The Boston Red Sox need their key lineup catalyst to set the tone for an improved second half. Jarren Duran hasn’t replicated a breakout 2024 thus far. The outfielder enters Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays batting .252/.310/.398 with five home runs in 382 plate appearances. Duran regaining last year’s All-Star form is crucial for Boston to stay in the playoff mix. One MLB writer expects better results from the 28-year-old. In The Athletic’s Pulse Newsletter, Levi Weaver recalled Duran discussing his mental health struggles in Netflix’s “The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox” documentary series. Weaver feels…

JD Davison is still a part of the Boston Celtics’ plans — for now. The Celtics are exercising their team option on Davison worth $2.27 million for the 2025-26 season, according to multiple reports. Davison’s salary is non-guaranteed and doesn’t become fully guaranteed until Jan. 10, 2026, so Boston can release him at any point prior to the start of the season without absorbing a salary cap hit. Davison didn’t play much at the NBA level last season, appearing in just 16 games for the Celtics while averaging 2.1 points over 5.8 minutes per game. He thrived in the G…
Walker Buehler has spent weeks now trying to figure things out. Over the past month the veteran starter has struggled to find any semblance of consistency, and whenever he’s seemingly made a breakthrough, something goes wrong and he finds himself back at square one. In that respect, Sunday was a microcosm of his whole season. Buehler struggled again as the Red Sox lost 5-3 to the Toronto Blue Jays, their seventh loss in eight games. Buehler allowed four runs over a listless four-inning performance, and the offense squandered several key scoring chances late. As a result the Red Sox (41-44) are…

Jordan Hicks could become the first member of the Rafael Devers trade to play for the Boston Red Sox. On June 15, the Red Sox sent Devers to the San Francisco Giants for a four-player return. Hicks was sidelined with right toe inflammation at the time of the blockbuster, but the hard-throwing pitcher has made two rehab appearances at Triple-A Worcester while preparing to join Boston’s bullpen. The Red Sox may activate Hicks for their upcoming three-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds from Monday to Wednesday, per MLB.com’s Ian Browne and WBZ TV’s Dan Roche. Hicks spoke publicly for…
When Kristian Campbell made the Opening Day roster, the Red Sox quickly picked up discussions that led to an eight-year, $60 million contract extension within a matter of days. Have the Red Sox taken a similar approach with Roman Anthony? Asked prior to Sunday’s game, the top prospect told the Herald that there have been no contract talks since he made his MLB debut two weeks ago. “No, not at all. I haven’t heard a peep from anyone about anything,” Anthony said. “I think right now the goal is pretty clear for me, it’s to worry about showing up every…

Amidst their longest losing streak since September 2022, the Red Sox made three bullpen-related roster moves Saturday afternoon. Rookie right-hander Luis Guerrero has been placed on the 15-day injured list with an elbow sprain. There are no plans to send him for an MRI at this time, manager Alex Cora said. Between his debut last Sept. 8 and April of this year, Guerrero began his big-league career with 12 consecutive scoreless appearances, the most by an American League pitcher since Austin Maddox’s Red Sox debut in 2017. In franchise history, the only longer streak of its kind belongs to Robby…
The MLB trade deadline is roughly a month away, and the coming weeks should go a long way towards determining who’s a buyer, who’s a seller and who could go either way. Which path will the Red Sox take? And who could be on the move leading up to July 31? Boston has already made probably the biggest trade of the season by dealing Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has suggested the team could still try to add before the deadline. No matter what comes next, there are a number of players…
