Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Red Sox News & Links: Giving thanks for rookie starters
The Red Sox and Phillies have had similar starts to the season: they’re two big ballclubs with big aspirations who both immediately fell on their faces, prompting two managerial firings. And while the Phillies have done a better job righting the ship under their new skipper than the Sox have, they’ll both share some history […]
Opposition research: Trevor Story
The Phillies and Red Sox have a lot in common this season. After making the playoffs in 2025, both teams made offseason moves that weren’t embraced by many fans. And both got off to poor starts that resulted in an early season firing of the manager. Another thing the teams have in common: They’ve gotten […]
The Red Sox need to move on from Trevor Story
The Boston Red Sox are mid… I’ll be the first to admit that it’s looking like “mid” might be enough to secure one of the final playoff spots in the American League in 2026, but you aren’t exactly allowed to fall under that distinction when you’re routinely trotting out suboptimal lineups, unable to play the […]
Phillies meet Red Sox in battle of struggling teams with new managers
Despite their best efforts — and the effort was there on Sunday by Payton Tolle and others — the Red Sox lost another series. This time to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Sox briefly rose to 4th place in the AL East before the Sox dropped the series, the Orioles won, and Boston returned to […]
How do you feel about MLB’s balanced schedule?
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation. The Red Sox start a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies today. It marks the fifth National League opponent the Red Sox have played over the first month of the season. The balanced schedule has been around for a few years now, with fewer divisional games and everyone playing everyone, […]
Red Sox catching prospect Luke Heyman off to strong start with Low-A Salem
Six weeks into his first full professional season, it appears as though Red Sox catching prospect Luke Heyman may be ready for a new challenge. Heyman, whom the Red Sox acquired from the Mariners for reliever Alex Hoppe in November, has been on an offensive tear as of late for Low-A Salem. In five games … Continue reading "Red Sox catching prospect Luke Heyman off to strong start with Low-A Salem"
Lauren Young Announces Her Transfer To Marquette Volleyball
Mid-May is a little bit of an odd time to be making additions to a volleyball roster, but it is right as school years are wrapping up around the country. Maybe that’s the explanation behind UNC Wilmington setter/opposite hitter Lauren Young announcing that she will transfer to Marquette for the 2026 volleyball season. The caption […]
Red Sox’ Brooks Brannon named Eastern League Player of the Week
Red Sox power-hitting prospect Brooks Brannon has been named the Eastern League Player of the Week for the week of May 4-10, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Appearing in four of Double-A Portland’s five games against New Hampshire, Brannon enjoyed a productive, albeit rain-soaked week at Hadlock Field. The right-handed hitter went 9-for-15 (.600) … Continue reading "Red Sox’ Brooks Brannon named Eastern League Player of the Week"
Red Sox News & Links: Injury updates on Ranger Suárez, Roman Anthony
For all the consternation about Caleb Durbin’s bat, at least his glove appears to working just fine. “Not hitting stinks when you feel like you’re a good hitter and you feel like you should be helping the team and producing on that side of the ball, but I know I can impact the game outside […]
Mountain West Connection Baseball Power Rankings: Week 13
With two weeks left in the season, all of the Mountain West had some sort of playoff implications play out. UNLV and GCU made it interesting with San Jose State, as all three programs are within a game of each other after their series against Fresno State, New Mexico and San Diego State and are […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Anthony Eyanson makes first Double-A start, Franklin Arias rakes
Worcester: L, 2-3 (BOX SCORE) Alec Gamboa went from making his Major League debut earlier in the weekend to pitching five innings of one-run baseball for the WooSox in the finale against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Yankees AAA). Unfortunately, Jack Anderson would come in and let up what would become the game-losing home run, but let’s not pin […]
Would you give Brandon Marsh an extension?
Let’s jump straight to the question of the day: would you give Brandon Marsh a contract extension beyond this season? Is this a question based on yesterday’s performance? Perhaps, but let’s think this one through a little bit. The team’s outfield depth is near nonexistent in the minor leagues outside of maybe Dante Nori. There […]
Behind an improving Jarren Duran, the Red Sox are making progress
Well I guess that was technically better? Maybe the very nature of an awful start makes the pickings pretty slim, but we gotta take whatever we can get at this point, right? Dropping the set to Tampa obviously stings, but that was still a 4-2 record this week. That’s……………..improvement, I suppose. Even if the bar […]
Monday BP: Eleventh day of Mays-mas
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the eleventh day of Mays-mas, I thought […]

Hello and happy Monday, folks. Hope you enjoyed your weekend—shout out to all of the mothers out there. The Red Sox do not have a game tonight! They’re gonna be playing the Philadelphia Phillies next, but that series will begin on Tuesday. So, we’ve got ourselves a good ol’ fashioned off night tonight. My question […]
Marcus Rashford Discusses Potential Barcelona Future After Title Clincher
Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford scored much more than the game-winning goal for FC Barcelona today. Nine minutes in, Rashford achieved a scoring strike that proved to be the decisive blow for the La Liga title race. Ferran Torres added another goal, nine minutes in, and Barcelona beat Real Madrid, at the Camp Nou, to […] The post Marcus Rashford Discusses Potential Barcelona Future After Title Clincher appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Comeback-kid Sox take game and series, 2-1
Though things looked precarious for a moment there, but the Davis Martin Hype Train choo-choos on! In the first inning, it looked as if the 29-year-old’s magical run to start this interesting 2026 campaign might finally be at its end. Martin struggled to put hitters away early, letting in a run in the first inning […]
Red Sox 1, Rys 4: Momentum Ends On Mother’s Day
Coming off the first sweep of the season, the Red Sox seemed to have some momentum and a chance to win over some fans with a home series against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the Rays’ roster isn’t full of superstars, they’ve played really good baseball over the first month of the season, making them […]
Win one for Mom: Rays 4, Red Sox 1
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in DRBland. The Rays were in Boston, where everyone was wearing a touch of pink to wrap up the weekend series. The Rays were first in the AL East by a wee little percentage point and hoping to push ahead and claim it properly this week. To deal […]
Game No. 40: Rays at Red Sox — Payton Tolle takes the mound in emotional Mother’s Day outing
Sometimes the universe — and especially the baseball universe — just lines things up in beautiful, unexpected ways. Today, Payton Tolle is starting on Mother’s Day because the most powerful mother of all — Mother Nature — decided the Red Sox and Rays weren’t going to play their game yesterday when Tolle was originally schedule […]
Mookie Betts finishes off rehab, Kendall George runs wild
Mookie Betts singled and walked in his second and likely final rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and played six innings at shortstop. He advanced from first to third base twice after reaching base on Saturday. In two games with Oklahoma City, Betts had two singles and a walk in his six trips to the […]
Red Sox News & Links: Justin Slaten returns, hopes to steady bullpen
With all of the consternation about Greg Weissert’s performance lately, it’s worth remembering that he’s not supposed to be a high-leverage reliever. But the mercurial nature of bullpens means that the Red Sox frequently have no choice but to use pitchers who don’t inspire the utmost confidence. But at least the Sox can now knock […]

Rays at Red Sox: Postponed
UPDATE: The game has been postponed and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on July 17. This may be stating the obvious, but weather will be a factor in this game, folks. (It’s sunny here in Seattle!) The Sox and Rays will either play through some serious bouts of rain this […]
