The Boston Red Sox<\/a> had two players recognized by MLB for their strong August.<\/p>\n

Aroldis Chapman named the American League Reliever of the Month, while Roman Anthony was named the American League Rookie of the Month.<\/p>\n

In 11 innings pitched for Boston last month, Chapman recorded eight saves and struck out 14 batters. The right-hander also didn\u2019t allow a hit and had a 0.00 ERA.<\/p>\n

Chapman is having one of his best seasons with a 1.00 ERA with 28 saves and 77 strikeouts. <\/p>\n

The Red Sox gave Chapman<\/a> a one-year extension last month<\/a> worth a guaranteed $13.3 million in 2026 and includes a vesting option for 2027.<\/p>\n

Anthony, meanwhile, slashed .304\/.390\/.520\/.909 with six home runs and 13 RBI in August. <\/p>\n

The rookie suffered an oblique injury<\/a> in Tuesday\u2019s win over the Cleveland Guardians<\/a>. He\u2019ll undergo an MRI on Wednesday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt sucks,\u201d Anthony said after the game. \u201cI\u2019m hoping for the best and staying positive, but anytime I\u2019m not out there, I\u2019m pretty pissed off. It sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n
