July 21 saw several notables land on the IL, including Jack Flaherty and Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, who went down a day earlier due to a very painful injury. But the Red Sox could get one of their injured players back on July 22.

Suarez could return very soon

The Red Sox did not play on July 21, as rain was seemingly the only element that could stop the team over the past two weeks. But interim manager Chad Tracy noted that Ranger Suarez could start for Boston on the 22nd during what will be a doubleheader against the Orioles.

Suarez was originally scheduled to return on the 21st, a little over two weeks after his last start on July 5. However, that was pushed back (h/t Boston Globe).

Jung removed

Rangers third baseman Josh Jung was pulled on July 21 with left calf tightness.

One day after Athletics infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer fouled a ball below the belt, he was placed on the 10-day IL due to ruptured testicle surgery recovery.

Additionally, the Athletics placed reliever Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day IL with a right hip impingement.
