Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
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 […]
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 […]
Raphinha has been passed fit by Barcelona after several weeks out with a hamstring injury picked up on international duty with Brazil in the United States. The Brazilian didn’t make it off the bench against Osasuna last time out but is expected to feature on Sunday when Barca face Real Madrid in El Clasico. Speaking […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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"
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Aug. 31 'Heated Rivalry' promotion at Fenway Park celebrates a show featuring pro male pro athletes having a lot of sex with each other.
The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
Good morning! The Red Sox lineup absolutely rolled one of the best pitchers in the game last night, roughing up Framber Valdez so thoroughly that he got himself intentionally thrown out of the game. But was Valdez mad at his sub-par performance, or was he mad at something else? Last week, ESPN’s Buster Olney speculated […]
Well, friends, we certainly don’t need to talk about last night’s game against the Red Sox, but we also don’t have much good news to share in today’s news brief either. The Tigers reported on Monday that Tarik Skubal would be headed to the IL and would undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his […]
Things have not gone well for the Detroit Tigers in the second half of their current homestand against the Boston Red Sox. On Tuesday night, de facto ace hurler Framber Valdez completely fell apart, coughing up 10 runs in three innings en route to a 10-3 loss. Now facing a possible sweep at home — […]
The Red Sox have won two-straight games against the Detroit Tigers. They sit at 15-21 and made the Tigers the only sub-.500 team to be leading a division. Brayan Bello pitched well — his first 7.0 inning performance since August 22, 2025 against the Yankees. Boston recorded 12 hits in the 10-3 drubbing of the […]
There are many, many reasons why baseball is the best game on Earth, but one of my favorites is its relentless ability to produce wildly unexpected results. Take tonight as a perfect example: This was as close to a guaranteed Red Sox loss on paper as you could get. You had (among other things): So […]
Top Red Sox prospect Franklin Arias has been named the Eastern League Player of the Month for April, Minor League Baseball announced on Tuesday. Arias put together a monster April with Double-A Portland to open his 2026 season. In 20 games for the Sea Dogs, the 20-year-old infielder went 27-for-72 (.375) at the plate with … Continue reading "Red Sox top prospect Franklin Arias named Eastern League Player of the Month for April"
The Tigers find themselves in a precarious position early in the season. They’ve lost two starters as Casey Mize and now Tarik Skubal are out of commission, and they just dropped the first game of the series to one of the most struggling teams in the AL. They needed to start winning, if only to […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.
The Cincinnati Reds look to pick themselves up after last night’s walk-off loss (and blown save) at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Andrew Abbott will start opposite veteran righty Jameson Taillon, with first pitch in Wrigley Field set for 7:40 PM ET. Lineups for both clubs listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups REDS CUBS […]
