Pop Quiz! The Minnesota Twins sent five pitchers to the mound tonight with the follow last names: Ohl Tonkin Funderburk Sands Varland Can you give me the first name of any of them? To be fair, this was largely a throw away game for Minnesota, who essentially penciled themselves in for a loss earlier this week when they traded away tonight’s originally scheduled starter Chris Paddack to Detroit. With their rotation in shambles, the Twins turned to a guy with the last name of Ohl (I’m still not giving the answer yet), who made his major league debut and gave…
Charlie McAvoy is in a good place physically and mentally. That much was clear when he was all smiles coming off the sheet at Warrior Ice Arena on Tuesday. But the last time we spoke with the Bruins’ top defenseman, that wasn’t the case. It was on break-up day in April and, for the first time in his pro career, the B’s had not made the playoffs. Weighing even more heavily on his mind was the shoulder injury and infection he had suffered during the Four Nations tournament that cost him the rest of the season. Physically, he was just…
Garrett Whitlock was unavailable for the Boston Red Sox on Monday due to sickness. He was reportedly hooked up to an IV before the game. The sickness was caused by a turbulent plane ride that had to make an unscheduled pit stop in Detroit. Whitlock returned to the mound on Tuesday and pitched a scoreless eighth inning. With the sickness behind them, the Red Sox made the most of the story and unveiled a new celebration. Throughout their 8-5 win over the Minnesota Twins, Red Sox players mimed an airplane after extra base hits. After the game, the Red Sox…
Byron Buxton went on the 10-day injured list before the game, Carlos Correa exited the game after two innings, and it was 25-year-old right-hander Pierson Ohl’s big-league debut. After falling to the Minnesota Twins late Monday night following a frustrating weather delay between the top and bottom of the ninth, Tuesday presented a prime opportunity for the Red Sox, if they could only seize it. Capitalizing consistently isn’t this team’s greatest strength, but you wouldn’t know it watching them in this 8-5 Red Sox win. After slow and frustrating goings in the early innings – Jarren Duran’s two-out double in…

Linebacker R.J. Moten made his Patriots practice debut Tuesday, wearing No. 46. Moten, an undrafted rookie out of Florida, joined New England following a stint with the Michigan Panthers in the UFL. A former safety at the University of Michigan, the 6-foot, 224-pound Moten tallied 88 total tackles, two sacks and five passes defended across 88 collegiate games. To clear a 90-man roster spot, the Patriots placed UDFA fullback Brock Lampe on injured reserve. Signed in May out of Northern Illinois, Lampe was viewed as a viable candidate to crack the 53-man roster, as offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ scheme traditionally…
The Boston Red Sox haven’t done anything fun before the trade deadline, but they are taking care of business. Boston has plenty of needs to fill before the deadline hits at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, including starting pitching, relief help and some sort of upgrade at first base. I don’t know if anyone would place catching depth above any of those options, though, which is likely why the club took an alternate path to fill that void. The Red Sox reportedly signed catcher Chadwick Tromp, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive. Tromp was seen working pregame with Triple-A Worcester…
The New England Patriots took the practice field Tuesday without their top two cornerbacks, Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis. Gonzalez left Monday’s training camp session with a hamstring injury, while Davis, one of the Patriots’ key offseason additions, has missed several practices due to an undisclosed ailment. NFL insider Jordan Schultz shared encouraging news on Gonzalez’s status Tuesday, reporting that his injury isn’t expected to affect his Week 1 status. Nonetheless, it’s a concerning situation for a Patriots defense that is expected to be the team’s strength in 2025. If Gonzalez and/or Davis are sidelined to start the season, it…
Red Sox Nation is setting the record straight after U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy wrongly called out John Henry for not paying Fenway Park concession workers a better wage. “Hey @RedSox I’m a diehard fan,” the Connecticut Democrat stated in a social media post Monday evening, “but the fact that your owner John Henry doubled his net worth in just 5 years – to $5.5 BILLION – and you pay many of your workers $10/hour less than comparable earners in the area…it stinks.” Murphy posted his thoughts after concession workers took to the picket line during the weekend series between the…
