The Boston Red Sox may soon get Masataka Yoshida back in the lineup. Yoshida has yet to play this season as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. The 31-year-old is approaching a significant step back to Boston. Red Sox manager Alex Cora disclosed before Friday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays that Yoshida could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. Per The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey, Yoshida said he hopes to return by the All-Star break. Per NESN’s broadcast, Yoshida explained that he underwent surgery so he could play the outfield after exclusively working as a designated hitter…

Can the Red Sox avenge a poor showing so far against the Jays this season (winning just two games out of seven so far)? Maybe, but our offense is sure going to need to come alive for that to happen. Because it’s dead. Stone-cold, dead-and-gone, in-the-ground dead. Anybody ever had a Corpse Reviver cocktail? It was invented in the Victorian era, allegedly as a means of bringing a hangover-sufferer back to life. Now I see that Corpse Reviver is also the name of a brand of health beverage involving ingredients like berries and hibiscus. Frankly, I don’t care what they…
After the longest road trip of the season, the Red Sox are back at Fenway Park on Friday to host the Toronto Blue Jays for three games. It’s Boston’s first home stand without Rafael Devers, but they’ll be without Marcelo Mayer, too. The Red Sox placed the rookie infielder on the bereavement list Friday afternoon. Nick Sogard has been recalled from Triple-A and will start at third base and bat ninth. The Red Sox returned home on a five-game losing streak after winning eight of their previous nine games. Now more than halfway through the schedule, they’re 40-42 and in…

The Red Sox have an uphill mountain to climb in the American League East. In fourth place, they’re only ahead of the Baltimore Orioles near the 2025 season’s midway point. Two years removed from a 101-win campaign, the Orioles have endured a disappointing 34-46 start. Barring a quick recovery, the Orioles seem poised to treat the trade deadline as sellers and regroup for 2026. That could mean shopping Cedric Mullins, Ryan O’Hearn, Ramon Laureano, Zach Eflin and Felix Bautista. They have another veteran salvaging some trade value after a brutal start, as The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal called Charlie Morton a…

After moving down the draft board Thursday night, the Celtics made a pick aimed at bolstering their frontcourt depth. Boston selected Kentucky big man Amari Williams with the 46th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Williams was born and raised in England, then played four seasons at Drexel before transferring to Kentucky last summer. He’s a strong, big-bodied 7-footer with a 7-foot-6 wingspan who is considered a very good passer for his size. Williams also was an effective shot-blocker and rebounder in college — averaging 1.6 and 7.4 per game, respectively, in his career — and was a three-time…
The 2025 NBA Draft wound up being a very international affair for the Celtics. After selecting Spanish wing Hugo Gonzalez at No. 28 overall and British big man Amari Williams at No. 46, Boston rounded out its draft class by taking Ukrainian guard Max Shulga with the 57th pick. Shulga played five seasons of college basketball in the U.S., first at Utah State — where he overlapped with current Celtics center Neemias Queta — and then at VCU. His best trait: perimeter shooting. The 23-year-old attempted 5.5 3-pointers per game over his two seasons at VCU and made 40.2% of…
The Boston Celtics selected guard Max Shulga with the No. 57 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. (The Orlando Magic technically made the pick, but you know how these things go. Shulga is headed to Boston.) Shulga, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Kyiv, Ukraine, is a terrific shooter off the catch, which should help him fit the playing style in Boston. The Celtics are expected to sign him to a two-way contract, giving him time to develop at a new level and potentially earn himself a full-time deal. “Shulga shot 39% from three-point range across his five seasons in college,”…
After trading down from No. 32 overall, the Boston Celtics used the No. 57 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to select VCU guard Max Shulga. Shulga played the last two seasons with the Rams after spending his first three collegiate seasons at Utah State. He averaged 15.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.0 assists while shooting 38.7 percent from 3-point range last season. Shulga’s 3-point prowess fits the Celtics mold, but he’s also a smart, decisive passer. The 23-year-old guard’s balanced skill set helped him earn First-Team All-Atlantic 10 nods twice at VCU. The C’s focused on international talent with…
