So what’s the deal with Wilyer Abreu? When the outfielder first strained his right calf two weeks ago, there was initially some hope that it was minor enough that he wouldn’t have to go on the IL at all. But not only did he go on the 10-day IL, he’s still on it, more than 10 days later. Abreu is staring a “running progression,” but this isn’t what I love to hear from Alex Cora: “Are we concerned? Yes and no. He’ll be back at one point, but I think it’s been longer than expected.” (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)I’ll say…

Head coach Mike Vrabel expects wide receiver Stefon Diggs to be ready for the Patriots’ Week 1 matchup with the Raiders. It seems the team is still in wait-and-see mode with cornerback Christian Gonzalez, however. Vrabel spoke Tuesday morning on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” about Diggs’ Week 1 availability. “As of today, he’ll be out there,” Vrabel said on the radio. Diggs avoided the PUP list entering training camp despite tearing his ACL in late October. He’s been a full participant in practice throughout the summer and is expected to be quarterback Drake Maye’s top pass-catching target as an…
Perhaps no other player for the Boston Red Sox has improved as much as Ceddanne Rafaela during the 2025 season. The 24-year-old finished his 2024 rookie campaign with 15 home runs, 75 RBIs and 19 steals, but also 10 times caught stealing, a rough 151 to 15 strikeout to walk ratio and a meager .246/.274/.390 slash line. Rafaela also committed 12 errors last season while primarily splitting time between centerfield and shortstop. The versatile youngster has already matched his home run and stolen bases totals from 2024 with just five times being caught stealing, an improved .248/.293/.420 triple slash and…

FOXBORO — Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez did not practice Monday, and his status for this weekend’s season opener seems to be increasingly in doubt. Gonzalez suffered a left hamstring injury during a training camp practice on July 28, and hasn’t practiced since. Initial reporting suggested the Patriots were targeting a Week 1 return for Gonzalez, though after missing Monday’s session he has just three practices left this week to prepare for the Raiders. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel addresses Gonzalez’s status before Monday’s practice. “Well, it just hasn’t gone — again, (Gonzalez)’s working hard,” Vrabel said. “Whether it’s, say, one injury…
With each MLB club’s active roster expanding from 26 to 28 at the start of September, the Red Sox had an opportunity to add a pitcher and a position player ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Guardians. Both players called up were familiar faces, though one wasn’t exactly on anyone’s radar heading into the week. The Red Sox announced Monday morning they had called up right-hander Zack Kelly and catcher Ali Sanchez. Sanchez briefly played for the Red Sox earlier this month before being designated for assignment, but he was reacquired in a minor league trade with the New…
Mike Vrabel spoke to reporters about the New England Patriots releasing Jabrill Peppers. The Patriots head coach addressed the team’s unexpected decision to part ways with the veteran safety on Monday, per the team transcript. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Jabrill as a person and as a player, and what we felt like was in the best interest of the team at this point was allowing him to have another opportunity elsewhere,” Vrabel said. “There’s a lot of things that go into these decisions. They’re never easy, and we’re just trying to get it right collectively.” Vrabel said…
A lot has changed in New England over the past year, and that’s certainly reflected in the Patriots’ new on-field leadership. The Patriots announced their captains for the 2025 season Monday, a group of six players that was voted on by their teammates. Here’s the list: Quarterback Drake Maye Tight end Hunter Henry Linebacker Robert Spillane Edge defender Harold Landry III Cornerback Marcus Jones Safety/special teamer Brenden Schooler It’s an interesting list, both for who was chosen and who wasn’t. Here are a few immediate takeaways: Drake Maye among four first-time captains Maye, Jones, Landry and Schooler are all assuming…
When it comes to depth, Divisions 3 and 4 for MIAA Football appears to be as strong as it can get. Yearly powers like Mansfield, North Attleboro, Walpole, Duxbury, and Scituate already headlined the levels. However, notable drop-downs from big-time programs like King Philip, Marshfield, and Barnstable solidify that depth even more. For King Philip, the move aligns the program with several Hockomock league foes while still providing high-leverage matchups throughout the season. The Warriors have been a top contender in Division 2 over the years, notably reaching the Super Bowl in every season since 2021 and winning it in…
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Bill Belichick’s first run as a college coach at North Carolina is officially underway.The NFL coaching great took the field Monday night for his college debut with the Tar Heels against TCU, sporting a familiar look from the pro sideline with a gray hoodie — only this one bearing the name “Carolina Football” in that distinctive shade of light blue.His Tar Heels got off to a sprint of a start, too. They marched 83 yards on the opening drive and found the end zone with Caleb Hood’s 8-yard run through the right side — ending what was…
