FOXBORO — When Drake Maye let his first two passes sail high in the Patriots’ second preseason game over the weekend, he explained after that he might’ve been a little too juiced up to play in a game-like environment. But he said he doesn’t plan on trying to tone down the emotions he feels early on in contests. That’s simply part of his game-day approach. “Yeah, I don’t think you want to dial it down,” Maye said. “We’re out there, they’re keeping score. We’re trying to win. I missed Pop [DeMario Douglas] high. Same thing. He’s wide open sitting in…

The Baltimore Orioles may be the second of eight sub-.500 teams the Red Sox are set to face in their next 11 series, but they had the upper hand all Monday night. Despite a strong six-inning performance from Dustin May, the Red Sox, who had to contend with Trevor Rogers for the first seven innings, looked outmatched from the word ‘go’ and fell to their American League East rivals 6-3. When the Red Sox acquired May from the Los Angeles Dodgers at last month’s trade deadline, he spoke about wanting to limit “blow-up” innings. Despite a Baltimore lineup determined to…
Nathaniel Lowe officially became a member of the Red Sox Monday, but his debut will have to wait another day. With left-hander Trevor Rogers on the mound for the visiting Baltimore Orioles, Lowe isn’t in the Red Sox starting lineup for the series opener. Nor is Roman Anthony batting leadoff. Instead, Nate Eaton, recalled Monday from Triple-A, will serve as both leadoff and designated hitter. Anthony will bat second, Alex Bregman third.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye might have discovered his kryptonite in the form of a linebacker. It’s a good thing that this linebacker also plays for the Patriots. Per ESPN’s Mike Reiss, Maye was intercepted twice during Monday’s practice by Patriots defensive menace Robert Spillane. “The first (interception) came in 7-on-7 red-zone drills when he had tight coverage on tight end Hunter Henry in the right-hand corner of the end zone,” Reiss wrote. “Maye decided to test the matchup regardless, and perhaps not getting as much arc on the ball as he desired, it allowed the 6-foot-1, 229-pound Spillane to turn…
The Red Sox begin a weird, rare, two-game series with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. Before the game, they made several roster moves.Nathaniel Lowe is the most notable of the bunch, though Rob Refsnyder’s hitting the IL with an injury is significant given the Orioles’ starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, tonight. Rogers is left-handed and has been excellent this season. He uses a high fastball and low offspeed pitches. It’s not overpowering, but he’s executed consistently and is a difficult at-bat.The Red Sox will throw Dustin May for the third time this season, coming off an excellent outing against the Astros.7:10…
Wilyer Abreu was removed from Sunday’s game after pulling up with a tight calf while scoring on a sacrifice fly, and after the game the Red Sox expressed hope the outfielder could avoid a stint on the injured list. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Abreu is feeling better, but that he’s still not out of the woods. “Willy’s sore, tight, we’ll take it day by day, a lot of improvement from last night, so we feel positive on that one,” Cora said. “We’ll see what happens, it doesn’t mean it won’t go on the IL, but we’ll…

He said he has a tear that hadn’t improved with the anti-inflammatory injection.“I knew definitely that it was going to be on the table,” he said, sitting in the Red Sox dugout at Fenway Park before they faced Miami in the series finale.“As an athlete and somebody that loves this game so much, all I want to do is…

The Boston Red Sox are coming down the homestretch of the 2025 campaign, and it’s clear that their main goal right now is to find their way into the playoffs. And yet, you can’t help but feel like Alex Bregman’s contract situation is continuing to linger over the team. Bregman signed a three-year, $120 million contract with the Red Sox in free agency over the offseason, but he has a player option in his deal that allows him to opt out and test the open market again next offseason should he want to. Considering how Bregman is putting together an…
FOXBORO — The Patriots are placing defensive tackle Isaiah Iton on injured reserve, executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf announced Monday morning. Iton, a training camp standout and depth chart riser, injured his hip in Saturday’s preseason win over the Vikings. The Patriots signed wide receiver Phil Lutz to fill his spot on the 90-man roster. Lutz played collegiately at Delaware and Tufts and participated in Patriots rookie minicamp. Additionally, head coach Mike Vrabel announced Monday that cornerback Christian Gonzalez and wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will not practice this week or play in Thursday’s preseason game against the…
