BOSTON — Rookie Roman Anthony is batting fifth in Boston’s lineup for a third straight game Wednesday. It’s the same lineup manager Alex Cora used Tuesday. The Red Sox and Rays will play the rubber game of their three-game series at 7:10 p.m. here at Fenway Park.

Would it be reckless for the Red Sox to buy at the trade deadline? That all depends where they are in the standings. But one baseball writer believes they'll keep hope alive long

ESPN’s David Schoenfield released his predictions for the American and National League teams and had two members of the Boston Red Sox representing the AL.

Pedro Martinez ’s time with the Red Sox came at the peak of Boston’s rivalry with the Yankees. So when the former pitcher-turned-analyst compliments New York, fans take notice. Martinez had some positive comments as the Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals, 10-2, on Tuesday.

Cora has long held a philosophy of pinch hitting for rookies against left-handed relievers or sitting them against lefty starters.

After being officially promoted to the major leagues on Monday, Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony is now the youngest player in the major leagues. Having just turned 21 years old, Young is barely older than Jackson Chourio,
