discomfort and served as designated hitter during Wednesday's game, going hitless in four at-bats with three strikeouts.

The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Nick Pivetta on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow flexor strain, their latest key player to be sidelined in a week.

Boston is off to a 7-3 start and hosts Baltimore in its home opener Tuesday. Pivetta (1-1, 0.82 ERA) has made two starts this season, allowing one run and eight hits over 11 innings with 13 strikeouts.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a fracture in his shoulder, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told reporters on Tuesday.

Story is expected to be sidelined for six months after the surgery, which is scheduled for Friday, Breslow said.

The Red Sox placed Story on the injured list late last week after he dislocated his left shoulder while making a diving stop on a hit by the Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout on Friday night.

The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a contract extension with outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela, according to reports.

Rafaela, who has appeared in just 38 Major League games, receives an eight-year, $50 million deal. Pending a physical, he'll be tied to the Red Sox through the 2031 season.

Rafaela won the starting job in center field in spring training but can also play shortstop.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story has been placed on the 10-day injured list after dislocating his left shoulder while making a diving stop on Mike Trout's hit Friday night.

The Red Sox recalled infielder David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday to take the roster spot of Story, who has been beset by injuries since joining the Red Sox two seasons ago.

Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story exited Boston's game against the Los Angeles Angels in the fourth inning Friday night after injuring his left shoulder on a backhand dive to stop a hit by Mike Trout.

Story and the Red Sox won't know the severity of his injury until he undergoes an MRI exam Saturday, but Story was somber in the clubhouse after Boston's 8-6 victory. He said he wasn't even certain whether his shoulder had dislocated after he landed on it with most of his body weight.
