In the 18th round of the 2017 MLB draft the New York Yankees drafted a pitcher out of the University of Alabama named Garret Whitlock. He would almost immediately make his professional debut with the Gulf Coast League Yankees. In 2018, Whitlock would appear in three levels for New York: A, A+, and AA. Overall he’d post a 1.86 ERA across the three levels while making 21 starts. 2019 would start well as he remained in AA: a 3.07 ERA across 14 starts for 70.1 innings. But things wouldn’t stay golden for Whitlock. He would succumb to Tommy John surgery…

FORT MYERS, Fla. – It had been 602 days since Patrick Sandoval faced hitters. The left-hander ended that streak of frustration Friday when he took the mound at JetBlue Park and threw his first live batting practice since Tommy John surgery. “It’s been forever,” he said. The Red Sox signed the southpaw, now 29, to a backloaded two-year, $18.25 million contract fourteen months ago with the expectation that he would miss at least a significant portion of the first year. Sandoval thought he’d be able to contribute in the second half of ‘25, and got “pretty close” to being ready…
DEDHAM, MASS. (WHDH) – Patriots star wide receiver Stefon Diggs appeared in court Friday to be arraigned on two criminal charges, including strangulation, stemming from an incident involving one of his former employees. Diggs is accused of attacking his live-in personal chef during a dispute over her pay at his Dedham home in December 2025. He is charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. During the hearing, which lasted just over one minute, a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf.According to court paperwork, the private chef told police that Diggs became aggressive during a…
Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman will be Team USA’s starting goalie on Saturday. Team USA is set to take on Denmark on Saturday at 3:10 p.m. ET in their second game of the tournament. The United States beat Latvia 5-1 in their opener on Thursday, and now the team will make one lineup change. The lone lineup change Team USA will make is Swayman starting, while Connor Hellebuyck will be his backup, according to ESPN’s Emily Kaplan. “Looks like no changes for skaters ahead of U.S. men’s game against Denmark today,” Kaplan wrote on X. “However Jeremy Swayman gets the…

Shrewsbury girls hockey head coach Frank Panarelli was ecstatic when his program switched leagues to join the vaunted MVC/DCL Large in 2021, knowing how important the challenge was on its way to eventually winning its first Div. 1 state title a couple years later. It’s a similar excitement that Paul Hardy felt when Lincoln-Sudbury moved up from the Small division to join the loaded pack in 2023. That goes for Tommy McGrath, too, when Boston Latin made the same jump last year. It’s no secret how cutthroat the league is; it’s talked about far too much for it to be.…
The New England Patriots are heading into the offseason with their heads held high. Even though they did not come out on top in Super Bowl LX, there are a lot of reasons for optimism surrounding the team as they begin to prepare for the 2026 campaign. One of those reasons was the play of rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams. A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Williams didn’t play a ton, but when he did find his way onto the field, he frequently found a way to flash his big-play abilities (10 REC, 209 YDS, 3 TD). While…
This is great news for Red Sox fans! Not just because it’s a chance to watch one of the team’s blossoming stars take the field on a national global stage, but also because it gives Anthony experience in this type of game. One of the sneaky worst things about the oblique injury ending his 2025 season early is that it didn’t just take him out of their postseason run run last fall – It also robbed him of some valuable postseason experience, which he could have used to take into future Octobers.He even may have indirectly touched on this point…
BOSTON – Brookline is peaking at the right time. In front of a raucous Boston Latin home crowd, Brookline produced a one-sided 54-27 girls basketball road victory. The Warriors led from start to finish, delivering a balanced scoring attack that included nine different players. “Going into this season, we knew we had offense – but our coaches really emphasized defense,” said Brookline senior Nefeli Aga-Kitch (16 points, 10 rebounds, 4 steals), whose grit and tenacity was a trademark of Brookline’s success. “We’ve really worked on the little things in practice. Producing that on the court has been special.” After a…
