Kyle Harrison warmed up for his ninth start of the season. Then, he waited over three months to throw its first pitch. On June 15, the left-hander, 24, had been minutes away from taking the mound when the San Francisco Giants pulled him off the field and told him they had just traded him for Rafael Devers. Wanting their new pitcher to build a stronger supplemental arsenal to complement his fastball, the Red Sox immediately optioned him to Triple-A until early September. His debut, in Sacramento, came in relief. On Saturday night in Tampa, Harrison finally got to make start…

Kyle Harrison made his debut in the Boston Red Sox rotation on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. He was acquired at the trade deadline as part of the return for Rafael Devers, but had spent most of the season with Triple-A Worcester before being recalled in early September.

Harrison fired six innings of one-run baseball, allowing four hits and striking…

Versatility can be a double-edged sword for a player. On one hand, it can be a player’s ticket into the National Hockey League and regular icetime.

But Pavel Zacha, drafted by the Devils sixth overall in 2015 as a centerman but has bounced between pivot and wing throughout his career, looks at his versatility more as a blessing than a curse. He just wants a little heads-up for what’s expected of him. That has been the case for Zacha in his first three seasons as a Bruin. And so far…
