The Boston Red Sox finished up a 10-game road trip with two straight wins against the New York Yankees Saturday and Sunday. After going 2-6 through the first eight games, the Red Sox won a road series for the first time in the month to end the month of June. The Red...

Before Wednesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners, Clay Buchholz was officially activated from the 15-day disabled list. In order to make room on the 25-man roster, the Boston Red Sox designated Chris Capuano for assignment. The lefty was 1-1 on the season...

Brock Holt’s ascent from utility player to team MVP this season defies normal explanation. I’ve concluded that his meteoric rise must be due to superpowers, and that in fact Brock Holt is a superhero. Here are some possible origins of these powers. Brock Holt...

The Boston Red Sox are still a long way away from catching the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East with a 31-38 record through 69 contests. There are eight teams between them and the second Wild Card spot as well as a 5.5 game difference. Sure, there are still 93 games...

The Red Sox’s deep and potent offense was one of the hallmarks of the club’s World Series run in 2013. From the top of the order to the bottom, Boston boasted hitters who could do damage to the opposition and also work the count, making it a tough task for opposing...

The Boston Red Sox are nine games behind the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays and have really been underachieving most of the 2014 season. After a 1-5 mark over the past week, the team needs to right the ship fast as the record for the season is 28-34 through 62...

A lot went wrong during the Red Sox’s 10-game losing streak, and the collapse of the club’s starting rotation was a contributing factor. As a whole this season, Boston has gotten roughly league-average work out of their starters, who place 14th among MLB teams in FIP...

It has been 10 days since the Boston Red Sox signed Stephen Drew to the one-year contract, but he was called up Monday and was in the starting lineup at shortstop. The 31-year-old struggled with Triple-A Pawtucket as he went 2-for-13 with five strikeouts with one...

The Boston Red Sox are now 27-29 on the season after a perfect 7-0 week. The win on Monday ended a 10-game losing streak in which the Red Sox pitching was subpar and the hitting with runners in scoring position barely happened. Over the past week, the Red Sox pitching...

Even though Rubby De La Rosa hasn’t started in the majors since August 2011 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the young flamethrower will get the ball Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Rays in the place of Clay Buchholz, who is on the 15-day DL with a...
