A promising Sunday afternoon didn’t end according to plan for Wilyer Abreu and the Boston Red Sox. Abreu gave the Red Sox a 2-1 lead over the Miami Marlins when a line drive fell out of right fielder Dane Myers’ glove and over the fence for an unusual home run. The outfielder also scored a key insurance run in the seventh, but he didn’t finish a game that got away from Boston. Boston removed Abreu after he appeared to limp home on an Abraham Toro sacrifice fly. The Red Sox revealed, per MassLive’s Christopher Smith and multiple reports, that they…

Marcelo Mayer’s rookie season is officially over. The 22-year-old infielder will miss the rest of the 2025 campaign due to a wrist injury that has held him out since July 23. Mayer and Boston manager Alex Cora spoke Sunday about the diagnosis, which came after he got an injection to try to come back. Ultimately, the right wrist has a tear that hadn’t improved with the injection and season-ending surgery was the only option. “As an athlete and somebody that loves this game so much, all I want to do is play and be out there every single day, especially…

Dane Myers came within a glove of making one of the most impressive catches we’ve seen at Fenway Park all season, only to instead earn himself a place on the next decade’s worth of Baseball Bloopers lowlight reels. But while the Miami Marlins outfielder’s misfortune was the Red Sox’s gain, Myers wound up redeeming himself in a big way. After bobbling Wilyer Abreu’s fourth-inning fly ball over the right field fence for a two-run home run, Myers came back to tie the game with a solo shot off Greg Weissert in the top of the ninth. Jakob Marsee followed with…

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow had an important job this offseason: fix the bullpen. Red Sox fans were stoked when Breslow signed flamethrower Aroldis Chapman (who wouldn’t be?), but another bullpen addition that Breslow made flew under the radar, especially in hindsight. When Breslow snagged 37-year-old reliever Justin Wilson on a one-year, $2.25 million deal on November 14, it seemed like a small bet on an older player who might not be as good anymore. But the 2025 season has shown that this was a smart choice. On Sunday, FanSided’s Brandon Glick pointed out that Wilson should…
