Former major leaguer, who is unvaccinated, would not have been allowed on the field during upcoming playoffs under new MLB rules.
The Boston Red Sox will enter Wednesday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles looking to snap a four-game losing streak. It’s not an ideal position, especially after the Red Sox were swept by the New York Yankees to conclude their final homestand of the season — a trio of games that ended up giving the Yankees the lead over the Red Sox for the American League’s first Wild Card spot.
Shopify has recorded more than $1 billion in quarterly sales for the first time. But is the stock a buy right now?
Whitlock was seen throwing in the field at Camden Yards ahead of the opener Tuesday, but in his pregame media availability, manager Alex Cora pumped the breaks on Whitlock’s return. He’s doing better — I think 60 throws if I’m not mistaken, that’s what Brad (Pearson) said,” Cora told reporters of Whitlock. He felt good.
After all, he’s made a team-high 66 appearance out of the Boston Red Sox bullpen this season. The right-hander wasn’t sharp in the eighth inning on Sunday, failing to record an out, handing the New York Yankees a 6-3 win at Fenway Park. Ottavino gave up a go-ahead double to Aaron Judge and a two-run home run to Giancarlo Stanton, then plunked Joey Gallo before getting the hook.
What happens if two or more teams are tied for a spot in the 2021 postseason? Here are scenarios for tiebreakers at the end of the regular season.
BOSTON — It was not always easy for Giancarlo Stanton. With his larger-than-life stature and his MVP pedigree came huge expectations. Perhaps they were unreasonable at the time. Stanton, who was booed in his first game at Yankee Stadium, has now reached the potential fans hoped for and have written his name in some pretty special company. As the Yankees were battling the Red Sox for the top ...
Tristan H. Cockcroft It's time! Just seven wild days to a championship lie ahead, and fantasy baseball roster maneuvering is now 100% about maximizing your team's opportunities in the time left. Consider today's recommended pickups an effective Forecaster extension, highlighting players you should add and start as you try to make that final push in the standings.
Also on Sunday, the Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Red Sox with a 6-3 win at Fenway Park. Boston still currently holds the second American League wild card spot, leading Toronto by a game. On Saturday, Boston College defeated Missouri in overtime, 41-34.
Building a ballpark in the middle of the COVID-19 global pandemic had its challenges, and construction continued during the season, but Lucchino is pleased with the relationship the organization has forged with the city of Worcester since the first meeting Dec. 19, 2015. It’s one of mutual respect,” Lucchino said of the team’s relationship with the city. We couldn’t have a better landlord-tenant relationship than we have.
Nathan Eovaldi recently sat down with NESN’s Tom Caron. The Boston Red Sox pitcher joined Caron on NESN’s “TC & Company” podcast this past week to discuss everything from his path to the Red Sox, to how the 2021 Major League Baseball season has gone. To hear their conversation, check out the video above from the “Ultimate Red Sox Show,” presented by Awaken180 Weightloss.
Tomase: Nightmare scenario unfolding for Sox against Yankees after Stanton slam originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston The Red Sox had one job this weekend: Don't get swept. After Saturday night's Giancarlo Stanton haymaker to the temple, their task becomes all the more urgent: DON'T GET BLEEPING SWEPT. And so it comes down to this.
Rafael Devers is in rare company. The Boston Red Sox third baseman crushed his 35th home run of the 2021 Major League Baseball on Friday night becoming just the third player in team history to reach the mark at 25-years-old or younger. Devers joins Hall-of-Famers Ted Williams (1941) and Jim Rice (1977) in the exclusive club.
Kevin Plawecki nearly had a week off between appearances for the Red Sox, but he shook off the rust right away when he returned to the field in Boston on Saturday Plawecki, hitting eighth and catching for Nick Pivetta against the New York Yankees in the second of a three-game series, used a solo home run to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead in the third inning.
Boston Red Sox right fielder Hunter Renfroe stole a home run from the New York Yankees' Rougned Odor during Saturday's game.
Néstor Cortes Jr. will be the man looking to continue the good times today, and he’s been a big part of getting the team back on track in the first place. His ascension to the starting rotation has been a major boost for a staff that has struggled to get consistent starts from anyone not named Gerrit Cole or Jordan Montgomery. His last outing on September 20th against Texas displayed more of his unique way of striking out batters, but he didn’t manage to make it through five innings in a start f...
As of now we’re not leaving anyone behind. But I mean there is a little bit of concern because there’s obviously more things you gotta do, more boxes to check, more hoops you have to jump through, to make sure we’re good to go up there,” Boone said. So we’re trying to get that laid out as best we can.
Matt Barnes has physically returned from the COVID-19 related injured list after testing positive for the virus, a blow that came amid an uncharacteristic stretch of tough outings for the Red Sox closer. But with two appearances under his belt since returning to Boston, it seems the 31-year-old is still a ways away from the early-season form that earned him his first All-Star nod. Barnes returned on Sept.
My daughter wasn’t one of them, but I didn’t sleep for the next three nights. In some ways, this spring and summer have been the hardest months of the pandemic for us. Like other parents of young kids, my wife and I were vaccinated the first chance we got.
The Boston Red Sox look to extend their seven-game win streak in a potential Wild Card preview versus the New York Yankees. To do so, the Sox will have to defeat Cy Young hopeful Gerrit Cole (15-8, 3.03 ERA). Boston will kick-off their final regular-season series at Fenway with their playoff hopes on the line.
Chris Sale is reaping the rewards of his teammates’ warm welcome. The Boston Red Sox ace has received incredible run support in his starts during the 2021 season. Boston’s batters have scored 66 total runs on Sale’s seven starts, helping him amass a 5-0 record since August when he returned from nearly two years on the sidelines due to Tommy John surgery.
When the Red Sox and Yankees meet at Fenway Park Friday for the start of a three-game series that will play a critical role in determining the postseason fates of both teams, the American League leader in pitching Wins Above Replacement will take the mound. So will Gerrit Cole. Nate Eovaldi (10-8, 3.58 ERA), a yearlong anchor for the Red Sox, currently sits atop the Fangraphs leaderboard with 5.5 WAR, slightly ahead of Cole (5.2 WAR, 15-8, 3.03).
The dispirited Mets had lost six of seven coming into Wednesday’s game and trailed, 9-1, after three innings. The Mets had some good at-bats against him, but Sale allowed only two runs on six hits and struck out eight. He had a 6-1 lead to work with after two innings.
The Boston Red Sox front office was busy on their penultimate off day of the season. Jarren Duran and Jonathan Araúz were activated from the COVID-19 injured list, then sent down to Triple-A Worcester. In order to make room for them on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated Yacksel RÃos and Geoff Hartlieb for assignment.
WEEI’s Lou Merloni goes on epic rant against anti-Red Sox Boston media members Lou Merloni, the hometown kid who played multiple stints for the Boston Red Sox before moving into broadcasting and radio work, has a bone to pick with a certain faction of the Boston media. Merloni, who now co-hosts “Merloni & Fauria” on WEEI, opened Thursday’s show with what they accurately described on social media as a “rant.
The Atlanta Braves clinched their 13th consecutive division title, winning the NL East with an 8-7 victory over the Florida Marlins. The Braves’ record streak of division championships began with the 1991 NL West title and excludes the 1994 strike-shortened season. Trevor Hoffman became baseball’s career saves leader, earning No.
Marcus Stroman has been the Mets' most consistent starter but after not pitching for seven days, his mechanics weren't where they needed to be vs the Boston Red Sox in NY's 6-3 loss.
Kyle Schwarber obliterates his 30th home run of the season to center field, a solo home run to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning
Chris Sale is looking to stay hot for the Boston Red Sox. After an impressive 6-3 win over the New York Mets on Tuesday night, the Red Sox look to extend their winning streak in the series finale Wednesday with Chris Sale taking the mound. The lanky left-handed pitcher looks to build off of a 7-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles in his last appearance on Sep. 17.
BOSTON — With three hits, including a home run by rookie Ryan Mountcastle, on the first three pitches they saw Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park, the Orioles looked liable to start scoring and simply never stop. It turned out to be the Red Sox who wouldn’t let up. Just as quickly as the Orioles built an early lead, Boston erased it and eventually cruised to a 9-3 victory before an announced ...
The Boston Red Sox are hitting their stride at the right time. Boston enters its Tuesday night series-opener against the New York Mets winners of their last five contests and seemingly have done no wrong. The offense has been cooking to the tune of a .
The Boston Red Sox announced their 2021 minor league award winners Tuesday.
Whitlock has a 1.99 ERA in 72⅓ innings to go along with 79 strikeouts and a 1.12 WHIP. The Red Sox have just 11 games left in the regular season, and entered Tuesday holding a ½-game lead over the Yankees for the second wild card. The Sox recalled Ryan Brasier from Triple A Worcester.
Boston deserves a tip of the cap for being in a position to play meaningful games in September in a season when most pegged them to be mediocre-to-lousy. Playing nine innings while realizing that Chris Sale is a great teammate in every way but the most important one … 1. I don’t know if the Red Sox won the trade deadline.
The Red Sox are promoting top prospect Triston Casas from Double-A to Triple-A for the remainder of the minor league season If you needed another reason to come to the brand-new Polar Park to see the Triple-A WooSox for their final homestand besides the great food and weekly fireworks, the Red Sox just gave you another: Top infield prospect Triston Casas has been promoted from Double-A Portland for the remainder of the season. Across 77 games with the SeaDogs this season, Casas slashed . with a .
The A’s added a seasoned bullpen arm with two weeks left in the season, claiming right-hander Michael Feliz off waivers from the Red Sox. Catcher Aramis Garcia was designated for assignment to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Feliz. Feliz, 28, has 226 major-league appearances in seven seasons.
So if the season had ended Sunday, the Red Sox would host the Blue Jays in the AL Wild Card Game. But it didn’t! There are two weeks’ worth of games remaining, and oddly enough, none have many games remaining against each other.
Trey Mancini, in and out of the Orioles lineup this month with an oblique injury, is battling through soreness for days like Sunday. He badly wants to make it to the end of the season, his first since missing all of 2020 because of colon cancer. “Cancer is the only thing that’s put me on the IL in my career, and I’d like to keep it that way,” Mancini said. “I’m just trying to push through, and ...
It was a good day for the Red Sox. Boston completed the sweep of the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon to keep it atop the American League Wild Card standings. The Red Sox are in a tight race with the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees for the two spots for a shot in the Major League Baseball postseason that begins next month.
Condensed Game: J.D. Martinez slugged a solo home run and Hunter Renfroe belted a go-ahead double in the 7th in the Red Sox's 8-6 win
Next week is a new challenge as the homestand continues when a couple of New York teams both fighting for a playoff spot come into town: the Mets for a couple, and then it’s Red Sox vs. Yankees next weekend. What a time to play this series. Toronto Blue Jays (84-65) Weekly Record: 4-2 A lot of people thought that it was probably too late for the Jays to make the playoffs after they failed to translate their quality of play into wins, significantly underperforming their run differential throughou...
J.D. Martinez had a solo homer and Kevin Plawecki added a two-run single for the Red Sox. "When it's getting down to the end of the year and you don't have a big lead and all the games matter, it gets to be a lot of fun," Hernández said. Trey Mancini had a three-run double for the Orioles, who lost 12 of the final 13 meetings against the Red Sox after sweeping a season-opening three-game series.
Red sox second. Alex Verdugo doubles to left center field. Jose Iglesias grounds out to shallow right field to Ryan Mountcastle.
It was an important day for Major League Baseball this week. Major League Baseball celebrated its 20th annual Roberto Clemente Day on Sep. 15 to honor the life and philanthropic efforts of the Pittsburgh Pirates all-time great. Former Boston Red Sox first baseman and 2009 nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award Kevin Youkilis sat down with Tom Caron to discuss the day.
The Yankees' remaining schedule doesn't help their Wild Card case -- unless they make it that way.
If you’re not feeling good, you still have to go out there and compete,” Bogaerts said. You got to do the best you can to be able to contribute and be productive for the team. I put a lot of pressure on myself and I like that.
They added to their lead in the sixth with a Hunter Renfroe RBI double and a Bogaerts three-run homer to give the Red Sox’ bullpen some cushion. Boston’s final run of the day game in the seventh on a fielder’s choice when Christian Vázquez grounded into a double play. The Red Sox’ bullpen continued to keep the Orioles off the board, with Garrett Richards putting the finishing touches in the ninth with two strikeouts.
Bobby Dalbec drills a two-run double off the wall in left field, scoring Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts to give the Red Sox a 3-2 lead
Xander Bogaerts homered and drove in four runs, carrying the AL wild card-leading Boston Red Sox past the Baltimore Orioles 9-3 Saturday for their fourth straight win. The Red Sox are one game ahead of Toronto and 1 1/2 games in front of the rival Yankees in the playoff chase. It’s fun being able to go out there to help your team,” Bogaerts said.
Jordan Luplow cranks a two-run home run to left field, scoring Manuel Margot to reduce the Rays' deficit to 4-2 in the bottom of the 2nd
BOSTON — With three hits, including a home run by rookie Ryan Mountcastle, on the first three pitches they saw Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park, the Orioles looked liable to start scoring and simply never stop. It turned out to be the Red Sox who wouldn’t let up. Just as quickly as the Orioles built an early lead, Boston erased it and eventually cruised to a 9-3 victory before an announced ...
The goal this weekend was a sweep, and that is still on the table after two games. Things actually got off to a bit of a rocky start on Saturday when Nick Pivetta gave up two runs and three straight hits right off the bat, but the Red Sox had no problem answering back. Things stayed close for a big chunk of the game until Xander Bogaerts had the dagger with a three-run homer to open things up.
Bobby Dalbec just gave the Red Sox some breathing room. The Red Sox first baseman launched a home run to left center field to give Boston a 3-1 lead over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. His 23rd homer of the year came in the fourth inning on a 2-1 count, as he took an 83.3 mph slider up to the top of the wall.
Bobby Dalbec slugs a solo home run to deep left-center field, pushing the Red Sox's lead to 3-1 in the 4th inning
There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Or at least the Red Sox hope there is. With the team in its final stretch of a playoff push, manager Alex Cora announced Friday that it’s likely Tanner Houck will shift to the bullpen, serving in multiple roles.
The Mariners got a needed day off Thursday after an intense three-game series with the Boston Red Sox, and manager Scott Servais said their attention is solely on Kansas City and the three-game series against the host Royals that started Friday. Days off at this time of the year are incredibly valuable, whether you’ve had an intense series or not,” Servais said. I think the players, where they are at physically, they need a blow, and mentally you’re grinding through these series.
The Boston Red Sox almost are fully stocked again as they begin their final homestand of the regular season against the Baltimore Orioles. Alex Verdugo and Christian Vázquez return to the Red Sox starting lineup for Friday’s series opener at Fenway Park. Both came off the bench Wednesday to help the Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners in extra innings and they’ll be keen to help Boston extend its winning streak to three games and strengthen its grip on one of the American League’s wild-card spots.
Pitching Luis Gil (R), rostered in 20% of ESPN leagues, New York Yankees vs. Cleveland: Gil is coming off a rough start against Minnesota (5 ER in 6 IP) and his 5.4 BB/9 is troubling, but there's still plenty to like about the 23-year-old. For one, he boasts elite strikeout potential. After consistently racking up Ks in the minors and posting an 11.7 K/9 in Triple-A, Gil has an 11.5 K/9 through five big-league starts, thanks to a heater he pumps in at 96 mph and a devasting slider.
When the Red Sox morphed from a first-place team into one fighting for its wild card life, many thought maybe they simply were never that good. Alex Cora explained Friday why he's OK with that belief.
For the last homestand of the 2021 season, the Red Sox are drawing inspiration from one of their first. When Boston hosts the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park this weekend, the Red Sox will wear the yellow and blue City Connect jerseys that originally debuted in April. The Boston Marathon-inspired threads made their first appearance on April 17 and were worn again on April 18 before the team switched to their traditional “B Strong” jerseys for Patriots Day.
The Yard Goats finish up the 2021 schedule with six home games against the Portland Sea Dogs, the Red Sox’s Double-A affiliate, at Dunkin’ Donuts Park this week. It’s been a long season for manager Chris Denorfia and the Yard Goats, who are 37-75, last in Double-A Northeast’s Northeast Division. The Colorado Rockies stocked the team with a lot of newcomers, and it showed, though several ...
Kyle Schwarber most certainly is an important cog in the Boston Red Sox machine. The Red Sox acquired the former Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs outfielder at the trade deadline, and since returning to the field after an injury he has been everything Boston could’ve asked for. Schwarber, a longtime outfielder and catcher, has bounced around from a designated hitter role, to the outfield and even has picked up a new position in first base — all while being a constant force towards the top o...

I thought the Red Sox would win somewhere around 83 or 84 games, play meaningful baseball deep into September, and maybe sneak into a wild-card slot. That was an optimistic prediction at the time; none of the six Globe writers in the baseball preview section picked them to make the playoffs. That’s almost exactly how it’s playing out.
These players may be in the final weeks of their Red Sox tenure While the playoff push is in full swing and the Red Sox are fighting for their postseason lives, it’s hard to not start looking toward the future. I don’t like to get the cart ahead of the horse but things are so up in the air right now with this squad it feels like we almost have to start looking at 2022, even if it’s off in the distance.
"Come September you hope that you're right in the fight to win the division or make the wild card and it's been really fun showing up every day," Haniger said. "There's a lot of energy and it's easy to come to the ballpark, and play and work when when you're still in it." Haniger made Boston pay for a costly error by first baseman Kyle Schwarber, hitting a three-run home run with two out in the seventh inning, and the Mariners held on for a 5-4 win over the Red Sox on Monday night.

The Boston Red Sox have fallen outside of a playoff spot Entering the season, many projected the Boston Red Sox to finish fourth in the AL East. At the moment, it appears those predictions may prove accurate. Well, not entirely.
After having pedestrian (or just plain bad) first halves of the season, Bobby Dalbec and Hunter Renfroe have helped the Red Sox keep their playoff hopes alive. If you tried to argue Bobby Dalbec would be one of the best players on the Red Sox heading into a postseason push after what he did before July 31, you’d probably get laughed/shouted off the interwebs. And yet, here we are.
The Mariners could have made things easier on themselves going into a make-or-break, three-game series against the Boston Red Sox that starts on Monday night. But let’s be honest. These are the 2021 Seattle Mariners.
Leury GarcÃa knew Boston Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock has a good fastball. Whitlock began the ninth inning of Sunday’s tied game by striking out Eloy Jiménez and Yasmani Grandal, the No. 4 and 5 hitters in the Chicago White Sox lineup. GarcÃa was up next, and the shortstop quickly fell behind in the count. “When I was 0-2, my mind was still looking for a fastball because that’s one of the ...
We had our chances at the end there against Craig and we did a good job,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters, saying later “we’re playing good baseball. Remind me again which one is the out-of-touch 76 year old? I kid, a little.
Red Sox pitching prospect Jay Groome is getting back on track It’s been a long journey for Jay Groome but the promising pitching prospect is finally starting to work his way back up through the Boston Red Sox minor league system. The Red Sox selected Groome out of high school with the No. overall pick in the first round of the 2016 amateur draft.
Last year I made the case that the Red Sox needed to sign Marcus Semien, and now that the first 5 months of the season have come and gone, we can review his season to see how he could have fit. While Semien was a bit of a wildcard and certainly far from a sure thing given his poor 2020 showing, his 2019 third-place MVP finish allowed for a glimpse at what he can be: a plus offensive and defensive player at a premium position (shortstop).
I’ve been writing about the Red Sox in some capacity since 2011, and I think Eduardo Rodriguez has been my favorite pitcher in that time to write about. That’s not saying he’s necessarily my favorite to watch, and it’s certainly not saying he’s been the best, but rather that he’s just a really interesting pitcher to me. Everything about his pitching, when compartmentalized, suggests he should be great.
