Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox traded left-hander Sean Newcomb to the Athletics for an undisclosed amount of cash on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Massachusetts native was designated for assignment on Saturday after posting a 3.95 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 12 games this season. He opened the year as a starter, taking five turns through the rotation, before being sent to the bullpen, where he has given up runs in each of his last four outings.
A first-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Angels in 2014, Newcomb is 28-29 with a 4.46 ERA in 187 career games with the Braves, Cubs, Athletics and Red Sox.

Magic Johnson Brings Back NBA Playoffs Claim After Pacers' Win
Magic Johnson Brings Back NBA Playoffs Claim After Pacers' Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers have been the little engine that could throughout this year's NBA playoffs. They finished a modest fourth place in the Eastern Conference during the regular season, but over the last several weeks, they have turned into a growing nightmare. Advertisement They upset the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had won 64 games, in the second round of the playoffs, and they then brushed past the New York Knicks, who had just knocked off the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics. Coming into the NBA Finals against the mighty Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana wasn't given much of a chance. But the legendary Magic Johnson warned that the Thunder "should be worried" about Indiana in a post on X on Wednesday. Sure enough, the team erased a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit and took Game 1 of the championship series on a game-winning jumper by Tyrese Haliburton. Johnson took to X afterward to remind everyone of the Pacers' prowess on the road in the postseason this year. "Remember what I said… the Pacers beat every team they've faced on the road during the Playoffs and they kept that streak going tonight against OKC!" Johnson wrote. Game 1 of the finals continues a pattern of the Pacers coming from behind in the final minutes to steal a game on the road early in a series. Indiana Pacers' point guard Tyrese Haliburton© Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images They came back after being down 119-112 with less than a minute left in Game 2 versus Cleveland to win on a 3-pointer by Haliburton just before time expired. Advertisement Then, in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, they bounced back from a double-digit deficit with less than three minutes left in the fourth quarter and forced overtime on a buzzer-beater by Haliburton that bounced high off the rim and went through the net. They then prevailed in overtime by three points. Now, after Thursday's shocking win over the Thunder, the Pacers winning their first NBA championship is a distinct possibility. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Albion duo in England squad as they aim to retain their Euros title
Jack Hinshelwood has been named in the England under-21 squad (Image: Simon Dack) Albion have two players in the England under-21 squad heading to the Euros. Places in Lee Carsley's group for goalkeeper James Beadle and versatile Jack Hinshelwood were confirmed today. Hinshelwood has played as a right-back at times for the 21s but was listed among the midfielders as the group was announced. Advertisement England open their group stage next week against the Czech Republic and then face Slovenia. Hinshelwood ended the club season on a high with the winning goal against Liverpool and two in the 4-1 success at Tottenham. Beadle has spent the last season-and-a-half on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and is expected to head back to the Championship in the coming campaign amid multiple reports of interest from Birmingham City. The Euros take place in Slovakia and England will look to defend the title they won two years ago when goalkeeper James Trafford was among the stars. Hinshelwood helped Albion to their second best finish in his second season in the side as they came eighth in the Premier League. Advertisement He said: "Obviously there were points in the season where we were a bit disappointed and we could probably have ended on a higher points tally. "But it's all learning and I think next season is going to be a really exciting one if we can continue on that kind of trajectory." The headline news from the squad announcement was Liam Delap's absence as he plays for his new club Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup.
