The Boston Red Sox's lineup has looked a tad different under interim manager Chad Tracy.

BOSTON — Before he was fired last Saturday, Alex Cora spent the first few weeks of the Red Sox season trying to find ways to get Masataka Yoshida into the starting lineup. Chad Tracy’s early lineup choices tell a different story.

The Sox have won three straight for the first time this season, fueled by a dominant outing from Ranger Suárez, who spun an eight-inning gem, one hit, one walk, and 10 strikeouts, against the Blue Jays on Monday night.

After a chaotic first week on the job, the Red Sox’s new interim manager has spent the past couple of days trying to quickly settle into his new workplace at Fenway Park.

Helping Tracy make the transition to big league manager will be a familiar face in José David Flores, who was Tracy’s bench coach from 2022-2024. The two formed a deep connection, and a source said that Flores texted Tracy after hearing the news to tell him he’d be waiting for him.

Amid the chaos of a sudden managerial change and coaching shake-up came the calm, reassuring voice and familiar face of Chad Tracy. In Tracy, the Red Sox might have found the perfect interim manager to replace Alex Cora,
