When Fraser Minten’s name appeared on the Bruins’ roster for this weekend’s Prospects Challenge in Buffalo, it was a mild surprise. The tournament is usually reserved for young players in organizations’ pipelines just getting their feet wet in pro hockey. The 21-year-old Minten, a 2022 second round pick of Toronto acquired by the B’s in the Brandon Carlo trade, has played 25 NHL games between the Maple Leafs and the B’s. But his participation in the tournament was not exactly something that was internally debated. “I got a phone call saying ‘You will participate,’” Minten said with a chuckle. There…

FOXBORO — This is the quarterback cycle. Step 1: praise and projection. A young gun steps into the spotlight as a college prospect, then becomes the No. 1 overall pick, a top-10 pick or a surprise starter. He gets buried in bouquets. The talent, the moxie, the smile. Look at him. A leader of men. The face of a franchise before he’s even stepped into a regular-season huddle. The kid’s got it all, they say. Media, mostly. Fans, too. Step 2: patience. Reality hits like an unblocked blitzer. The season arrives, and the kid throws a bad pick or fails…

The first week of high school football is always unforgettable. Last Friday night, fans saw a series of stunning finishes, highlighted by a fourth-quarter rally by St. John’s Prep to topple Springfield Central (a 36-35 victory where Jordan Toribio delivered the Eagles with a last-second touchdown and two-point rush, followed by a game-clinching interception). Fans also witnessed a matchup between South Shore teams that needed triple overtime to be decided, as Patriot League heavyweight Duxbury emerged victorious on the road against a very talented Abington squad (a 52-44 final). Many expect perfection with selections. Like most do at the start…
Payton Tolle took the mound for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday against the Athletics for his third career start. He threw two innings and allowed two runs on three hits. Entering the game, the plan was for Tolle to go through the A’s lineup one time. He was working on four days’ rest for the first time, and the Red Sox want to protect his arm as he’s sped through the minor leagues. Still, the outing wasn’t what Tolle wanted. Two of the three hits he allowed were home runs, and his command was once again inconsistent. He spotted…
After unexpectedly losing the opening two games of their series in Arizona over the weekend, the Red Sox were in some trouble on Sunday. Facing a 3-1 deficit through six innings, the Red Sox were facing the very real possibility of getting swept by a sub-.500 Diamondbacks team, a setback that could have suddenly put the team in peril of potentially flirting with the possibility of missing the playoffs. Yet with a three-run seventh inning and a three-run ninth, the Red Sox salvaged a win in that series finale before winning their first two games in West Sacramento against the…
Newton North got the glass slipper to fit at just the right time last year to turn in an improbable run to a Division 1 state title as the No. 31 seed. The Tigers will hope some of that magic carries over this fall with standout defender Peter Reale, Giga Bat-Erdene, Lorenzo Grimaldi and Owen Knapp all back and with that Cinderella experience under their belts. But repeating as champions will be a monumental challenge for Newton North given the absolutely loaded Div. 1 field. Just navigating the Bay State Conference will be tough enough as Needham, which defeated Newton…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England defensive coordinator Terrell Williams will be away from the Patriots for a few days as he deals with an unforeseen health issue, coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday.Vrabel didn’t disclose the issue or say whether Williams will miss the game Sunday in Miami. He said it’s unrelated to the health issue Williams had in the spring that caused him to be away from the team during rookie minicamp.“It’s something that came up and we’ll have to run some more tests,” Vrabel said. “But we think it’s best, and I think it’s best that he focus…
Nearly three months after being acquired from the San Francisco Giants in the Rafael Devers trade, Kyle Harrison finally made his Boston Red Sox debut on Wednesday. It was well worth the wait. With Payton Tolle lasting just two innings against the Athletics, the Red Sox needed some bulk innings from their bullpen. Alex Cora summoned Harrison in the bottom of the sixth with Boston trailing 4-3 in the series finale at Sutter Health Park. The 24-year-old lefty dazzled in his first Major League appearance since June 10, scattering three hits and no walks with two strikeouts over three scoreless…
The Sox had ample opportunity to take the game today and complete the sweep, but sadly that did not happen. RISP opportunities were squandered, the pitching wasn’t stellar, and Aroldis Chapman reminded everybody that he’s human and couldn’t keep the A’s from walking off the last game of the series. Oh well. We had a split road trip, so I guess it could’ve been worse. Three Studs: Nate Eaton: Went 2-3 with an RBI double and a single. He had a good series overall. Rob Refsnyder: Hit a pinch-hit RBI double in the top of the ninth to tie the…
