The Boston Red Sox's playoff push has taken a turn in August, and they've lost eight of their last 12 games with some lackluster teams like the Orioles and Marlins in that mix. Their bats have slumped at the worst time, and one rough performance among them can't be ignored.
Abraham Toro started off hot for the Red Sox, but he's come back to earth in the last few months as one of the worst qualified hitters in the big leagues. Boston signed the infielder on a minor league deal before the start of the season as a depth piece, but he quickly became critically important after Triston Casas' season-ending injury.
