So long, Isaiah Campbell. The Red Sox demoted the struggling reliever back down to Worcester ahead of the pivotal series with the Yankees this weekend. Richard Fitts, who has been a starter all season will make his way back up to the big leagues and pitch out of the bullpen. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)But the bullpen isn’t the only issue right now. Of the 101 pitchers who have thrown at least 100 innings in 2025, Walker Buehler’s 5.40 ERA is the eighth-worst mark in all of baseball. Nonetheless, Walker Buehler ranks second on the Red Sox in games started. This is…

FOXBORO — A day after Eliot Wolf made waves saying the Patriots would be open to potential blockbuster trades, his ranking No. 2 echoed a lesser publicized part of his comments Tuesday. Speaking with reporters before practice, Patriots vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden reiterated trades are harder to make than most outsiders think. “I think Eliot (Wolf) put it in a good (way) yesterday,” Cowden said. Tthere’s so many layers and complications and little nuances about every deal. Whether that’s a little deal, whether that’s a big deal or it’s a backup player or maybe an elite player.…
FOXBORO — Patriots outside linebackers coach Mike Smith has worked with several Pro Bowl pass rushers over his 15-year coaching career, yet sees something new in one of his youngest players. Undrafted rookie Elijah Ponder is “probably one of the best (undrafted) free agent pickups” Smith said he’s ever seen, noting Tuesday the Cal Poly alum at times looks like a seasoned vet. “He was a guy that nobody was looking at, but if you look at his athletic ability, it’s off the charts,” Smith told reporters Tuesday. “He’s a big rusher. He moves great in space. He’s not scared…
New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker looks like he could get another crack at proving he should stay past cutdown day. The second-year receiver has had a decent camp, though that hasn’t necessarily translated to games. He’s taken reps on special teams, as well, and is clearly trying to atone for an underwhelming rookie campaign. There was optimism that Baker would out-perform his fourth-round selection, but he offered few meaningful contributions in Year 1. He had one reception for 12 yards with just four targets in 11 games as a rookie. Now, he’s in a battle with the likes…

Patriots safety Kyle Dugger and outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings are known to be available for trade with less than a week left until the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline, according to league sources. The Patriots recently raised Dugger’s name in talks with at least one team, while the front office has long been willing to take offers on him and Jennings, sources said. The writing seems to be on the wall for Dugger, who played through the end of last Saturday’s preseason game in Minnesota and practiced with the scout-team defense this week. The 29-year-old safety appears to have lost a…
Since its founding in 1994 the Oldtime Baseball Game has become an integral part of the city’s baseball community, and in recent years the game has partnered with The Boston Home, a non-profit residence and resource for adults with advanced neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. This year, the game’s guest of honor is a longtime Red Sox executive who knows from experience just how challenging the disease is. Gus Quattlebaum, who serves as Red Sox vice president of scouting, development and integration, will throw out the first pitch at this year’s Oldtime game, which will be held tonight at…
The Boston Red Sox were stranding runners left and right on Tuesday, but in a potential scoring opportunity late in the loss, they opted not to gamble. The Red Sox lost 4-3 to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday in a fascinating, 11-inning game. Boston trailed 3-1 before a Nathaniel Lowe two-run blast tied the game. The Red Sox largely went in control from there offensively, but despite constant traffic on the bases they could never get a go-ahead run across. Down one run in the 11th, the Red Sox had speedster Nick Eaton on third with one out. Roman Anthony…
Julian Edelman believes the New England Patriots could’ve landed the steal of the 2025 NFL Draft. Appearing on the Patriots Talk podcast with Tom E. Curran, the legendary receiver shared his biggest takeaway after he attended training camp earlier this summer. Edelman praised second-round running back TreVeyon Henderson, who flashed his explosiveness and scored twice with the soon-to-be Patriots Hall of Famer in attendance. “TreVeyon Henderson is probably the steal of the draft,” Edelman told Curran on Tuesday. “I think that’s the kind of guy you needed to draft that becomes part of that nucleus with Drake (Maye). That’s how…
FOXBORO – Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams is not ready to reveal the specifics of a health issue that sidelined him during the offseason workout program, but the 51-year-old coach is feeling “great” four weeks into training camp. Williams stayed home in Detroit after having a medical issue during rookie minicamp, organized team activities and minicamp. “Oh yeah, I’m ready to go. That’s why I’m here,” Williams said. “Camp’s been good. I feel great. The guys are practicing hard. So it’s been a good camp so far.” Williams called his health issue over the spring “irrelevant” because he’s not dealing…
