Tony Massarotti joins NBC Sports Boston Red Sox insider Evan Drellich to break down the week in Red Sox news and results:

0:18 - Evan and Tony take a look at the Red Sox 2-0 loss against the Tampa Rays on Sunday, but focus on a bigger-picture issue: Chris Sale's return to the disabled list and what his condition could be for the playoffs.

4:59 - With Sale out of the rotation for now, it's up to David Price to pitch like an ace and he's done just that for the past month. Evan and Tony evaluate Price's recent success.

11:13 - With just six weeks left in the regular season, the American League playoff race is looking as clear as ever. Tony and Evan rank which teams in the race they would rather have the Red Sox play in the postseason and when.
