Per Chad Thornburg of MLB.com, Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday after an X-ray and MRI revealed a small crack in the talus bone in his left ankle. The injury will not require surgery, and he's expected to miss 10 to 14 days. In his place the team has announced it will recall infielder Tzu-Wei Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket. This is
The Atlanta Braves are seven games under .500, 14 games out of the NL East race, and 10.5 out of the Wild Card with five teams ahead of them. Washington looks poised to keep their motor running for the next few years, and the Marlins seem to be headed in the right direction. Neither bodes well for the Braves. The Braves are also the oldest team in MLB, with an
A great week of All-Star festivities including one of the best Home Run Derbys ever and an All-Star Game that needed extra innings to complete is in the books. The All-Star break represents the halfway point of the season and gives us a chance to take a look at how teams have been doing this far and what they need to do down the stretch. Roughly 90 games are in
Forearm soreness, MRI, and second opinion. Three words you never want to hear in regards to a pitcher. Boston Red Sox's star pitcher, David Price is scheduled to meet with Dr. James Andrews after dealing with forearm soreness early in spring training. He'll miss his Grapefruit League debut, but the Sox are worried he'll have to miss much more. [Milkins] While this could just be a precautionary measure, the fact
With Spring Training about to get into full gear, all eyes are on the states of Arizona and Florida. Of the 30 MLB teams in the two states, one of the most interesting teams to watch this Spring is none other than the Boston Red Sox. A lot has changed since we last saw the Red Sox on the field. David Ortiz has retired, being replaced by former Texas Ranger
This shouldn't come as a surprise, but Las Vegas already has odds on who the favorite is to win the 2017 World Series. While these numbers are bound to change as the season goes on, it is still something interesting to look at, being that Spring Training has just begun. According to Bovado.com, they are reporting that the favorites to win the 2017 World Series are the Chicago Cubs and
Depending on whose prospect rankings you follow, Red Sox super-prospect is either #1 or #2 in baseball. After the BoSox moved Yoan Moncada for Chris Sale, however, he is the undisputed #1 prospect in the Red Sox system. Does this mean that he is a good bet to blow up this year, and should he be a player to target in your fantasy baseball drafts? [Jeff] Last year, Benintendi had a
The Boston Red Sox have some seriously big names in their starting rotation as we approach the 2017 MLB season. There is the big-name offseason acquisition. There will be the big name free agent who signed a year ago. Then we have the reigning AL Cy Young award winner. We also have a former top prospect who has bounced around between a few teams but showed some solid potential last season
Going into last season, Rick Porcello’s 2015 peripherals indicated that he would be in for a positive regression, and boy howdy did he have a good season. Not only was he a great sleeper for your fantasy baseball squads, but he is currently the reigning Cy Young Award winner in the American League. However, it would not be smart to re-invest in him in 2017, as there were several indications
Pablo Sandoval quickly became one of the worst decisions the Red Sox ever made, including trading Babe Ruth and enacting the Curse of the Bambino. Sandoval was also a disaster for those that invested a fantasy baseball roster slot in the corpulent corner infielder, as he was nigh-on useless in 2015 and notched seven plate appearances without a hit in 2016. Now, the common Sandoval refrain has hit, as he
