When the Boston Red Sox traded for Carlos Narvaez, his defense was the selling point. Connor Wong was grandfathered in as the starter, but the team sent Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz to the New York Yankees to acquire Narvaez as a backup. Narvaez started slow offensively, but by the middle of May, was hitting .271 with four home runs and 14 runs batted in. When Connor Wong went down with an injury, Narvaez took over as the starter and has yet to lose his grasp on the role. During the Red Sox’s 10-2 win over the Colorado Rockies, Narvaez hit a solo…

The competition – and stakes – will ratchet up for the Red Sox with their four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays starting on Thursday, but the Sox at least took care of their business over the last week. On Wednesday, the Sox completed the three-game sweep of baseball’s worst team, the Colorado Rockies, who have win just 21 times in 93 tries, with a 10-2 victory at Fenway Park, getting pitching, hitting (15 knocks) and defense in the process. This sweep comes on the heels of their three-game sweep of the National League’s second-worst team, the Washington Nationals. They…

Alex Bregman is returning to the Red Sox roster before the All-Star break after all. Boston’s star third baseman is expected to be activated from the injured list during this weekend’s four-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Herald confirmed. On Wednesday, manager Alex Cora described the impending roster move as “likely,” explaining the Red Sox feel comfortable with their star returning to the lineup without a rehab assignment. Since Bregman opted to forgo his third career All-Star Game, he can test the waters during the Rays series, then use next week’s break to continue his workouts, build additional…
Masataka Yoshida is back in Boston. The Red Sox on Wednesday reinstated Yoshida from the 60-day injured list, an anticipated move given recent comments from manager Alex Cora. Yoshida hasn’t played for Boston this season due to a shoulder injury, but played five games during rehab assignments in Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. Yoshida is expected to be in the lineup against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night. The Red Sox optioned utility man Nate Eaton to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, as first reported by MassLive’s Chris Cotillo on Tuesday night. Boston also transferred right-handed pitcher Nick Burdi…
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes used to be fierce competitors on the football field. They played against each other six times, including a matchup in Super Bowl LV where Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs. It was Brady’s seventh Super Bowl title, further enhancing his status as the best quarterback in NFL history. The only player with a chance to catch Brady in the legacy conversation is Mahomes, who, at 29 years old, already has three Super Bowl championships and two league MVPs. There’s certainly a lot of respect between Brady and Mahomes. And the Chiefs quarterback…
Red Sox manager Alex Cora had no plans to pull Brayan Bello during his complete game against the Colorado Rockies, but Jarren Duran was going to make sure of it. After seeing Kristian Campbell get up, Duran thought Cora was going to the mound to pull Bello before he could finish the game. “I saw Campbell get up and I was thinking in my head, ‘A.C., if you pull Bello right now I’m gonna have a word with you after the game,’” Duran joked to reporters, according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo. “I would have to try and stop Bello because…
You wouldn’t know it by the final score, but this was actually a pitcher’s duel into the bottom of the sixth inning. The first run wasn’t scored until this lazy fly ball off the bat of Trevor Story found a home in shallow right field and opened the flood gates for the Boston bats: But I’m getting ahead of myself, because the most impressive thing about this game was Brayan Bello’s performance on the mound, and the half dozen zeros he put on the board before the Boston bats woke up in the home half of the sixth. He went…
Fresh off his long-awaited first big-league win, righty starter Richard Fitts was optioned to Triple-A in a Tuesday afternoon pitching shakeup. In exchange, the Red Sox called up reliever Isaiah Campbell. It’s a strategic move, as the club plans to activate rookie Hunter Dobbins later this week. With Dobbins likely taking Fitts’ spot in the rotation, but the next turn not until Saturday, this roster move creates a path for the Red Sox to add a fresh arm to the bullpen in the meantime. “For now, this makes sense,” said manager Alex Cora. “(Bullpen) usage the last few days, certain…
