Cooper was scratched from Boston's lineup prior to Wednesday's game against the Rays due to right shoulder discomfort, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Cooper's injury isn't immediately apparent, but it's bothering him enough to keep him from playing Wednesday. Dominic Smith will enter the lineup to cover first base, meanwhile Cooper will have an extra day to rest Thursday before potentially returning Friday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper enjoyed a productive weekend in the Red Sox's series victory over the Nationals, starting in two of the three contests while producing three hits (two doubles, one single), one run and one RBI over six at-bats. He'll cede first base to Dominic Smith on Monday, but Cooper still looks to be locked into a near-everyday role for the Red Sox until Triston Casas (rib) returns from the injured list.

Cooper started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a double in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper recorded his first multi-hit game since being acquired by the Red Sox on April 28. He was eventually pinch hit for by the left-handed hitting Dominic Smith in the eighth inning against a righty reliever with a runner in scoring position. With Triston Casas (oblique) on the 60-day injured list, first base has become a rotation involving Cooper, Smith and Romy Gonzalez.

Cooper is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Washington, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 1-for-3 with an RBI double in Friday's loss. Vaughn Grissom will shift to DH while David Hamilton gets the start at second base.

Cooper is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale after going 0-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts. Dominic Smith will handle first base while Rafael Devers receives a turn at designated hitter.

Cooper started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Thursday's 3-1 loss to San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper was back in action after missing one game due to a right wrist injury. He was plunked by a pitch during Tuesday's game -- his Red Sox debut -- and sat out Wednesday. Bobby Dalbec started at first base Thursday, but he's expected to be optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, which will leave Cooper as the top option at first base. The lefty-hitting Dominic Smith is around to back up Cooper.

Cooper (wrist) will bat sixth as the Red Sox's designated hitter in Thursday's game against the Giants, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper didn't play in Wednesday's 6-2 win while tending to a bruised right wrist, but he'll be back in action for the series finale. Given that he's serving as the Red Sox's DH rather than manning first base, it's possible that the bruised wrist is still presenting some complications with his throwing. With Masataka Yoshida (thumb) going on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, the Red Sox can give Cooper as much time as he needs at DH to heal up from the wrist issue before he's reintegrated at first base.

Cooper (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Cooper will get a day to recover after taking a pitch off his right wrist during Tuesday's contest. While he sits, Dominic Smith will make his Red Sox debut at first base and bat seventh.
