Ima Gun-Di. Garielvin Silverio. Jace Mataczynski. Salacious B. Crumb. Tobias Beckett. Jedixson Paez. Half of these are characters from the Star Wars universe; the other half are Boston Red Sox prospects. That doesn’t have much to do with the rest of this piece, but recent Red Sox call-up Jedixson Paez’s name starts with “Jedi” and sounds really cool, so my mind went to Star Wars. (Note: it’s pronounced Head-Ick-Son).Paez hails from Venezuela, whose rate of pumping out baseball players rivals Tatooine’s rate of pumping out jedis. Was Obi-Wan Kenobi from Tatooine, or did he happen to live there when Luke…

Adley Rutschman may be healthy after all. Two days after interim Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said that the catcher’s elbow injury would likely present problems through the remainder of the season, and after Rutschman sat out for the entirety of Boston’s series against the Mariners, Rutschman returned to the lineup when the Red Sox visited Baltimore on Thursday night.
