On a September night as warm as July, the Boston Red Sox kicked down the doors of October baseball for the first time since 2021, with a come-from-behind walk-off that will not be forgotten any time soon. But for most of the nearly three-hour game, it seemed champagne and beer showers would have to wait another day. The Red Sox have asked a lot of their young arms this year, and more often than not, they have delivered. That was not the case for left-hander Kyle Harrison, whose Fenway Friday ended when he allowed five men to reach without recording…
When Marcelo Mayer underwent wrist surgery back in August the expectation was he would be out for the year. The procedure came with a three-month recovery timetable, which seemingly ruled out any chance he could return to the field in 2025. Or did it? Red Sox manager Alex Cora provided an intriguing update on Mayer’s recovery, saying the 22-year-old shortstop is feeling great and has resumed baseball activities. “I actually talked to him, he feels really good. I think he took dry swings yesterday for the first time,” Cora said. “He’s been working hard throughout the process with (strength coach…
The jury is very much still out on Drake Maye, who has made just 15 starts at the NFL level. But those 15 starts are a large enough sample size to start assessing the New England Patriots quarterback’s strengths and weaknesses. A good person to ask about those strengths and weaknesses? Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, who has devoted his post-playing career to evaluating signal-callers through his QB Confidential media platform. Warner has studied Maye’s game since the QB’s days at North Carolina and joined Patriots Insider Phil Perry on the Next Pats Podcast last fall to share his…
There’s a non-zero chance of a Boston Red Sox player making a shocking return earlier than anticipated. Marcelo Mayer underwent wrist surgery in August that was expected to end his rookie season with a three-month recovery timetable. The rookie infielder, however, isn’t giving up hope of an October comeback. Mayer is out of his brace and resuming baseball activities. The 22-year-old has begun playing catch and taking dry swings. Red Sox manager Alex Cora wouldn’t definitely dismiss the chance of Mayer returning this postseason, per the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey. “I bet he’s pushing,” Cora said.

Bruins legend Zdeno Chara is feeling at home in his new role with the Black and Gold, one he says will force him to look at the game from the “other side” while he draws back on lessons from his playing career. The Bruins have named Chara as a hockey operations advisor and mentor, officially reuniting the former 14-year captain with the organization he led to the 2011 Stanley Cup. Chara, 48, has turned into an impressive marathon runner and triathlete since retiring in 2022. He says being around the team will be his top priority, and that he’s excited about…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — One of the staples of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel’s weekly addresses to his players is to remind them about “the good, the bad and the stuff that gets you beat.”Through three games, both New England and Carolina have exhibited bad habits on offense that have contributed to 1-2 starts.While they have also shown flashes of strong offensive play, this week gives both teams a chance to establish an identity on that side of the ball.New England never led in last week’s 21-14 loss to Pittsburgh. The Patriots turned the ball over five times and scored on only…
With a magic number of one entering play on Thursday the Red Sox, well, you know. They didn’t play very well. After a brief surge of excitement to win the first two they went back to middling pitching and quiet bats. The Astros won. The Tigers won. And that coveted playoff spot remained unclaimed.Boston needs just one win to make it to October. Or a loss by the Astros to the Angels. And the Tigers stand in their way. The Astros need to win out while the Red Sox lose out in order to keep Boston from October. Of course…
FOXBORO — The Patriots had perfect practice attendance Friday with rookie left guard Jared Wilson returning to the field. Wilson had missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with ankle and knee injuries. It still seems likely that Ben Brown will start in his place, but Wilson’s participation Friday at least opens the possibility that he will play Sunday against the Panthers. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez also practiced for the sixth straight session. He did miss last Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury suffered July 28. Wilson, a 2025 third-round pick, hasn’t allowed a sack this season, per PFF. He has allowed two…
The New England Patriots will get their first glimpse of a young NFC quarterback this weekend. Bryce Young leads the Carolina Panthers into Gillette Stadium to face the Patriots in a battle of 1-2 teams. The former No. 1 overall pick has endured an erratic start to his NFL career, but New England’s defense isn’t taking him lightly. Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams praised Young’s abilities ahead of Sunday’s Week 4 matchup. “The quarterback, jitterbug back there,” Williams told reporters on Thursday. “He can make all the plays. He can make all the throws. We just have to have everybody…
