Getting Masataka Yoshida and Alex Bregman back in the Red Sox lineup could take a scorching offense to another level, especially when it comes to hitting fastballs. “We’re gonna get better,” manager Alex Cora noted Monday. “Masa, he catches up with it. Alex, he catches up with it. This is a different group than three weeks ago.” But even now, the lineup is doing better in that regard, their manager noted Monday. “We’re not striking out, right? So I think that’s the telling story,” he said. “We’re putting the ball in play. We still have some holes, like everybody else,…

While a buyout of Bradley Beal is a bit complex, the likelihood remains the three-time NBA All-Star won’t play for the Phoenix Suns next season. And that’s prompted Beal to think about his next landing spot. “According to a league source, the list of teams Beal has thought about includes the LA Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks,” The Athletic’s Fred Katz wrote Monday. One team not included in that foursome? The Boston Celtics. The Celtics were thought to be in play given Beal’s close friendship with fellow St. Louis native Jayson Tatum. However, Tatum will…
Alex Bregman shared good and not-so-good news after the Red Sox defeated the visiting Colorado Rockies 9-3 on Monday night. “Everything’s going good,” he said as he stood in the clubhouse at Fenway. “Last week I touched high velocity three days in a row. Running-wise got a lot of volume in, so trending towards a return here really quickly. Whether it’s end of this week or first game after the break, one of those two, but hoping it’ll be the end of this week… I think we still have to have another discussion tomorrow, but I feel like I can…
It has been a while since the Boston Celtics entered a season as an underdog in the Eastern Conference, but that’s exactly what they are heading into the 2025-26 campaign. The Celtics parted ways with multiple key players from their 2024 NBA championship core this offseason to shed salary and get under the second apron of the luxury tax. Jrue Holiday (trade), Kristaps Porzingis (trade), and Luke Kornet (free agency) will don new uniforms next season, and Al Horford is likely to either follow suit or retire. In addition, the Celtics will be without their superstar Jayson Tatum while he…

Alex Bregman was selected to play in the All-Star game, and is trying to get back on the field before then. Bregman has been out since May 23 with a quad injury and is approaching a return to action. After the Boston Red Sox beat the Colorado Rockies 9-3 on Monday, Bregman spoke to the media about a return date. “Whether it’s the end of this week or the first game after the break, one of those two, but I’m hoping it will be the end of this week,” Bregman said, as seen on the NESN postgame show.

The Boston Red Sox will hope to take full advantage of another vulnerable National League opponent. Boston improved to 46-45 after sweeping a three-game series against the Washington Nationals, who remain last in the NL East at 37-53. The Red Sox can stay hot when they host the Colorado Rockies, who enter Fenway Park with an MLB-worst 21-69 record and minus-229 run differential. Asked before Monday’s game about handling business at Washington, per WEEI’s Tom Carroll, Alex Cora cautioned against sleeping on any big-league team. The Red Sox manager noted that the Nationals had just won two of three games…
