Red Sox Minor Lines: Allan Castro walks it off in the 12th

Worcester Red Sox 10, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 8 (12 inn.) – BOX The Woo Sox got a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning, which gave a position player the win as a pitcher on Thursday night over the RailRiders (NYY). Other than that, things were pretty uneventful.  Worcester had two-hit efforts from […]

Three way-too-early Red Sox All-Star contenders

The playoff-bound Red Sox posted three All-Star selections in 2025 with Alex Bregman, Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman. The trio of offseason additions stood among the game’s top performers, though the closer was the only Boston player to suit up for the midsummer classic in Atlanta.  Baseball sits just over two months from the All-Star […]

Friday BP: Eighth 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. I think you can all guess what’s coming […]

Game 39 Preview: Tigers hit the road to take on Royals this weekend

The Detroit Tigers kick off a six-game road trip on Friday with a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Coming off a rough homestand that saw the team drop four of six — including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox — maybe a little time away […]

Rays 8, Red Sox 4; Can they just keep playing the Tigers?

I had a feeling this game wasn’t going to go the Sox way before it even started. To be fair, that isn’t saying much— most games haven’t gone the Sox way this year! But I knew the vibes would be off as soon as this came across the timeline shortly before the game started: Garrett […]

Tampa Bay Better Than the Back Bay: Rays 8 Red Sox 4

This game had a little bit of everything, both good and bad. The second inning was the story early on as the Rays showed to a national audience how they had won 12 of their last 13, before then reminding those same viewers how they got off to a 2-5 start this season with defensive […]

Game 38: Rays at Red Sox; Jake Bennett tries to keep the good times rolling

Jake Bennett knows that he’s probably going back to Worcester in the very near future. Sonny Gray is back. Garrett Crochet will likely be back soon. Ranger Suarez probably won’t even go on the IL. Payton Tolle doesn’t want to relinquish his rotation spot, nor does Brayan Bello, who hopefully has turned a Nick Pivetta-esque […]

Series Preview: Rays at Red Sox

This is what everyone expected at the start of the season. Solid pitching. Good defense. Runs on offense. The Sox head home after their first sweep of 2026, taking all three games from the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers are now under .500 at 18-20, barely better than the disaster of a start 16-21 Red Sox. […]

It’s Not My Money(ball) 2026: Gambling in All But Name

In 2022, the “It’s Not My Money(ball)” series was created in response to the owners’ lockout, which disrupted that year’s Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun). As the season completes its first month, the World Baseball Classic now a memory, we must conclude the revival of […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds preview, Thursday 5/7, 1:20 CT

Today’s roster move: Here Thursday notes… Cubs lineup: Reds lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Rhett Lowder, RHP Shōta Imanaga has just been excellent this year. A couple of starts have been not-great, but overall his numbers are outstanding, especially regarding long balls, considering his issues with them last year. He has allowed just three home […]

Red Sox Minor Lines: Justin Slaten rehabs again

Worcester: L, 7-9 (F/10) (BOX SCORE) The biggest story out of this topsy-turvy game was that Justin Slaten, a couple days removed from his opener in Portland, made another rehab start and struck out two, including Oswaldo Cabrera, while allowing a hit and walking a batter in his inning of work. He also retired Anthony […]

Thursday BP: Seventh 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 seventh day of Mays-mas, I thought […]

The Red Sox run prevention strategy just might pay off

At the end of last week, Thomas Nestico made the following post and caught many Red Sox fans off guard: Yes, that’s the Boston Red Sox up near the top of the teams leaderboard in Defensive Runs Saved, and you know what, I don’t think it’s a fluke. Up until the last handful of days, […]

What is the best rotation for the Red Sox?

With Sonny Gray returning to the rotation last night and Ranger Suarez (hopefully?) avoiding a trip to the IL, it’s time to stop and reassess what’s the best version of the Red Sox rotation going forward. Garrett Crochet last pitched on April 25th and would be eligible to come off the IL as soon as […]

Red Sox 4, Tigers 0: Flaherty better; bats and defense, not so much

The Detroit Tigers had one goal in mind on Wednesday evening: salvage one win from a three-game home series against the Boston Red Sox. It wasn’t meant to be, though, as the Crimson Hosiery completed the sweep with a 4-0 shutout victory. Making the start for the Tigers tonight was Jack Flaherty, whose troubles have […]

Red Sox 4, Tigers 0; Boston stays hot to sweep Detroit

The Red Sox look like a totally different team the last few days, or at least the one playing with real momentum. The Tigers certainly didn’t amid a .500 start and the loss of Tarik Skubal for two to three months. The latest victory showed progress in all areas of the game for the Red […]

Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera undergoes Tommy John surgery

Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday, according to senior director of player development Brian Abraham. “Juan Valera underwent successful reconstruction of the right elbow ulnar collateral ligament yesterday,” Abraham told The Boston Globe on Wednesday. “The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeffrey R. Dugas at Andrews Sports Medicine & … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera undergoes Tommy John surgery"

Report: Alisson agrees to personal terms with Juventus

If it wasn’t clear a few weeks ago, it certainly is now: Juventus want to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and give manager Luciano Spalletti the experienced, safe pair of hands in goal that he hasn’t necessarily had thus far during his tenure in Turin. That pursuit of the keeper that Spalletti worked with during […]

Game 37: Red Sox vs. Tigers; Boston gets boost looking for sweep

TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:40 p.m. ET The Red Sox found a way to take a deep breath and played relaxed over the last two nights. It’s the best thing that could’ve happened for Boston as a three-game sweep is on the line for the first time this season.  Sonny Gray returns from the injured […]

The Cubs are off to one of the best starts in franchise history

You all know that the Cubs struggled for the first 16 games of 2026, going 7-9. Since then it’s been almost all winning — 10 straight, then three losses, and now entering Wednesday night’s game against the Reds on a seven-game winning streak (and also 13 consecutive wins at Wrigley Field). I decided to see […]

Which April trends are real or fake?

The calendar has flipped to May, which means we aren’t allowed to say “it’s still only April!” any longer. That’s fairly obvious when one actually reads the calendar, but by this point in the season, some of the things that are happening on the field may actually be how the season is going to happen […]

Red Sox Minor Lines: Kristian Campbell homers off Carlos Rodon

Worcester: W, 7-6 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox enjoyed an early home run from Mickey Gasper, his fifth on the year, but the good feelings didn’t last for too long against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA). As referenced earlier, the WooSox are going to be pre-cautiously switching out their pitchers to rest arms in case the […]
