The Red Sox demolished the Orioles in a 19-5 win in Game 1 of a doubleheader but lost their top player, third baseman Alex Bregman, to right quad tightness. Bregman suffered the injury rounding first base after singling to left field in the bottom of the fifth inning. Bregman returned to first and motioned that he needed to come out of the game. “Just tight. We’ll see how he comes in tomorrow, so he won’t play in the second one,” manager Alex Cora said. “He’ll get treatment. We’ll know more tomorrow.” Cora said Bregman didn’t want to push the injury…

There are a handful of players the Red Sox cannot afford to be without, and Friday afternoon the club may have lost the most indispensable of all. Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman left Friday’s game with an apparent injury during the bottom of the fifth inning. The injury occurred after Bregman hit a hard line drive to left field for a base hit, and after rounding first he hesitated a moment before opting not to try and stretch the single into a double, but in the process it appeared that he tweaked something and immediately signaled for the trainer.…
Tom Brady might not be done playing football after all. The future Pro Football Hall of Famer has already unretired once, and he’s apparently contemplating doing it again. Sort of. The Daily Mail (via a Barstool Sports post) reported Thursday that the 47-year-old legend might be looking to get in on the flag football fun when the Summer Olympics come to America in 2028. According to the report, which cited an “insider,” Brady apparently wants to add a gold medal to his trophy case, and he apparently knows “he would be able to help and excel in that environment and…
The Boston Celtics boasted one of the NBA’s best defenses this season, allowing just 107.2 points per game (second in the league) and posting a 110.1 defensive rating (fourth in the league). But when the NBA unveiled its 2024-25 All-Defensive Teams on Thursday, the C’s were nowhere to be found. Below is a look at the First and Second Teams; Derrick White was the only Boston player who received votes with 15 total points (two First-Team votes and 11 Second-Team Votes). A global media panel of 100 voters selected the 2024-25 Kia NBA All-Defensive Team.Voters selected five players for the…
Coming off his worst outing of the season, Brayan Bello will look to bounce back in Friday’s series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. Bello (2-1, 4.02) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and five walks last time out against the Atlanta Braves, and he will go up against Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (1-3, 5.23). Boston will load up with right-handed hitters against the southpaw, with seven righties total including Rob Refsnyder batting cleanup and the switch-hitting Nick Sogard playing first base. The Orioles have been among the most disappointing teams in baseball this season and enter Friday last in the…

It’s going to be another lengthy day at Fenway Park on Friday as the Red Sox open a key four-game series with the Orioles. Baltimore has been one of the sport’s biggest disappointments in 2025, and at 16-32, their season might already be over. Boston, meanwhile, has struggled to break through the .500 mark, but the woeful Orioles present an opportunity for Alex Cora’s club to build some momentum. After a washout Thursday night, a doubleheader from Jersey Street is on tap. Right-hander Brayan Bello will take the ball in Game 1 for the Red Sox. Bello has been an…
Strikeouts became Boston’s kryptonite in a game that presented the Red Sox with an opportunity for a sweep. That may have been the theme throughout Wednesday night on the farm, as the affiliates took away some wins but overall performed ho-hum, even in two double-headers. Let’s get into it! Worcester: L, 4-7 (F/10) (BOX SCORE) Password had his second two-hit game in as many days out in Durham (Rays AAA), and this one also included an extra-base hit. Trayce Thompson homered to put this game in Worcester’s favor, 4-3, but Luis Guerrero blew his second save in about ten days…
Continuity was the theme of last year’s Celtics offseason. This summer likely will be defined by necessary change. A breakup of Boston’s championship-winning core appears inevitable as the Celtics stare down a 2025-26 roster that’s projected to cost roughly $500 million between salaries and luxury tax penalties. To dip beneath the NBA’s second apron and avoid the raft of roster-building restrictions that come with that status – including the inability to use the mid-level exception, aggregate salaries in trades or trade first-round picks in the next seven drafts, among others – the Celtics would need to shed $20 million in…
