The Red Sox will be without one of their biggest workhorse relievers for much of the home stretch. The club announced Friday that left-hander Brennan Bernardino has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain and that fellow lefty Chris Murphy has been recalled from Triple-A to take his place on the roster. The move is retroactive to Sept. 10, meaning Bernardino could be eligible to return in time for the team’s final regular season series against the Detroit Tigers. Bernardino has been a mainstay of the Red Sox bullpen over the past three seasons and…

Tonight the Red Sox open their biggest regular season series against the Yankees in years, and the winner will assume pole position in the AL Wild Card race for the final two weeks. With the stakes as high as they get, the Red Sox will hand the ball to Lucas Giolito first for Friday’s opener. Giolito (10-3, 3.38) is coming off an up-and-down outing in which he allowed four runs (only two earned) over five innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks. Prior to that he allowed one run over six innings despite walking five, but overall the veteran righty…
The Boston Celtics will have several new starters this season, with power forward representing a significant question mark. MassLive’s Brian Robb published his Celtics Mailbag on Friday and was asked, “Who should start at power forward this season?” Robb explored several options for the Celtics’ starting power forward, including going small with Sam Hauser. “The power forward starting spot is likely to be a key indicator of Joe Mazzulla’s approach to the season,” Robb wrote. “The team could go with an all-offense look and start Jaylen Brown/Sam Hauser at the forward spots, leaving the team looking quite vulnerable from a…
Our favorite NBA Draft actually occurs in August. Right after the league releases the schedule for the upcoming campaign, season ticket holders often huddle to divide packages split among friends and family. And the proceedings can be electric. We’ve heard from multiple ticket-holders how much time and energy goes into plotting their draft strategy. Is opening night a first-round pick that year? (It certainly was last year.) How long will the lone Lakers visit stay on the board? Which opposing players are must-see when they come to Boston? For Day 10 of our Ramp to Camp series, we asked our…
By LARRY LAGE MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — Barry Sanders was not motivated by statistics during his Pro Football Hall of Fame career, memorably opting to retire instead of playing one more season to likely break the NFL’s all-time rushing record. “It never was a driver for me,” Sanders said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. Nearly 15 months after he had a heart attack, cholesterol numbers have become critically important for the Detroit Lions great. Sanders is hoping to encourage people to talk with their physicians about their cardiovascular health. “I hope that they take advantage of…
Coming off their its Div. 1 state title in 20 years, Wellesley is poised to make another run with coach Dave Wainwright at the helm. The Raiders may have graduated eight seniors, but they still have several returners to their varsity squad and are always tested with a tough Bay State Conference schedule. “It’s challenging,” said Wainwright about having to regroup this offseason with only four rising juniors. “So many responsibilities that need to be filled and those responsibilities were relegated to underclassmen.” Now, senior captains Emily Burnham, goalie Cam Walsh, versatile midfielder Caroline Keye and Ellery Gerhart are the…
The New England Patriots are looking to get back on track against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Mike Vrabel’s squad didn’t get off to the best start during their season-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, though that matchup did provide some insight into what exactly they’ll need to correct heading into their first divisional matchup on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. I’ve got seven specific storylines to keep your eye on: 1. WEATHER WORRIES The Patriots have historically struggled during early-season games down south, dropping three of their last four games played at Hard Rock Stadium in September…
We’ve talked about Alex Bregman’s forthcoming opt-out about as much as we’ve talked about his play on the field lately. Following last week’s report from Jeff Passan that Bregman is likely to opt-out of his contract at the end of the season, Sox CEO Sam Kennedy was asked about it during a radio appearance today and expressed surprise, saying that the team hasn’t discussed anything with Bregman beyond this season, but that “he wants to be here [and] we want him to be here.” So there you go: everyone loves it here in our fair Commonwealth.And it’s not surprising that…
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week during the NFL regular season, I will drop five Patriots-related thoughts on Friday to recap the week that was in Foxboro and look ahead to kickoff. Ready, set, football. 1. Don’t panic It’s Sept. 12. We are 6% of the way through the NFL regular season; the equivalent of less than three series into the MLB calendar and five games into an NBA season. So, barring a total collapse Sunday in Miami — and I am talking about an epic disaster involving a serious Drake Maye injury — any ongoing panic over the…
