Whether or not Don Sweeney lands any help for his team by now and Friday’s trade deadline, it is a good bet that the Bruins general manager will be shaking the tree to see what falls out until the 3 p.m. ET cut-off. With all the names to which the B’s have been linked over the past couple of weeks, from Robert Thomas to Rasmus Ristolainen to Oliver Ekman-Larson (yet again), you have to assume that Sweeney is at least doing his due diligence. The work may not yield anything – in fact, he did lay the groundwork for standing…
Friday could be comeback day for Jayson Tatum. On their latest injury report, the Celtics upgraded Tatum from out — his designation on every prior report as he worked his way back from Achilles surgery — to questionable for Friday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks at TD Garden (7 p.m.; ESPN). If he is activated, it would be Tatum’s first appearance since May 12 of last year, when he ruptured his Achilles in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks. Tatum underwent surgery the following day and spent the last 9 1/2 months rehabbing —…

By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Sofia Tepichin was about 30 minutes into her club soccer team practice in October when she spotted a fast-approaching defender. She tapped the ball away and hopped over the defender’s outstretched foot, came down awkwardly and heard a “pop.” She immediately fell to the ground, pain shooting through her left knee and knew it wasn’t good. It was, she said, “heartbreaking.” “And I knew personally that I tore my ACL,” Tepichin said. Tepichin joined the growing ranks of female high school athletes tearing their anterior cruciate ligament, a devastating knee injury that researchers…

FORT MYERS, Fla. – In this analytics- and technology-heavy age of baseball, mere mortals have plenty of ways to dissect, pinpoint and highlight what makes athletes extraordinary. But how do players assess one another? Certainly, a person who’s extraordinary in their field sees their fellows through a different lens than the outside observer. At this point in the calendar so much is unknown about a team’s identity, and it can be difficult to cut through the noise of roster turnover, role changes and injuries. So, what’s standing out to members of the 2026 Red Sox about each other? Which teammates’…
We live in a world that’s increasingly predetermined. From the results in your search engine, to the next spoon-fed video YouTube recommends, to the advertisements you’ll see in this very article (which by the way you’ll see a lot less of if you sign up for Over The Monster and join our little community). Equations and algorithms run our life.Enter the Red Sox rotation, which like our lives, feels increasingly preprogramed. There SHOULD be an intriguing little battle between Johan Oviedo, Connelly Early and Payton Tolle for the final spot behind Garrett Crochet, Ranger Suarez, Sonny Gray and Brayan Bello…
FRAMINGHAM – The stature of 5-foot-3 St. John’s of Shrewsbury sophomore Nico Santella is far different from that of 6-foot-3, former Dream Team forward Daniel Menyalkin (Bowdoin College). And yet, a year after Menyalkin’s two golden goals powered the Pioneers to the Div. 1 state final, Santella’s state tournament legacy is also growing. With a third-period hat trick in Wednesday night’s Div. 1 state quarterfinal, in which he tied the game, took the lead, and added an empty-net insurance goal, the first-year varsity player sent a raucous student section into a frenzy as No. 8 St. John’s dethroned reigning state…
