A Yastrzemski hasn’t suited up for the Boston Red Sox since 1983. As for the last time a Yastrzemski sent the Red Sox to the postseason? Try today. Ronald Acuña Jr. Basketball Jersey Giveaway is Sept. 24! With a win or an Astros loss, the Red Sox could clinch an AL Wild Card berth on Sunday. In theory, Plan A — winning a game — sounds simpler. In practice, the team to beat was the Rays at Tropicana Field. No luck there. Boston surrendered four runs before retiring a batter in the bottom of the...
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — As the Boston Red Sox celebrated an improbable post-season berth at Tropicana Field, with Champagne and beer flowing all around, the clubhouse soundtrack seemed appropriate. “Stayin’ Alive.’’ “I think that pretty much says it all,’’ left fielder Roman Anthony said Sunday. “We pretty much stayed alive when nobody else thought we could. Now here we are.’’ The Red Sox were 32-46 and 15 1/2 games back in the AL East race on June 24. They have since gone 52-25 and will be in ...

ST. PETERSBURG — After finishing their regular-season home schedule with yet another victory at Tropicana Field, the Rays are potentially one win away from clinching their first American League East championship since 2021. The Rays jumped out to a big lead against the Red Sox in Sunday afternoon’s series finale and rolled to a 5-1 win, their 55th of the season in their rebuilt and restored home dome. They can eliminate the Yankees from the AL East race as soon as Tuesday. Rays Postseason Tick...
The Boston Red Sox have come a long way from a 10-17 start that resulted in major changes to the coaching staff.
The Boston Red Sox played today like a team that knew the region’s attention would be turned to the New England Patriots. Patrick Sandoval started the game and almost immediately ended it, surrendering four runs before even recording an out. The offense, for most of the day, was non-existent. They loaded the bases in the […]
The final road game of the 2026 regular season is upon us, as the Yankees will conclude it with a seven-game homestand before likely hosting the Red Sox for the Wild Card Series. If the season ends there, this is the end of the line for the gray uniforms for 2026, but obviously, we all […]
Alex Bregman’s day ended early on Sunday. The Chicago Cubs third baseman exited against the Boston Red Sox after being struck in the face by a foul ball while in the on-deck circle. Bregman immediately grabbed his face and was bloodied by the impact. He was taken into the clubhouse and replaced by Matt Shaw. The 32-year-old has shone in his first season in Chicago. He entered Sunday slashing .260/.350/.451 with a .801 OPS, 26 home runs and 88 RBIs. The Cubs have just seven games left in the re...
Could the Boston Red Sox sign Randy Arozarena this offseason? Also, what of Pirates star Brandon Lowe? And Torey Lovullo, Diamondbacks manager, is preparing for the worst.
Franklin Arias joined an ultra-exclusive group on Saturday. In fact, it’s actually more of a duo. MLB’s No. 3 prospect built on his impressive age-20 season, belting his 25th big fly of the year in Triple-A Worcester’s 4-3 loss to Durham at Polar Park. The only other Red Sox prospect to reach that mark at that age or younger since at least 2005? Three-time MLB All-Star Anthony Rizzo. Subscribe to the MLB Pipeline Newsletter Rizzo crushed 25 homers in 136 games during the 2010 Minor League seas...
The Red Sox are in a good position as far as their postseason rotation goes. Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez, and Payton Tolle will get the nods in a three-game series, and Jake Bennett, Patrick Sandoval, and Brayan Bello may be considered for the fourth rotation spot should the Sox advance to the Division Series. The bullpen has performed well this year, although it could use some reinforcement in light of the shoulder soreness that’s affecting Aroldis Chapman at the moment. Bello started last nigh...
Happy Sunday, folks. Given the results around the league last night, it appears that the Red Sox’s magic number to clinch the postseason is down to one. The Rangers can get to 85 wins, while the Astros can get to 84. If the Rangers were to get to 85 wins, they’d clinch the American League […]
They haven’t clinched a postseason berth yet, but it looks more likely by the day that the Boston Red Sox have a date with the New York Yankees in the Wild Card round again. This will be the third matchup between these two arch rivals in the Wild Card round since 2021, with each organization winning once. The Red Sox got the best of Gerrit Cole in 2021 at Fenway Park, while the Yankees won two straight elimination games to knock off Boston in the Bronx last year. This series promises to be low...

ST. PETERSBURG — The Rays’ infield has been made whole again, as Tampa Bay reinstated the versatile and valuable Ben Williamson from the injured list before Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox at Tropicana Field. To make room for Williamson’s return, the club made the difficult decision to designate veteran outfielder Jake Fraley for assignment. Fraley returned from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday, but he would have been hard-pressed to carve out a role on the team’s postseason roste...
X-rays on Willson Contreras’s hand were negative, but don’t take that to mean everything is sunshine, rainbows, and Swiss cheese. Contreras’s hand still shows visible bruising and he cannot grip a bat. He hopes to take some initial swings today. “Hand’s still really sore. Woke up feeling a little better,” he said. “I can squeeze […]
White Sox general manager Chris Getz recently said, “As a whole, we felt like we’ve been playing with house money. What an opportunity for these guys to go out and compete [in meaningful late-season games].” Yes, that’s the wrong color Sox, but I’ve been thinking this exact same thing as a Red Sox fan. After […]
