The Red Sox, second in the NL East to Toronto, moved 1 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees in the division. Boston and New York are both in position for wild-card playoff spots.Crochet (14-5) took over…
Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet must have been somewhat surprised during Saturday’s battle against the New York Yankees. Boston’s offense gave Crochet five runs of support before the sixth inning — a rare occurrence this season! Hilariously, the Red Sox still waited until Crochet exited the game to do the majority of their mashing, pouring in seven runs in the ninth inning at Yankee Stadium, embarrassing their rivals in the process. Nonetheless, the explosive ninth inning only further solidified a win for Crochet, No. 14 on the season for the Cy Young candidate. Speaking of the Cy Young race,…
FOXBORO — As Mike Vrabel trotted off the field at halftime of his team’s preseason finale, he mentioned to Amazon Prime’s Kaylee Hartung that he wanted Drake Maye to have some “attention-getting moments” as a leader. Vrabel has been urging Maye to show leadership at every possible turn throughout the young quarterback’s second training camp. He clarified his halftime comments during a press conference on Friday, explaining that he wants Maye to garner the attention of his teammates — in a style that is his own — when he addresses them. “We talked about his leadership,” Vrabel said, “of whatever…
Mike Vrabel expected roster spots to be up for grabs ahead of the Patriots’ preseason finale Thursday night against the Giants. Vrabel was asked pregame on 98.5 The Sports Hub if three or four roster spots were available before the preseason game. “No, I would say there’s a lot more than that. This is our first year,” Vrabel said. “We’ve got to get it right. We’re going to have to get the right people in the building and on this football team. Whether that’s after their performance tonight or that’s next week, however that works, we have an obligation to…
NEW YORK – Less than 24 hours before Garrett Crochet’s Saturday start at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox southpaw was surprised to find himself besieged with autograph and photo requests from Yankees fans, young and old, who stood behind the rope line that rings the dirt behind home plate during batting practice. Crochet took their attentions as a compliment, a sign he’s proving himself to be one of those high-caliber players great enough that even the most staunchly anti-Red Sox fans in the Bronx still want his John Hancock. When he’s not pitching against their favorite team, anyway. “It was…
Roman Anthony rightfully reclaims his leadoff spot while Ceddanne Rafaela gets to be in center field for the first time in the series (not sure why that was so difficult to achieve with Wilyer Abreu on the IL, but I digress). The Red Sox jumped the Yankees in both the Wild Card and AL East standings with last night’s win and will look to further the gap behind Garrett Crochet this afternoon. After making his debut batting fifth in last night’s game, Jhostynxon Garcia is out of today’s starting lineup as Nathaniel Lowe re-enters it after some more pinch-hitting magic…
The Boston Red Sox shouldn’t be without injured outfielders Rob Refsnyder and Wilyer Abreu too much longer, according to manager Alex Cora. “Red Sox updates from Alex Cora: Wilyer Abreu hit yesterday and moved around in the OF. He’s feeling better. Rob Refsnyder ran sprints. ‘It feels like they’re gonna be back with us next week,’” ESPN’s Mike Monaco posted Saturday morning on X.

NEW YORK – Saturday is Garrett Crochet Day at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox ace will make his third start against the Yankees this season (and of his career) in the 1:05 p.m. ET contest. Crochet’s first career game against the Yankees was in their house on June 7. He yielded five earned runs in an unusual six-inning start, but took home the win anyway as Boston triumphed 10-7. When the Yankees came to Fenway the following weekend, Crochet was ready for a rematch. He held them to a solo homer and just three additional hits in an 8.1-inning gem…
NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are pulling Walker Buehler from their rotation and sending the struggling right-hander to the bullpen.“It’s going to be his new role,” manager Alex Cora said Friday before the Red Sox continued a four-game series with the Yankees. “We’ll figure out how it goes, maybe one inning, multiple innings. Whatever it is, we don’t know yet.”Buehler’s next scheduled start would have been the opener of a four-game series in Baltimore and the Red Sox did not immediately announce who would take his turn.“It’s obviously disappointing,” Buehler said. “It’s the first time in my…
