It&#8217;s been reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/gonzaro01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romy Gonzalez<\/a> could be active as soon as Monday. With the Red Sox facing a few lefties in the upcoming schedule, having an extra right-handed bat might also be worth it for the Sox.<\/p>\n<h3>A Lot of Roster Movement Incoming<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to parse exactly what the roster moves might be. Both the 40-man roster and the active roster are at capacity. This means at least two moves are incoming, and one is to clear a 40-man spot.<\/p>\n<p>There are some avenues the Red Sox can take, and some that are more apparent than others. Depending on the severity of the injuries to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hendrli01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liam Hendriks<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/h\/houckta01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanner Houck<\/a>, the team may opt to place one of them on the 60-day injured list, thereby opening up a 40-man roster slot. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bregmal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Bregman<\/a> could also be a candidate to move to the 60-day injured list if the timetable for his return becomes clearer.<\/p>\n<p>Some fans speculate that it could be the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2023\/10\/08\/far-same-old-story\/\" target=\"_self\">end of the line<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/storytr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-31_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trevor Story<\/a>, but with the injury bug hitting the big league club, it&#8217;s hard to see it coming to fruition. The Red Sox owe Story <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2022\/03\/20\/trevor-story-red-sox\/\" target=\"_self\">$55 million beyond this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>RHP Luis Guerrero Back in the Big Leagues<\/h3>\n<p>Guerrero, 24, is also coming back to the Red Sox roster. The timing of this adds a wrinkle. A player cannot return from the minor leagues until 15 days have passed unless they&#8217;re replacing an injured player. Guerrero was last with the big club during their series with Baltimore just last weekend.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_101375\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101375\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-101375\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26277618-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-101375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">May 24, 2025; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Justin Slaten (63) pitches during the eighth inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park.
