In case you forgot what J.D. Martinez was all about ... This is a guy who since July 20 -- or the last games he has played in -- is hitting .425 with a 1.326 OPS and eight home runs. Not a single game has gone by during the stretch where Martinez has not reached base at least once. Friday night he...

Somehow the Red Sox pitching staff’s struggles may have an impact on Mookie Betts’ future in Boston. It sounds crazy, but it’s the basis behind what industry sources told MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.

It’s been an up-and-down year for Chris Sale, and while recent outings have ranged from disappointing to embarrassing, Thursday saw the ace back to his very best. Sale was dominant in a 3-0 Red Sox win over the Angels, going eight shutout innings and giving up just two hits and striking out 13...

Having spent almost seven years in the Red Sox organization, Ty Buttrey has only set foot on the field at Fenway Park twice: once after he signed in 2012, and again on Thursday. Now with the Angels after he was part of Boston’s trade for Ian Kinsler last season, Buttrey will likely — finally — make...

Mired in a nearly month-long slump, David Price now has an injury to deal with as well. The Red Sox placed the veteran lefty on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left wrist injury. In a statement, the team says Price underwent an MRI on his left wrist that revealed a TFCC cyst that was...

J.D. Martinez is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak that has helped provide life at the plate for a struggling Red Sox offense. After being scratched from the lineup in the first game of Boston’s series with the Kansas City Royals, Martinez hit a ground rule double to right field and a...
