The Red Sox arrived in Atlanta on their first five-game losing streak of the season, fresh off getting swept in Milwaukee, where the Brewers had walked them off in each of the last two games. On Friday night, Boston bounced back with a 5-1 come-from-behind win and one of their most complete, high-caliber performances in weeks. The outlook wasn’t bright early on. This beleaguered Boston ballclub ran the whole gamut of their issues in the opening frame, wasting a pair of base runners – Rafael Devers singled and Wilyer Abreu walked – in the top of the first, and gifting…

The pieces are starting to fall for the Red Sox, even if Boston is still trying to put the puzzle together across the infield. With Alex Bregman and Triston Casas sidelined with injuries, the Red Sox have been forced to make changes at third and first base. The changes apparently will not include Rafael Devers, who has not taken reps at either corner since the injuries. “Conversations are ongoing,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told reporters in Atlanta, per MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam. “It’s best to keep them internal. But obviously, there’s nothing to show right…

In all likelihood, this Celtics offseason will be defined by Boston offloading pieces from its championship core in pursuit of luxury tax relief, not making big-ticket additions to its roster. But a report this week from one prominent NBA insider listed the Celtics as a potential suitor for this summer’s premier trade target: two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. With Antetokounmpo potentially on his way out of Milwaukee after the Bucks’ third consecutive first-round playoff exit, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said the 30-year-old superstar should be angling for a trade to another team in the Eastern Conference, which projects to be substantially…
Ahead of Friday’s series opener in Atlanta, the Red Sox officially placed veteran reliever Liam Hendriks on the 15-day injured list and recalled fellow right-hander Nick Burdi from Triple-A. The club announced right hip inflammation for Hendriks, whose IL stint is retroactive to May 28. MassLive previously reported that the veteran righty has been dealing with multiple hernias dating back to early in the month. The Red Sox signed Hendriks to a two-year, $10 million incentive-laden deal (with a mutual option for 2026) during spring training last year, while he was rehabbing after Tommy John surgery in August ’23. After…
The Boston Red Sox continue a six-game road trip Friday night when they open up a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Atlanta took two out of three games for a series win at Fenway Park two weeks ago. The Red Sox will not see old friend Chris Sale on the mound as they hope to return the favor against the Braves. Boston also hopes to snap a five-game losing streak in the series opener. Lucas Giolito takes the ball for the Red Sox with Carlos Narvaez behind the plate, batting in the cleanup spot. Abraham Toro…
Jordan Walsh was the youngest member of the Boston Celtics each of the last two years. Even though he showed signs of improvement this past season, we’re still waiting for the 2023 second-round pick to have that breakout moment. Jayson Tatum’s injury and any offseason roster changes that are made could give Walsh more of an opportunity with the Celtics in the fall, but it will be up to him to seize it. As we continue our “Celtics Player Spotlight” series, let’s recap Walsh’s 2024-25 season and analyze how he fits into Boston’s lineup for 2025-26: 2024-25 Season Recap After playing…
For those Bruins’ fans living vicariously through unfamiliar laundry, the Stanley Cup Final comes down to Brad Marchand versus Trent Frederic. But there is no shortage of storylines in this rematch of last season’s SCF between the Edmonton Oilers and defending champion Florida Panthers, both of whom rampaged through their respective conference finals in five-game gentleman sweeps. The most intriguing one is whether the sublime Connor McDavid and fellow perennial Hart Trophy candidate Leon Draisaitl can fight through the big, bad Panthers and become the first Canadian-based team to secure the Cup since Patrick Roy and Montreal Canadiens did it in…
HOUSTON (AP) — Soon after Lance McCullers Jr.’s family received online death threats following a tough start by the Houston Astros’ pitcher, his 5-year-old daughter, Ava, overheard wife Kara talking on the phone about it.What followed was a painful conversation between McCullers and his little girl.“She asked me when I came home: ‘Daddy like what is threats? Who wants to hurt us? Who wants to hurt me?’” McCullers told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “So, those conversations are tough to deal with.”McCullers is one of two MLB pitchers whose families have received online death threats this month as internet abuse…
