KANSAS CITY -- While the Red Sox spent the first five innings of Monday night’s opener of a three-game series against the Royals continuing that prolonged search to find some offense, Sonny Gray, the ultimate craftsman, went to work.

The offense eventually did have a moment to savor, and Willson Contreras

KANSAS CITY -- Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony’s plan to take a significant step forward in his rehab on Monday was halted when he took some swings and felt some soreness in his ailing right wrist.

The hope was for Anthony to start a gradual program of swinging early

ATLANTA -- While Trevor Story evaluates his recovery options following a sports hernia diagnosis that has landed him on the 10-day injured list indefinitely, the Red Sox are at least contemplating the possibility of moving Marcelo Mayer to his natural position of shortstop.

The Sox thought highly enough of

ATLANTA -- Celebrating his 27th birthday and coming off two stellar performances in bulk relief, Brayan Bello was looking for a coming-of-age moment in his return to the rotation on Sunday.

Instead, he experienced another setback in what has been his most wobbly season to date.

After a season-best four hits Saturday, Justin Gonzales had more in the tank.

MLB's No. 97 prospect uncorked his sixth long ball of the season on a two-hit, three-RBI game Sunday to fuel High-A Greenville's 12-10 victory over Bowling Green at Fluor Field.

ATLANTA – Searching for the big hit like someone thirsts for water on a 100-degree day in the desert, Willson Contreras put at least a temporary end to a stunning offensive dryspell for the Red Sox of late.

ATLANTA -- The struggling Red Sox now have another injury to deal with. And it sounds like this one is going to take a while.

Shortstop Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia before Saturday’s game against the Braves. In a corresponding move,

ATLANTA -- In recent days, scoring runs has practically vanished for the Red Sox.

So when Marcelo Mayer belted an equalizing solo shot with two outs in the seventh, it looked like a momentum-changing hit could finally be in the air for a team that needs a jolt of

ATLANTA -- There was something different about Roman Anthony at first glimpse when he walked to his locker on Friday afternoon.

The outfielder no longer had a brace on his recovering right wrist. And that, right there, signified progress.

A couple of minutes later, there was more progress.

BOSTON -- Facing his former teammates for the first time since signing with Boston in the offseason, Ranger Suarez was electric, tossing 5 1/3 scoreless innings in a 3-1 loss against the Phillies at Fenway Park on Thursday.

Returning to the hill for the first time since

The American League East is a lot of things. It’s never boring.

That appears to be the case again this season. The Rays and Yankees have been the best teams in the AL by a considerable margin. The Orioles, Blue Jays and Red Sox have been … interesting, albeit not for

BOSTON -- The Fenway freeze has to end at some point, doesn’t it?

While Wednesday night’s 3-1 victory over the Phillies represented only a slight thaw for Boston’s cold bats (particularly cold this season in home games), it also signified hope of a turnaround.

BOSTON -- In his full home white uniform, Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet took his most significant step since his placement on the injured list when he threw a 20-pitch side session off the mound at Fenway Park prior to Wednesday’s game against the Phillies.

“That's a good step

Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin graduated from prospect status by exceeding 130 Major League at-bats Wednesday, and if we’re going to get a new No. 1 overall prospect, we might as well make some tweaks to the full Top 100 Prospects list.

Every so often during the baseball season, we

BOSTON -- Has the switch to a bulk-innings role the last two times out changed the course of Brayan Bello’s season, or has the righty simply gotten his groove back?

BOSTON -- Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras is recovering nicely from the right hand contusion he suffered in Sunday’s 4-1 loss to the Rays. Though he was out of the lineup for Tuesday’s opener against the Phillies, Contreras participated in baseball activities prior to the contest and

The Phillies and Red Sox have been running on parallel tracks all season, one in the National League and one in the American League. Both expected to contend. Both stumbled badly enough to dismiss their managers before the start of May. And both are now trying to work their way
