It’s a short homestand for the Sox, who will have Thursday off before facing the Yankees in a three-game series in New York beginning Friday.
The Red Sox announced a roster move Monday afternoon, reinstating Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list and optioning Nate Eaton to Triple-A Worcester.
Richard Fitts will get the nod for the Sox in Monday’s opener. The Angels will counter with 35-year-old lefty Tyler Anderson.
Here is a preview.

Angels vs. Fitts: Has not faced any LA Angels batters
Red Sox vs. Anderson: Rafael Devers 3-7, Jarren Duran 0-4, Nate Eaton 0-5, David Hamilton 0-2, Ceddanne Rafaela 0-2, Rob Refsnyder 3-5, Trevor Story 2-4, Abraham Toro 0-3, Connor Wong 2-6
Stat of the day: Devers led MLB with 33 RBI in May, becoming the sixth player in franchise history to record at least 30 RBI and a .465 OBP or better in a calendar month.
Notes: Fitts is making his fifth start this season and the first of his career against the Angels. … Devers slashed .356/.468/.606/1.074 in 28 games in May with 14 runs scored, five doubles, and seven home runs. … Abraham Toro has held on to his spot in the lineup at first base after going 6-for-11 in the series in Atlanta. … Jarren Duran is hitless in his last 16 at-bats, dropping his OPS to .718. … Mike Trout is back in the lineup for the Angels. The three-time MVP missed almost a full month with a bone bruise on his left knee. … Anderson is 1-1 with a 5.30 career ERA. He has not won since April 18, but pitched well his last time out, allowing just two runs (one earned) in six innings in a loss to the Yankees last Tuesday.
