Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
1922 White Sox pitcher Charlie Robertson fired a perfect game, beating the Tigers, 2-0, in Detroit. Robertson’s perfect game only took one hour and 55 minutes to complete. The 26-year-old rookie struck out six, in just the fourth start of his career. In the second inning, Earl Sheely drove in both Sox runs with a single. As proof of Robertson’s […]
Red Sox 1 Blue Jays 8 That turned into a surprisingly comfortable win. I didn’t think Eric Lauer looked great today, lots of deep fly balls finding gloves, but he only allowed one run in his 4.1 innings, on a Willson (who puts two L’s in Wilson?) Contreras home run. He gave up 5 hits, […]
The Red Sox have lost the quick-flash momentum of the managerial change already. Chad Tracy fell to 2-2 as the interim after another poor starting pitching outing and insufficient run production. Boston failed to lock up a pair of series wins against division opponents, as the Blue Jays earned the advantage of this three-game set. […]
The Boston Red Sox will give away 'Heated Rivalry' Hollander and Rozanov jerseys and host a themed pregame dance party.
The last vestiges of the Eduardo Nunez trade from 2017 exist in the form of reliever Gregory Santos, whom the Boston Red Sox signed as an amateur free agent allllll the way back in 2015. It wouldn’t be until 2021 that he’d make his major league debut with the San Francisco Giants and after 5.2 […]
So we have an afternoon game. Game three of Three with the Red Sox. Then the Jays fly off to Minnesota to play the Twins for four games. George Springer is back, but not in the lineup. That seems strange to me. Why put him on the roster if he isn’t going to play? Jays, […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 3:07 p.m. ET The Red Sox need a complete 180 from Brayan Bello when he takes the mound Wednesday afternoon at Rogers Centre. His last start with 13 hits allowed in Baltimore must be flushed as the Red Sox look to cap the road trip with another series win. Boston deploys […]
The fact that baseball managers and coaches wear uniforms is so weirdly delightful. It’s one of those things that, like gravity, we all just accept because it’s always been there, despite the fact that it is obviously absurd. None of them play the game on the field. Many of them probably use the back pockets […]
Worcester: L, 1-10 (BOX SCORE) It’s notable that Seth Martinez, who struggled out of the gate, was not meant to be the starter in this game. That slot belonged to Jake Bennett, who was scratched earlier in the day. It’s also notable that Toronto is just a three hour ride through the New York State […]
Tenacious pitching was the star of the show last night in Arlington, with a great deal of excellent defense from both sides, as well. Oh, and Lady Luck too. Plenty of plays come down to skill, but sometimes, fortune just has to favor you, too. To wit, Fernando Cruz could practice this throw all day […]
I tried to be patient. I really did. It’s late April, and I know better than to overreact to a month of baseball from a team that was 43-45 last June before going on a tear. But there is a point where patience crosses the line into insanity, and Red Sox fans crossed it. The […]
Sometimes, it pays to put the numbers down and take a deep historical look at things. Teams fire managers in the season nearly every year, but it is fairly rare to see teams fire their manager before the halfway point in the season. In fact, coming into the season it had only happened six times […]
Good morning! The Phillies — wanting to get in on some of that sweet, sweet dysfunction — copied the Red Sox by firing their own manager yesterday. Rumors immediately swirled that Alex Cora would reunite with his old boss, Dave Dombrowski. But those rumors were quickly quashed when it was revealed that interim manager Don […]
Across the human population, right-handedness is the norm. Somewhere around 90% of the general population is right-handed. In Major League Baseball, the numbers are different. In 2026 around 20% of players throw with their left hand and just over 31% hit from the left side. That’s not a small variation from the population – it’s […]
Barcelona’s hunt for a new number nine has shifted toward London as the club looks to add some much-needed bite to Hansi Flick’s attack. While the team is cruising toward a league title and already has the Supercopa in the bag, winning the UEFA Champions League remains a dream and it may require a clinical […]
Red Sox 0 Blue Jays 3 That’s all the Jays need for a win, have their pitchers throw a shutout. . Trey Yesavage continued on from where he finished off last year. He went 5.1, allowing just 4 hits, no walks, with 3 strikeouts. John pulled him at 74 pitches. Trey seemed a bit bemused […]
Every once in a while, you get a picture (like that one up there of Jarren Duran) that so perfectly encapsulates how the night went for the offense, you just have to use it. But tonight, we got two: After a three game winning streak that included several signs of life from the lineup, they […]
Red Sox minor leaguer Drew Ehrhard has retired from playing and joined the big league club as a bullpen catcher, as was first reported by Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Ehrhard, 27, has been in the Red Sox organization since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Division II Tampa (where he played … Continue reading "Drew Ehrhard joins Red Sox as bullpen catcher"
Yesavage is back. Yay. And we are facing a lefty, for the second day in a row. It went so well yesterday. The lineup is much the same as yesterday, but Andres Gimenez is in after missing a couple of games. George Springer faced live pitching in batting practice again. He must be close to […]
In a battle of potential young studs on the mound, Payton Tolle is set to take on Trey Yesavage. Tolle is coming off an electric outing against the Yankees, which Over The Monster’s own Jake Roy went into detail about earlier this morning. If you haven’t read that piece, go do it right now because […]
From Boston on down, several Red Sox pitching prospects have stood out in the early stages of the 2026 season. One name that may be flying under the radar, though, is Dylan Brown. Brown made this week’s Baseball America Hot Sheet as a prospect with “helium” after his most recent start for Low-A Salem last … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospect Dylan Brown off to promising start with Low-A Salem"
Ahead of their series opener against the Nationals on Tuesday, the Mets placed Kodai Senga on the 15-day injured list with lumbar spine inflammation and recalled Christian Scott from Triple-A Syracuse. Senga came out of the gate strong this season. In his first two starts, the 33-year-old pitched 11.2 innings, allowing four runs (3.09 ERA) […]
Shohei Ohtani snapped the longest home run drought of his Dodgers tenure in a three-hit game on Sunday, and collected three more hits, including an RBI double in the ninth on Monday to help set up Kyle Tucker’s walk-off winner. Ohtani has reached base nine times in his last 14 plate plate appearances over the […]
Last season, I revived the wonderful groug’s Bullpen Trust Power Ranking bit to… mixed results. This year, I thought I’d try something different and simply review it every month. It’s not yet the end of April, but it’s been over a month since the season started, so now is a great time to check in. […]
Boston Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez was well on his way to throwing a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. I, for one, am glad that he couldn’t get the job done. If you aren’t aware of the circumstances, let me paint the picture for you. Suarez allowed just one hit across eight […]
