Young left-handers Connelly Early, Kyle Harrison and Payton Tolle are among the 12 pitchers who will be available when the Red Sox face the Yankees this week at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox will also carry 14 position players, including two catchers and a five-player bench. Right-hander Lucas Giolito, who Alex Cora announced yesterday is dealing with elbow soreness, is not on the roster.

All week, Mike Vrabel’s message to the Patriots was get back to basics. Well, how about back to butt-kicking? The Patriots whooped the Panthers on Sunday, out-coaching and out-playing them in a way they hadn’t beaten anyone in almost four years. Marcus Jones powered them with a 87-yard punt return touchdown, then teed up another score with a 61-yard return minutes before halftime. Without Jones, the Pats don’t dominate like they did. But that, of course, wasn’t all. The Patriots’ offense almost matched its explosive play total from Weeks 1-3 and went a perfect 4-of-4 on trips inside the red…
A part of me is impressed that the Yankees even continued as a going concern following the 2004 ALCS, in which they succumbed to an epically embarrassing collapse the likes of which we will never see again in the history of professional sports. They probably should’ve folded up shop right there on the spot after the final out of that series, knowing that they sullied their once proud name for good, and did so in such an embarrassing way that even their grandchildren would be forced to live with a lifetime of shame.But they didn’t! The Yankees kept playing baseball…
Over the course of six hours on Monday, the Celtics held their 2025-26 media day at their Auerbach Center practice facility. Thirteen players, two Celtics decision-makers and one world-renowned scientist held news conferences during the marathon event, which took place one day before Boston’s first training camp practice. Here was one big takeaway from each of those 16 pressers: Brad Stevens The word of the day for Stevens was “unproven.” Boston’s president of basketball operations used it four times to describe his team’s roster, which lost half of its rotation this offseason while adding just one player with real NBA…
Alex Bregman will be pivotal to the Boston Red Sox making a deep playoff run, but the October veteran may not begin the postseason at 100 percent. Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday, per the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey, that Bregman is feeling under the weather. The third baseman traveled to New York away from the team after sitting out the final two games of the regular season. However, Breslow expects Bregman to play Game 1 of the Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees on Tuesday. WEEI’s Rob Bradford posted a video of Bregman practicing…

Jeremy Swayman atoned for some shaky moments in the second period with some big stops in the third period and overtime that included a Philadelphia Flyers power play but he couldn’t quite finish the job in the shootout. Bobby Brink scored the lone goal in the skills competition to lift the Flyers to a 3-2 victory in preseason action at TD Garden on Monday. Swayman got better as the game went on while David Pastrnak, who missed the first few days of training camp with knee tendinitis, looked a lot like his old self in the loss. The B’s got…
BOSTON (WHDH) – An unwelcome message on Ticketmaster for Red Sox fans. The ticketing company alerted buyers that only fans from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania will be granted access to buy tickets for the American League Wild Card Series at Yankee Stadium this week. Local Red Sox fans will get their tickets cancelled without notice and refunded, and they’ll have to get their tickets another way. “I feel bad for people from Massachusetts because they are obviously the real Red Sox fans,” said one fan Monday. “Born and raised Red Sox fan, I want to go so…
The Boston Celtics made several roster changes this offseason, which left star guard Jaylen Brown feeling disheartened about parting ways with teammates he had built relationships with over the years. “It’s a little bit sad, you know, a lot of the guys I spent a lot of time with,” Brown said Monday, via Celtics on CLNS. “We got five new players that we gotta get on boarded. So you guys can see like a really good product when we get to the floor.” Boston traded guard Jrue Holiday and forward Kristaps Porzingis, and allowed centers Al Horford and Luke Kornet…
Celtics star Jaylen Brown isn’t approaching this season any differently than he did the previous nine. He isn’t concerned with the “media narratives,” including those who label him as Boston’s No. 1 option now that Jayson Tatum will start the season on the sideline. “Obviously, it’s going to be different with JT not on the floor, but in terms of how I approach things, it’s no different,” Brown said when he joined NBC Sports Boston’s live stream during Celtics Media Day on Monday. Brown believes there’s one area of his game he’ll be able showcase more, though. “I think my…
