After a slow start to the 2026 season, the Boston Red Sox elected to fire Alex Cora as manager and are finishing the campaign with Chad Tracy as the interim. The decision was made early enough for the manager switch to improve things on the field potentially. However, nothing has changed, as Boston is still in last place in the AL East.

Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow opened up about the club's struggles with June right around the corner. Breslow stated the obvious as he talked about the team faltering despite its efforts to improve, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Even so, Breslow remains optimistic about the season.
"I certainly wouldn't look back at our win-loss record over the last month and say it was this incredible success," said Breslow. "But I think we're starting to more consistently put together good at-bats… I think the quality of the at-bats, particularly against fastballs, has really improved over the last month, and that's been a focal point.
"Also, making sure we're swinging at pitches over the heart of the plate, we're not chasing, so some of those things are trending in the right direction, certainly still work to be done," continued Breslow… "The reality is, we have a hole to dig out of. I think the thing we can do is focus day to day on doing everything possible to go out and win a game."
The Red Sox are 4-6 in their last 10 games and are currently on a four-game losing streak. Nothing is going Boston's way with the summer quickly approaching. The club will have a chance to get back in the win column on Wednesday, as they take on the Atlanta Braves in the second contest of a three-game series.
