The Boston Red Sox activated Justin Slaten from the injured list on August 28. He last pitched at the beginning of June before being sidelined by a shoulder injury. While Slaten was out, the Red Sox tried several different relievers in middle relief. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman were excellent, but the middle innings were often shaky. When Slaten first returned from the injured list, he struggled. In his first six appearances, he pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed seven earned runs. His control was there, only walking two of 29 hitters, but he was hit hard, allowing seven hits…

Versatility can be a double-edged sword for a player. On one hand, it can be a player’s ticket into the National Hockey League and regular icetime. On the other, it can lead to a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none syndrome. But Pavel Zacha, drafted by the Devils sixth overall in 2015 as a centerman but has bounced between pivot and wing throughout his career, looks at his versatility more as a blessing than a curse. He just wants a little heads-up for what’s expected of him. That has been the case for Zacha in his first three seasons as a Bruin. And so far…

It’s easy to forget, but four of the last five Patriots-Steelers games have been decided by one score. Sunday should be no different. Both teams are 1-1 ahead of their first battle in New England since 2019, with Pittsburgh slated as a slight road favorite. Last weekend, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers dropped a disappointing home opener to the Seahawks because of a couple turnovers and a major special teams gaffe. The Pats, meanwhile, are trying to win back-to-back games for the first time in almost three years following a highlight-laden 33-27 win in Miami. After topping the 30-point mark…

And they’re not without merit, especially since initial reports suggested Gonzalez would only miss a few weeks and be ready for the season opener. Instead, Gonzalez missed 51 days of practice in addition to the first two games of the season, and his status for New England’s Week 3 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers is still…

Before he became a Patriots Hall of Famer, Julian Edelman was a football footnote. A seventh-round pick and college quarterback trying out a new position in the pros. But over 12 years in New England, Edelman changed. And so did the Patriots. As Edelman developed into one of the best wide receivers in franchise history, he helped power three Super Bowl titles. He secured an all-time catch during Super Bowl LI and earned MVP of Super Bowl LIII. He became a local legend, a household name. Amid all the accolades, teammates came to learn the real Edelman. A ballbuster. An obsessive…

The New England Patriots got the bounce-back Week 2 win they were hoping for on Sunday.It took responding to a 74-yard Miami punt return for a touchdown with a 90-yard kickoff return for a score, followed by a late defensive stand to secure it.It’s exactly the kind of victory that Patriots coach Mike Vrabel wants to see his team emulate going forward: a group that finds a way to win games.“It just takes one play,” Vrabel said of earning his first victory as Patriots coach. “I felt like we were willing to get into a street fight. We had a little lull,…
