- On September 4, 2001, pitching coach John Cumberland was fired and replaced by Ralph Treuel.[106]
- On June 9, 2003, Dave Wallace replaced Tony Cloninger as pitching coach when Cloninger left the team to receive treatment for cancer;[107] Goose Gregson had filled in for Cloninger during April 5–23 and again May 30–June 8.
- During 2004, from May 6 to July 22, Bill Haselman filled in for first base coach Lynn Jones who required eye surgery after accidentally poking himself with a screwdriver.[108]
- During 2006, Dave Wallace missed much of the season due to illness; bullpen coach Al Nipper served as interim pitching coach and Ralph Treuel serving as interim bullpen coach until Wallace's return on August 8.[109]
- In August 2015, due to manager John Farrell's leave of absence for cancer treatment, bench coach Torey Lovullo was elevated to interim manager, bullpen coach Dana LeVangie was elevated to interim bench coach, and Triple-A pitching coach Bob Kipper was promoted to Boston's bullpen coach.[110]
