Mickey Gasper is heating up with the Red Sox, turning around a shaky start by thriving in a new role as a platoon DH—especially against righties. After being sidelined earlier this season and struggling last year, he’s now delivering clutch hits, including back-to-back homers, while filling in for the injured Yoshida. The team’s smarter approach—letting him avoid catching and leadoff duties—is paying off, as his .281 average and recent two-hit, two-walk game against Arizona show he’s becoming a reliable offensive spark plug. With the roster thin due to injuries, Gasper’s timely contributions are helping the Red Sox stay alive in the playoff race—and proving that sometimes, the perfect role can unlock a player’s full potential.
