    #redsox have a deal with their 1st round pick, terrific high school pitcher Trey Ball

  • Jonny Gomes contributes with Monster effort

    Boston Herald "Jonny Gomes arrived in the offseason with the reputation of being a “clubhouse guy” who would pick up his Red Sox teammates and keep things loose over the grind of a 162-game season. Last night provided Gomes the rare opportunity to pick up the Sox with his bat, and he came through. Gomes belted..." June 19

  • Manny Ramirez done in Taiwan; taken off EDA Rhinos roster

    CBSSports.com "Manny Ramirez's time in Taiwan has come to an end.

  • Dramatic end to sweep for Red Sox

    Boston Herald "It’s June 19 and the Red Sox are in first place, seven games ahead of the always-tough Rays after a doubleheader sweep on a long day and night at Fenway Park. But that isn’t the surprising part. No, the surprising part is that the Red Sox have maintained their status atop the AL East despite two..." June 19

  • Dropped from college team, Daniel Nava works way to stardom

    Boston Herald "It happens whenever Daniel Nava homers, or comes through with a clutch hit, or does just about anything for the Red Sox that merits a 10-second mention on “SportsCenter.” Invariably, Mark O’Brien’s phone buzzes. And then, the teasing begins. “It’s the first thing anybody says — ‘Nice talent..." June 18

  • Wil Myers Debuts Today

    Tampa Tribune "Rookie Wil Myers will play right field and bat sixth today in his major-league debut, the first game of the Tampa Bay Rays' day-night doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. And, by the way, Evan Longoria returns to third base for the first time since Thursday. He spent the last..." June 18

  • Alfredo Aceves produces with spot starting duty

    Boston Herald "Nobody’s going to confuse Alfredo Aceves with Clay Buchholz anytime soon, but lately Aceves has been just as effective as the club’s best starter. Plus, he actually is able to pitch. Aceves gets the ball for his third spot start in the last three weeks this afternoon in the first game of a..." June 18

  • Red Sox beat Rays 5-1 in rain delayed Game 1

    Boston Herald "The first game of the day-night doubleheader between the Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays is finally in the books after a three-hour rain delay. Alfredo Aceves only surrendered one run in five innings and David Ortiz went 2-for-4 with three RBI as the Red Sox improved to 8-2 against the Rays this..." June 18

  • Red Sox place Clay Buchholz, David Ross on DL

    Boston Herald "Clay Buchholz finally threw his bullpen session between games of the rain-delayed day-night doubleheader. Alas, he went on the disabled list anyway. As tonight's game was beginning, the Red Sox announced Buchholz has been placed on the 15-day disabled list and catcher Ryan Lavarnway has been..." June 18

  • Future is now as Wil Myers makes Rays debut

    Tampa Tribune "Waiting for Wil Myers in the Durham Bulls dugout during the middle of the second inning Sunday was Bulls manager Charlie Montoyo, who delivered this message to the young prospect: “You're out of the game. You may or may not be going to the big leagues.” May or may not? The kid has been..." June 18

  • Sox shortage at first looks temporary

    ESPN.com "The Red Sox find themselves temporarily short of first basemen, with Mike Napoli having returned early to Boston to determine the cause of dizziness and grogginess and Mike Carp leaving Sunday’s 6-3 loss to the Orioles in the seventh inning with tightness in his right hamstring. But the Sox..." June 17

    Pete Abraham @PeteAbe

    #RedSox 1B Mike Napoli feeling much better, likely to play at least one game tomorrow. Missed last 3 games with illness.

  • Jon Lester's woes persist as Orioles vex Red Sox again

    Boston Herald "At this rate, the Red Sox are going to have to step up their overall game if they are going to keep ahead of this Baltimore Orioles team. And nobody’s got more room to improve than Jon Lester. Even though Lester thought he had some of his best command of his pitches all season long, made just..." June 17

  • For starters, Red Sox show decay

    Boston Herald "The Red Sox have rolled through the first two and a half months of the season, but trouble is brewing. This isn’t just a knee-jerk reaction to losing 3-of-4 to the Orioles this weekend, including yesterday’s 6-3 setback. It’s a belief born out of watching the last month or so and witnessing a..." June 17

  • Lester not getting innings, results Sox need

    CSN New England "For the first six weeks of the season, you didn't have to look hard to find the positives with Jon Lester. Right from Opening Day, when he out-dueled CC Sabathia and ripped off six decisions in a row in the win column, Lester's strengths were obvious: he was driving the ball down in the..." June 17

  • MLB trade market revolves around pitchers

    Boston Globe "Early this week, the Houston Astros will formulate a game plan as to how to approach their veteran assets. Teams are already calling about Bud Norris, a cheap ($3 million) solution to any contender’s rotation. Cheap in salary, but he won’t be cheap in acquisition cost. The Astros are willing..." June 17

  • Dustin Pedroia will get his first day off of the season Sunday

    WEEI Boston "The dream of 162 will end Sunday. Dustin Pedroia was told by Red Sox manager John Farrell Saturday that he would be getting his first day off of the season when the Sox play the Orioles in the team’s series finale. Pedroia is the only major-leaguer to have played in 70 games this season,..." June 16

  • Gonzalez leads Orioles to 6-3 win over Red Sox

    CSN Baltimore "Miguel Gonzalez admits he can’t get his mind off fatherhood. His wife is due to deliver a baby daughter this week, and Gonzalez is eager for the happy event. In what’s most likely his last start before fatherhood, Gonzalez worked into the seventh inning as the Orioles beat Jon Lester, who used..." June 16

  • Clay Buchholz could hit DL

    Boston Herald "The No. 1 Red Sox starter likely is headed for the disabled list and their first baseman had to fly back to Boston yesterday to address a lingering illness. Other than that, yesterday was a quiet day on the injury front. Clay Buchholz was scratched from Tuesday’s start because of soreness..." June 16

  • Red Sox finally solve Orioles, 5-4

    CSN New England "It looked to be a long day for John Lackey in the first inning at Camden Yards Saturday. The first four Baltimore Orioles all reached base with hard-hit balls and quickly grabbed a 2-0 lead. But just as quickly, Lackey turned the day around and allowed just three more hits through the..." June 16

  • Red Sox Agree to Terms With Third-Round Pick Jon Denney

    NESN "Jon Denney, considered by many to be a first-round talent, slipped to the third round of this year’s MLB draft. That’s where the Red Sox snatched him up with the 81st overall pick, although there was concern about whether they’d be able to sign the 18-year-old catcher. It looks like that..." June 15

  • Jose Iglesias forces issue

    Boston Herald "Jose Iglesias isn’t just giving John Farrell options. He’s giving them to Ben Cherington, too. The trade deadline remains six weeks away, but it’s never too early to start thinking about what the Sox need and what they could trade to get it. There was a time when Iglesias would’ve served as..." June 15

    Sean McAdam @Sean_McAdam

    Buchholz scratched from Sunday bullpen, ruled out of Tuesday start. Still not 100 percent. Doubront will go in his place in doubleheader.

  • Strong pitching performance leads Orioles in 2-0 win over the Red Sox

    Baltimore Sun "The evolution of Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman continued Friday night with an outing that was reminiscent of an experienced veteran and not a guy who was in the minors a year ago wondering about his future in the organization. In the Orioles’ 2-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox in front of..." June 15

  • Alex Wilson’s long journey gives relief to Sox pen

    Boston Herald "Alex Wilson was the loser last night only in the most technical sense. He is the pitcher who allowed Chris Davis to bloop a broken-bat single to left that gave the Orioles a 5-4 victory in 13 innings. But nothing else Wilson did merited the “L” next to his name in the box score. From the..." June 14

  • Xander Bogaerts earns promotion

    Boston Herald "With recent attention justifiably centered on keeping shortstop-third baseman Jose Iglesias on the major league roster and how that impacts third baseman Will Middlebrooks and shortstop Stephen Drew, the Red Sox made a move yesterday involving someone who may turn into the most important Red Sox..." June 14

  • Clay Buchholz pushed back again

    Boston Herald "Clay Buchholz was pushed back again from a tentative Sunday start against the Orioles, but he will pitch on Tuesday. Maybe. The Red Sox cannot quite say for certain that Buchholz’ sore neck, which was feeling better yesterday, will improve enough to throw a full bullpen session on Sunday and..." June 14

    Good for Pedro Ciriaco being traded to Padres for prbnl

  • Chris Davis' bloop single delivers Orioles a 5-4 win over Boston in 13 innings

    CSN Baltimore "The Orioles are used to playing long games. In 2012, they played many long ones, but this year, Thursday’s night was the longest yet. By the time it was over, the Orioles used seven pitchers, and needed some bullpen help for the weekend. Their starter, the prized rookie, Kevin Gausman was sent..." June 14

  • Daniel Nava’s star on rise

    Boston Herald "Quick, name the American League outfielder with the best on-base percentage. No, it isn’t Mike Trout. Not Jose Bautista either. Try Daniel Nava. It’s true. Nava brought a .394 on-base percentage into the Red Sox’ series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays last night. He also was second..." June 13

    Tim Britton @TimBritton

    Buchholz said he's aiming for a return Tuesday.

  • Ortiz says he is 'done with' the Home Run Derby

    CBSSports.com "Even at age 37, Red Sox DH David Ortiz remains one of baseball's most prolific sluggers. He's hitting .309/.394/.608 (164 OPS+) with 13 home runs in 48 games this year after missing the first few weeks with heel problems. Since posting a 102 OPS+ and looking close to done in 2009, Big Papi has..." June 13

  • Red Sox edge Rays 2-1

    CSN New England "For the second time in the last two weeks, Alfredo Aceves answered the call from the Red Sox, stepping in from the minor leagues for a spot start and limiting the opponent to a single run over six innings. Aceves, who held the Phillies to a solo run on May 25, did the same to the Tampa..." June 13

    Buccholz played catch. Said he felt a little stiff after taking some days off. But no pain. Could throw in bullpen on Friday. #redsox

  • Problems continue for Jon Lester as Rays roll

    Boston Herald "In offering up the customary post-start self-evaluation here last night, Jon Lester didn’t mince words. “Just terrible,” he said before adding, “unacceptable” and finally, “horse-(expletive).” And here’s the worst part: It wasn’t limited to only last night. It would have been easier for the..." June 12

  • Andrew Bailey believes in own abilities

    Boston Herald "Andrew Bailey blew three saves in only nine opportunities after returning from right thumb surgery last season, enough for the Red Sox to replace him last winter by trading for Joel Hanrahan. So, now that he’s the closer again, how secure can Bailey possibly feel? “I’m the guy here,” Bailey said..." June 12

  • Jonny Gomes, mates not sidetracked by scrap

    Boston Herald "Jonny Gomes was not impressed. Monday night’s bench-clearing incident here was more like a book-club gathering, featuring home-baked oatmeal raisin cookies served with a nice Oolong tea, than anything remotely resembling a baseball brawl. It was, said Gomes yesterday, “just a 60-yard sprint,..." June 12

  • Mortensen hopes DL stint will fix 'nagging' hip

    CSN New England "In need of a fresh arm for Tuesday night following their 14-inning marathon Monday, the Red Sox made a roster move involving their bullpen -- and they're not done yet with shuffling pitchers in and out. Clayton Mortensen was placed on the 15-day DL with a right hip impingement and the Sox..." June 12

  • Daniel Nava Stands Out as Most Improved Player for Red Sox, As Outfielder Has Defied Odds to Become Complete Player

    NESN "Baseball is a game full of surprises, but you would expect that after hanging around the game for long enough, you’ll eventually see everything. That’s not necessarily the case, and the story of Daniel Nava‘s path to the major leagues is proof of that. Picked off the proverbial scrap heap of the..." June 12

    Clay Buchholz felt some stiffness when he threw today. Sounds like #RedSox may push him back again, from Sunday to Tuesday

    Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo

    Three undisclosed teams interested in inf Pedro Ciriaco who was DFA Monday. Looks like Red Sox will work out a deal.

  • Joyce, Rays roll past Lester, Red Sox

    Tampa Bay Times "Matt Joyce seemed a bit on the defensive, having to explain his actions that led to him being hit by a pitch and in the middle of a benches-clearing incident in Monday's marathon loss when he felt he didn't do anything wrong. So Tuesday night, he went on the offensive, hitting the longest, and..." June 12

  • Sox pitching needs arms

    Boston Herald "Even before their pitching plans went up in the smoke of a 14-inning marathon here last night, it seemed unlikely that Clay Buchholz would make his next start for the Red Sox. And now? “We’ve got to get some arms in here,” manager John Farrell said after the Red Sox used eight pitchers in a wild..." June 11

  • Jose Iglesias needs to play

    Boston Herald "The easy part is over. The Red Sox are a better team with Jose Iglesias on the roster than Pedro Ciriaco, so the team did the right thing by designating Ciriaco for assignment when Will Middlebrooks returned to action yesterday. Now comes the hard part. Right now, the Red Sox are a better..." June 11

  • Pedroia comes up big on ‘D’

    Boston Herald "As Dustin Pedroia continued his campaign last night to wrap up the Gold Glove at second base before the midway point of the season, he also timed his defensive highlights for just the right time. They saved the Red Sox from defeat. In the 10-8, 14-inning victory against the Rays, Pedroia..." June 11

  • Bard placed in DL while with AA Portland

    WEEI Boston "Red Sox right-hander Daniel Bard — currently in Double-A Portland — was placed on the disabled list on June 9 due to a strained abdominal muscle. According to an industry source, he has experienced mild discomfort in the muscle at different times this year, but felt more significant discomfort..." June 11

  • Joe Maddon on dugouts-clearing melee: John Lackey 'a bad teammate'

    Boston Herald "A decade ago, John Lackey and Joe Maddon developed a close relationship as pitcher and bench coach, respectively, with the Angels. Times have changed. Pitching for the Red Sox here Monday night, Lackey touched off a dugouts-clearing dustup in the sixth inning against the Maddon-managed Rays..." June 11

  • Sox beat Rays in 14 innings

    Boston Herald "If the only thing Jarrod Saltalamacchia did here last night was crouch behind the plate for 14 innings and receive 222 pitches from eight different pitchers, the Red Sox would have gotten their money’s worth. But Saltalamacchia proved even more valuable. After the Red Sox fumbled a six-run..." June 11

  • Will is back, but for Iglesias, a way to stay

    ESPN.com "The Red Sox roster underwent a significant change Monday that went beyond third baseman Will Middlebrooks being activated from the disabled list. Jose Iglesias is going nowhere. The 23-year-old Cuban, bitterly disappointed when he was demoted to Triple-A Pawtucket back in April, is on the..." June 10
