While all eyes are on Jayson Tatum’s recovery from a ruptured Achilles, his fellow Boston Celtics star is dealing with an injury worth watching this offseason as well. Jaylen Brown played through a partially torn meniscus in his right knee for a good chunk of the season and into the playoffs. It’s an issue Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Brown dealt with “for a while.” Now the question becomes will Brown need surgery to repair his knee or will rest in the offseason be enough? Brown recently said he’s still weighing his options. “l got a lot…

Marcelo Mayer has had quite the 48 hours. It all started Saturday afternoon, when the Boston Red Sox promoted the talented infield prospect from Triple-A Worcester to the big leagues. Both Worcester and Boston were playing doubleheaders that day, and between games, WooSox manager Chad Tracy called Mayer into his office to deliver the good news. “(Tracy) said something along the lines of, ‘You’re not playing. You’ll play the second game, but not here. You’ll be playing in Fenway,’” Mayer told reporters of the moment, via The Boston Globe. “I just got the craziest rush through my whole body.” Mayer…
Even after waiting and working toward this moment for most of his life, Marcelo Mayer never thought the call would play out the way it did. First, Triple-A manager Chad Tracy told him he wasn’t going to play the first game of the WooSox’s doubleheader. The Red Sox might need him, because Alex Bregman, who’d taken Mayer and the other top prospects under his wing during spring training, had a quad strain. Then, while the big-league club was playing Game 1 of their own doubleheader 45 minutes down the Mass Pike (without traffic, of course), Tracy called Mayer back into…
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox are getting ready to be without one of their most productive hitters for an extended period of time.Third baseman Alex Bregman will be out with what manager Alex Cora called a “significant” right quad strain. The big free agent addition for the Red Sox left their game Friday with tightness in the quad.Turns out it’s a similar injury to his left quad strain in 2021, one that cost him 58 games.“Very similar to ’21,” Cora said after the Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 in 10 innings on Saturday.Bregman agreed.“Yeah, pretty severe right quad strain,” he…
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel constructed his coaching staff much differently than how Jerod Mayo did a year a go. Vrabel sought out coaches with plenty of experience while Mayo’s staff was filled with some coaches taking on roles for the first time. Four coaches on Vrabel’s staff have had head coaching experience in the NFL. That group includes Thomas Brown along with Josh McDaniels, Doug Marrone and senior defensive assistant Ben McAdoo. McDaniels will reprise his role as Patriots offensive coordinator and Marrone will coach the offensive line while McAdoo returns for a second season in New…
A meme like that Paul Rudd “look at us. Who would’ve thought? Not me.” except it’s just Roman Anthony, the number one prospect in baseball, talking to himself down in Worcester. It is curious, indeed, that Anthony remains in Triple-A following the promotion of his counterpart, Marcelo Mayer, and the great performance of his other minor league running mate, Kristian Campbell, but it’s a matter of time. In the mean time, he followed up the absolute missile with an exit velocity of 116 miles an hour he hit on Saturday with another two-hit day yesterday. Let’s get into it! Worcester:…
Entering the season it looked like catcher was one of the Red Sox’s biggest areas of weakness. Connor Wong was the organization’s only established big league backstop, and with top prospect Kyle Teel gone as part of the Garrett Crochet blockbuster there didn’t seem to be much depth available behind him. As luck would have it, the Red Sox wound up finding a diamond in the rough mere hours after dealing Teel away. Carlos Narvaez was hardly Boston’s most heralded offseason acquisition, but the rookie catcher has been a revelation in his first full season as a big leaguer. Originally…
By JENNA FRYER INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Alex Palou took the ceremonial swig of milk in victory lane at the Indianapolis 500. He allowed his wife to have a sip, she in turn gave a sip to their baby, and team owner Chip Ganassi ended up with the bottle and took a drink, as well. “I have to tell you, it was the best milk I ever had,” Palou said. The first Spaniard to win “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” then took a victory lap with his entourage around Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the back of a pickup truck. At one…
Sport has a remarkable ability to break down barriers worldwide, which is particularly evident in the stories of trailblazing Arabian women who have risen to the top of their fields.

The 29-year-old has ascended to global icon status through her…
Trevor Story has been stuck in a rut for weeks now, and Sunday the struggling veteran will get a chance to take a step back and reset. Story is not in the lineup for the Red Sox’s series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. The shortstop is currently batting .227 with a .607 OPS on the season, and since April 22 he’s 14 for 111 (.126) with two extra-base hits and 39 strikeouts in 28 games. David Hamilton will start at shortstop in his place as Boston aims to take three out of four from Baltimore. Top prospect Marcelo Mayer, who…
