FOXBORO — On the first 11-on-11 rep of Patriots training camp 2025, quarterback Drake Maye took the snap, surveyed his options and hit his most accomplished pass-catcher on a crossing route. Welcome back, Stefon Diggs. Less than nine months removed from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, Diggs practiced without limitations Wednesday, leading New England’s wide receivers through individual and team drills. “I’m super excited,” Diggs said after practice. “Obviously, we got a good weather day. There’s a lot to be excited about. I’m just happy to be back playing football. It’s been kind of a long offseason…

FOXBORO — A packed crowd filling the metal bleachers bordering the west side of the Patriots’ practice fields erupted after Drake Maye’s first official completion of training camp went to Stefon Diggs on a short crossing route in 11-on-11 drills. If all goes as planned for the Patriots, that’s a promising premonition for the 2025 season: Maye under center, regularly connecting with a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver and a fanbase back to being fully engaged. It wasn’t the first time Maye completed a pass to Diggs, who’s fully recovered eight months after tearing his ACL four days before Halloween,…
The Boston Red Sox are keeping their options open at the trade deadline — just not swinging for the fences. The Cleveland Guardians are believed to be open to trade offers on right-hander Shane Bieber as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, While his uncertain health clouds his value, Bieber’s profile aligns with a pattern the Red Sox have followed in recent years — showing confidence in veterans returning from injury. Boston already banked on rebound campaigns from Lucas Giolito and Patrick Sandoval, both working back from elbow issues. Bieber fits that…

FOXBORO — Six months ago at his introductory press conference, Mike Vrabel memorably assessed his new team by saying he wasn’t sure the Patriots were even good enough to exploit bad football. On Tuesday, the eve of training camp, it was time to follow up. Are they good enough now? “Well, we’re closer than where we were in March or April when we got here,” Vrabel told a reporter at the start of a minute-long answer that offered a peek into his team meetings and mindset as head coach. Barely a minute later, another reporter encroached on the same territory…
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sanchez allowed four hits in a complete-game victory, Max Kepler and Kyle Schwarber homered and the Phillies beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Tuesday night.Sanchez (9-2) allowed two hits in the fourth inning and largely cruised through the other eight innings for his third career complete game.

Sanchez allowed three other singles and struck out 12, throwing 106 total pitches.The Phillies provided Sanchez with an early four-run lead. Bryce Harper provided…
He’s back. And just as good as ever. Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Rich Hill made his 2025 debut Tuesday while taking the mound for the Kansas City Royals. The left-hander went five innings, giving up three runs, but only one was earned. Hill gave up six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. He threw 90 pitches, 55 for strikes. But Hill ended up taking the loss, with the Chicago Cubs winning at home, 6-0. “I’m absolutely grateful for the opportunity to be able to put on a uniform again,” Hill said, per MLB.com’s Joey Pollizze. “I’m…
Of the 13 position players currently on the Red Sox active roster, only Masataka Yoshida has a “k” appear anywhere in their name. However, if you peruse the Red Sox box score on a daily basis, you’ll find no such shortage when it comes to that letter. Tonight, the Red Sox struck out 12 times in a listless loss to a dominant Cristopher Sanchez, who threw a complete game and is becoming a force in the frightening top half of the Phillies rotation. So on one hand, the Red Sox ran into an excellent starting pitcher and caught him on…
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has effectively barred transgender women from competing in women’s sports, telling the federations overseeing swimming, athletics and other sports it has an “obligation to comply” with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The new policy, announced Monday with a quiet change on the USOPC’s website and confirmed in a letter sent to national sport governing bodies, follows a similar step taken by the NCAA earlier this year. The USOPC change is noted obliquely as a detail under “USOPC Athlete Safety Policy” and references Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of…
