It’s time to turn up the heat at New England Patriots training camp. After four days of mostly non-contact practices, the Patriots will put on the pads for the first time Monday on the fields outside Gillette Stadium. That means we should see more contact, and more opportunity for the offensive line and defense to work on their craft at full speed. Follow along with our live blog as we keep you updated on all the sights and sounds from Monday’s session. Source link

The start of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers has been delayed. The Red Sox announced shortly before the game’s originally scheduled 1:35 p.m. start that the game will be “delayed briefly” due to weather in the area. “Conditions are expected to improve this afternoon,” the announcement reads. “Further updates will be provided when available.” The club subsequently announced the game will now start at 2:15 p.m. The Red Sox enter Sunday with a 56-50 record and hold a half-game lead over the Texas Rangers for the final spot in the American League Wild Card race. Boston is also…

Joe Kelly may be nearing a reunion with the Los Angeles Dodgers — assuming he still has some fight left in him. The former Boston Red Sox reliever is expected to throw for the Dodgers in the coming days, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. The 37-year-old has not pitched this season but has made clear he hopes to return and that he only wants to do so with the defending World Series champions. Kelly’s original time with the Dodgers came in two chapters, the first running from 2019 through 2021. Over that span, he logged 105 ⅓ innings and…

Are we breathing? Are we good? Man, that was a butt clenching, edge of your seat game for the most part. Walker Buehler just can’t get out of his own ways, which is frustrating and hopefully illuminating to Craig Breslow as he has big decisions to make this week. If there’s any glaring place to address, it has to be the rotation. Five walks for him, and frankly nine total for the staff in the game, is a big problem. It could have ended a lot more disastrous than the actual result. It only took one counterpunch of a frame…

The Patriots are heading into their second week of training camp, and we have a much better sense of where things stand on the depth chart. Here’s an updated look at the Patriots’ 90-man roster battles: QUARTERBACK Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs, Ben Wooldridge No surprises here through three practices, though Dobbs has struggled at time, and Wooldridge has made some decent passes. The biggest questions here are whether the Patriots are satisfied with Dobbs as their backup and Wooldridge as their third-string option. It still feels like the Patriots could use an upgrade in depth behind Maye. RUNNING BACK Rhamondre…

The Boston Red Sox reportedly promoted two pitching prospects on Sunday. Connelly Early and David Sandlin are headed to Triple-A Worcester, according to Beyond the Monster’s Andrew Parker. SoxProspects’ Chris Hatfield confirmed the news, which comes at an interesting time. Boston is currently preparing for what promises to be an impactful trade deadline, so perhaps these promotions were made as a precursor to another bigger move that is still coming together? It’s also entirely possible that the timing is completely coincidental, but where is the fun in that? Early (No. 10 on SoxProspects), Sandlin (No. 11) and Peyton Tolle (No.…

STOUGHTON – It’s hard to envision where the state of Massachusetts hoops would be without Wally Seaver. Seaver passed away in 2013 following a courageous battle with ALS. Since that day, his son Paul, his family, and the state’s basketball community have made it a mission to honor his memory with a tournament, one which has continued to expand in participation with each passing summer. On Sunday, the 14th annual Wally Seaver High School Invitational commenced, with some of the top teams in New England taking part. “I think we started with 16 teams,” said tournament assistant Greg Lewis. “Today,…

FOXBORO – The substantial expansion of the Wally Seaver High School Invitational over the last decade has opened the floor for basketball teams from six different states to show off their skills within a massive pool, all in the name of fundraising to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A year after falling short in one of the finals in 2024, Trinity (N.H.) traveled almost 100 miles one-way to seal the deal in the invitational’s 14th edition of its “main event” Sunday afternoon at Mass Premier Courts. Trinity went unbeaten in pool play of the Blue Division before topping Attleboro in…
