Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that the team expects left-hander Chris Sale (shoulder) to make the start on Friday against the Detroit Tigers and go four innings.

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals. Trevor Story is serving as the designated hitter again and is batting fifth, while Pablo Reyes starts at the 6 and hits leadoff against Royals left-handed opener Austin Cox. It's Turner's third […]

James Paxton In Search Of Bounce-Back Effort Thursday

Boston Red Sox pitcher James Paxton will look to bounce back Thursday night when he takes the ball at home versus the Kansas City Royals. The veteran left-hander was touched up for three homers and four earned runs across five innings his last time out against the Blue Jays, the second time in his last […]

Pablo Reyes Moves Into Leadoff Spot Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Pablo Reyes is hitting out of the leadoff spot for Thursday's series finale versus the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Austin Cox. It's the first start of the season for Reyes in the leadoff spot while he has not started a game hitting higher than the six-hole in the lineup. The […]

Justin Turner To Fight Through Heel Injury

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) is dealing with a left-heel bone bruise that typically requires four to six weeks of rest.

Free MLB Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (8/9/23)

I still love the spots, and while it may not be worth anything of financial worth, […]

After the big […]

Kutter Crawford: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball?

We are officially deep into August now, meaning that generic waiver wire adds are no longer possible. If your team is dominating the power categories and a rival drops Pete Alonso for some reason, you couldn't gain any points by picking him up. Likewise, Jorge Mateo could be a prudent add if a couple of […]
