Even when he isn't putting up […]

Nathan Eovaldi Knocked Around For Five Runs

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi had a difficult outing against the Houston Astros Wednesday, allowing five runs on 11 hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five batters.

Alex Verdugo Sits For Second Straight Day

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is out of the lineup for the second straight day, and manager Alex Cora says that is the result of some minor back tightness.

Chris Sale Confident He'll Pitch In 2021

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) is confident that he'll pitch before the end of this season. "One hundred percent," Sale said Tuesday. "Unless something crazy happens.
