Red Sox calling up 2 players from Triple-A on Sunday — but not Roman Anthony
ATLANTA — The Red Sox roster that takes the field Sunday at Truist Park is expected to look a little bit different than the one that was shut out Saturday afternoon in a 5-0 loss.
Two reinforcements are en route from Triple-A Worcester — but Roman Anthony is not being promoted. Boston is expected to promote utility man Nate Eaton and right-handed reliever Luis Guerrero before Sunday's series finale in Atlanta, multiple sources confirmed.

(UPDATE: Boston placed reliever Justin Slaten on the 15-day injured list (right elbow inflammation), optioned utility man Nick Sogard to Triple-A and designated catcher Blake Sabol for assignment in a series of roster moves Sunday morning).
Eaton, a 28-year-old who has 72 games of MLB experience with Kansas City, has hit .277 with five homers, 27 RBIs and an .811 OPS while playing six different positions for the WooSox this year. He's a right-handed hitter, giving him a short-term edge over Anthony, who the Red Sox are keeping in Worcester for at least a few more days.
Eaton, who has primarily played third base (164 innings), center field (156.1 innings) and right field (79.2 innings) for the WooSox, has hit .300 with an .844 OPS against left-handed pitchers in Triple-A this year. The Red Sox will face two southpaws early in the week when the Angels come to town and start Tyler Anderson and Yusei Kikuchi, then could have more matchups against southpaws like Ryan Yarbrough and/or Carlos Rodón over the weekend in the Bronx. The thinking might be that Anthony, a left-handed hitter, doesn't represent as good of a short-term option — and the service time equation obviously plays a role, too.
'I don't think there's a perfect answer to that,' chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Saturday when asked about a timeline for Anthony's big league debut. 'We're trying to balance what's best for Roman and his development with where we are as a team and the way we're prioritizing our 2025 season. We try to lean on the goals and process you think about in the offseason when the noise isn't quite so loud.

'I think you also have to be willing to react to the situation you have right now. It's impossible to ignore the performance he has had in Triple-A and how that's lining up with our struggles here at the big league level, but we're also trying to be mindful of the environment that we put him in, what he still has to work on, and what the pressure and demands would be. We'll try to make the best decision we can for him.'
Guerrero, 24, has bounced back and forth between the big leagues at Triple-A throughout the year. He has a 1.69 ERA in four big league games and a 4.43 ERA in 20 ⅓ innings for the WooSox. The flamethrower owns a 1.17 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 15 ⅓ MLB frames over the last two seasons.
Beyond the Monster's Chris Henrique first reported the Eaton promotion.

New building proposed by Boston Red Sox ownership would overlook Fenway Park's Green Monster
A new building is being proposed next to Fenway Park that would be very noticeable to Boston Red Sox fans taking in a game at the ballpark. The Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Red Sox, has unveiled renderings for an office/retail building at 55 Lansdowne St., which is between the ballpark and the Mass Pike. Construction could start in 2026. Renderings show that the brick building, which stands 129 feet tall, would be clearly visible above the 37-foot Green Monster. A spokesperson for the project acknowledged that the new building could block views of the iconic Citgo sign for some inside Fenway. "Views from certain angles will change with the addition of this building," the spokesperson said. The proposed new office building behind Fenway Park Morris Adjmi Architects + JAKLITSCH / GARDNER ARCHITECTS + Gensler But at a public planning department meeting on Monday, Yanni Tsipis with WS Development said the building will fit "really beautifully and contextually in with the streetscape, the Fenway Park ecosystem." "It could have been a lot taller than this," Tsipis said. "We didn't think that was the right approach." Developers say their priorities for the new development include putting "people and bicycles first," respecting and preserving history and "avoid becoming a sports theme park." The Red Sox and Fenway Sports Groups would move their office space to the new building, freeing up space in the ballpark that could be used to improve the fan experience. Genevieve Day with The Fenway Alliance said at the meeting that the proposal looks like a "huge improvement" over the parking garage that currently sits there. "It really looks like one of those buildings that has always been there," she said. "It almost looks like a warehouse building that you are repurposing."

HSBC upgrades Brazil's Embraer on strong delivery outlook
--HSBC upgraded Brazilian planemaker Embraer to 'Buy' from 'Hold,' saying a record order backlog, improving output, and growing momentum in executive jets and defense deliveries support a positive earnings trajectory through this year. The brokerage raised its price target to $57 from $45, citing a higher valuation for Embraer's eVTOL unit EVE and a lower discount rate in its cash flow model. The new target implies a 24% upside from current levels. 'With an all-time high backlog of $26.4bn at end-Q1, Embraer offers strong revenue generation in the coming quarters, which is supported by accelerated efforts to remove output bottlenecks and spread production more evenly over quarters,' HSBC wrote. It expects robust second-quarter performance with nine aircraft already in finished inventory, equal to nearly 20% of last year's Q2 deliveries. HSBC forecasts a 28% year-on-year rise in executive jet deliveries in the first quarter of 2025 and sees steady demand in defense, particularly for the KC-390 and A-29 aircraft. It also flagged the upcoming Paris Air Show as a potential source of new orders. The bank said the impact of new U.S. tariffs, 10% on Brazilian imports, is likely limited, estimating a roughly 90 basis-point hit to EBIT margins in the Executive and Services segments, but noted that Embraer plans to offset these through cost cuts and increased U.S. content. Commercial aviation is unaffected, and overall 2025 margin guidance remains unchanged. HSBC maintained its 2025 revenue estimate of $7.5 billion, at the top of company guidance, and its consolidated adjusted EBIT margin forecast at 7.9%. It now values the company at 10.8x and 8.1x 2025 and 2026 EV/EBITDA respectively, versus a five-year average of 8.7x. A successful flight test of EVE's first full-scale prototype, scheduled for mid-2025, could serve as a key catalyst, the firm added.

A-ha singer reveals Parkinson's diagnosis as band issues statement
The A-ha singer Morten Harket has shared that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's. In a statement released today (Wednesday, June 4), the Norwegian band revealed the diagnosis. It read: "This isn't the sort of news anyone wants to deliver to the world, but here it is: Morten has Parkinson's disease.' In his own statement on the band's official website, Harket, 65, said he originally kept the degenerative condition 'strictly private' but has now decided to tell fans. He said: "I've got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I've taken to heart my 94-year-old father's attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: 'I use whatever works'". Harket shared that he'd been trying his best to prevent his "entire system from going into decline". He added: "It's a difficult balancing act between taking the medication and managing its side effects. "There's so much to weigh up when you're emulating the masterful way the body handles every complex movement, or social matters and invitations, or day-to-day life in general.' His symptoms have been 'softened' thanks to developments in treatment from the Mayo Clinic in the United States. As reported by The Independent, Harket shot to fame in the 1980s with synth pop trio A-ha's international chart-topping song 'Take On Me', which was released in 1985. It became a hit after its third time being released with assistance from an animated video, directed by Steve Barron. Harket has released 11 albums with A-ha, as well as six solo records. According to the NHS website, Parkinson's disease is "a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years". The main symptoms involve involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body, slow movement and stiff muscles.

"This leads to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain. "Dopamine plays a vital role in regulating the movement of the body. A reduction in dopamine is responsible for many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease."
