The Yankees made headlines with an unusual roster construction in the Wild Card.

While the team did not, in the […]

The Wild Card series against the Yankees was probably the worst way for the 2026 season to end. Everything that was a problem at any point – struggles to score runs, the bullpen, injuries – all happened at the same time and within a matter of minutes. Two games in a row ended the Red […]
Oct. 2: Gasper had a successful Distal Biceps tendon repair today, the Red Sox announced. He mentioned earlier this week that he’s looking at a four- to six-month recovery timetable (h/t Tim Healey of the Boston Globe).

Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham has been nursing right hamstring issues since the summer. Two injured list stints and many missed games later, the problem appears to be mostly behind him, as he was activated on time for the AL Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox.

For nearly three months, the Red Sox made it easy to forget how their season started.They were once 14 games under .500 and seemingly headed toward another lost summer. Then something clicked and Boston ripped off 15 consecutive wins, went 27-3 from the beginning of July into early August and, at one point, won 32 of 37 games.
