NEW YORK – Less than 24 hours before Garrett Crochet’s Saturday start at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox southpaw was surprised to find himself besieged with autograph and photo requests from Yankees fans, young and old, who stood behind the rope line that rings the dirt behind home plate during batting practice. Crochet took their attentions as a compliment, a sign he’s proving himself to be one of those high-caliber players great enough that even the most staunchly anti-Red Sox fans in the Bronx still want his John Hancock. When he’s not pitching against their favorite team, anyway. “It was…

Roman Anthony rightfully reclaims his leadoff spot while Ceddanne Rafaela gets to be in center field for the first time in the series (not sure why that was so difficult to achieve with Wilyer Abreu on the IL, but I digress). The Red Sox jumped the Yankees in both the Wild Card and AL East standings with last night’s win and will look to further the gap behind Garrett Crochet this afternoon. After making his debut batting fifth in last night’s game, Jhostynxon Garcia is out of today’s starting lineup as Nathaniel Lowe re-enters it after some more pinch-hitting magic…
The Boston Red Sox shouldn’t be without injured outfielders Rob Refsnyder and Wilyer Abreu too much longer, according to manager Alex Cora. “Red Sox updates from Alex Cora: Wilyer Abreu hit yesterday and moved around in the OF. He’s feeling better. Rob Refsnyder ran sprints. ‘It feels like they’re gonna be back with us next week,’” ESPN’s Mike Monaco posted Saturday morning on X.

NEW YORK – Saturday is Garrett Crochet Day at Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox ace will make his third start against the Yankees this season (and of his career) in the 1:05 p.m. ET contest. Crochet’s first career game against the Yankees was in their house on June 7. He yielded five earned runs in an unusual six-inning start, but took home the win anyway as Boston triumphed 10-7. When the Yankees came to Fenway the following weekend, Crochet was ready for a rematch. He held them to a solo homer and just three additional hits in an 8.1-inning gem…
NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are pulling Walker Buehler from their rotation and sending the struggling right-hander to the bullpen.“It’s going to be his new role,” manager Alex Cora said Friday before the Red Sox continued a four-game series with the Yankees. “We’ll figure out how it goes, maybe one inning, multiple innings. Whatever it is, we don’t know yet.”Buehler’s next scheduled start would have been the opener of a four-game series in Baltimore and the Red Sox did not immediately announce who would take his turn.“It’s obviously disappointing,” Buehler said. “It’s the first time in my…

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In many ways, we learned more about the 2025 Patriots based on what transpired before their preseason finale than anything that happened between the lines against the Giants. The Patriots sat 31 of their 91 players on Thursday night, and it was an ugly day for the backups in the 42-10 loss. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez, wide receivers Ja’Lynn Polk, Kyle Williams, Kendrick Bourne and Efton Chism, running back Terrell Jennings, outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings and linebacker Jahlani Tavai are dealing with injuries, so that explains their absences. But the fact that OLB Harold Landry, WR DeMario…
Brayan Bello’s mastery of the New York Yankees is becoming routine. The Boston Red Sox right-hander once again silenced his team’s rivals Friday night, dealing seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 win at Yankee Stadium. Bello scattered three singles, walked one and struck out five before handing the ball to the bullpen, which locked down the final six outs. The performance pushed Boston past New York in the standings and underscored how far Bello has come since his early growing pains. Maturity and preparation have fueled his growth. Once prone to visible frustration, Bello now projects calm even when calls…
Jhostynxon Garcia, also known as “The Password,” is the latest Red Sox prospect to be called up in hopes he’ll provide a spark. Garcia, who was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, will bat fifth and start in centerfield as the Red Sox face the rival Yankees on Friday night. A late-August night at Yankee Stadium with the Red Sox playing arguably their most important series in years? No, not a bad night for a Major League debut. Red Sox manager Alex Cora offered a scouting report of Garcia, a 22-year-old slugger who arrives after recording a .932 OPS…
The Patriots have a difficult decision to make on 2024 fourth-round pick Javon Baker ahead of roster cuts. For now, Baker is still on the 90-man roster. The young wide receiver has done little on offense this summer but has found a niche on special teams as a gunner. “Well, I think you look at the entire body of work, and I think you try to evaluate everything, not just the special teams, but what else can they do? And in Javon’s case, he’s a wide receiver,” head coach Mike Vrabel said. “And I think the more that he does…
