Red Sox Pitcher's Wild Behavior Caught on Camera During Rays Game
Red Sox Pitcher's Wild Behavior Caught on Camera During Rays Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox shepherded in the Roman Anthony era on Monday, calling up baseball's top overall prospect to complete the 'Big 3' of Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell. Advertisement That was all the talk at Fenway as the Red Sox took on the Rays in the first game of a three-game set. Brayan Bello pitched into the seventh inning, giving up three runs to lower his ERA to 3.91. One pitcher who didn't have such a nice night was lefty Brennan Bernandino, who gave up two runs in just 1/3 innings which included a wild pitch. Following his rough outing, Bernandino went into a full windup and fired his glove into the dugout in a display of anger. Bernandino, who had a 0.71 ERA in an MLB-leading 16 appearances in May, has an 18.00 ERA in three innings across four appearances in June. Bernandino could be overworked, or hitters could be seeing him better, but his ERA has ballooned from 1.52 on May 31 to 3.38 after tonight's disaster. Advertisement The veteran lefty spoke to his flexibility in May, saying: "My role is whenever they call my name, just try to go get the job done... I think there's value in that." However, after coming off a defiant series victory in the Bronx against the Yankees, pitching struggles back at Fenway certainly isn't how Bernandino or anyone in the organization drew it up.

Wilyer Abreu homers twice as Red Sox upend Rangers
May 8 - Wilyer Abreu and Alex Bregman both went 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 6-4 win over the visiting Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. Abreu homered twice and hit an RBI double across his last three at-bats as the Red Sox overcame a 3-2 deficit by scoring the game's final four runs, making a winner out of reliever Brennan Bernardino (1-0). Bregman got the Boston scoring started with a solo shot two batters before Abreu in the fourth, marking the 200th homer of his career. He then flipped the score with a two-run, two-out single in the seventh. Ceddanne Rafaela went 2-for-3 and scored a run for the Red Sox, who snapped a three-game skid. Josh Jung (2-for-4) and Adolis Garcia both homered for Texas. Joc Pederson was 2-for-3 with a double. Jacob Webb (2-2) took the loss. Texas starter Tyler Mahle limited the hosts to four hits across the first five innings, including fourth-inning home runs by Bregman and Abreu -- the first two he allowed all season. However, three straight Red Sox hits off reliever Hoby Milner included Abreu's game-tying double off the wall in center. The potential go-ahead run in Kristian Campbell was thrown out on a relay. Red Sox first baseman Romy Gonzalez appeared to beat out a fielding error that scored a go-ahead run in the sixth, but the call was overturned following review. Gonzalez collided with Texas counterpart Josh Smith and left the game before the following half-inning. Abraham Toro replaced Gonzalez. Back-to-back singles by Connor Wong and Rafaela set the table for Bregman's key two-out hit in the seventh, and Abreu added a solo shot inside the right field pole an inning later. Jung greeted Boston closer Aroldis Chapman with a solo homer to begin the ninth. Chapman issued a one-out walk before notching his fifth save. The Rangers manufactured a game-opening run in the third. Jonah Heim drew a leadoff walk and reached third on Jung's wall-ball double before scoring on a Corey Seager groundout, but Boston starter Tanner Houck stranded the bases loaded. Garcia doubled the Texas lead an inning later, roping a leadoff homer off the left field foul pole. Mahle's no-hit and shutout bids in one swoop in the fourth. Bregman got the hosts on the board with a one-out solo shot over the Green Monster, while Abreu went deep into the right-center field bullpen to tie the game. The Rangers untied the game and chased Houck after 4 2/3 innings. Back-to-back hits by Seager (leadoff single) and Joc Pederson (double) set the table for a sacrifice fly by Garcia two batters later. Houck gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits.

Red Sox announce Opening Day roster for 2025 season
The Boston Red Sox announced their 2025 Opening Day roster Thursday afternoon, just a few hours prior to their game against the Rangers in Texas . Rookie Kristian Campbell made the cut as was widely reported last week, while reliever Liam Hendriks will begin the season on IL. Here's a breakdown of the 26-man roster Boston will start the 2025 season with: Pitchers (13): Brennan Bernardino, Walker Buehler, Aroldis Chapman, Cooper Criswell, Garrett Crochet, Richard Fitts, Tanner Houck, Zack Kelly, Sean Newcomb, Justin Slaten, Greg Weissert, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Wilson Catchers (2): Carlos Narváez, Connor Wong Infielders (5): Alex Bregman, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, David Hamilton, Trevor Story Outfielders (3): Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, Rob Refsnyder Infielder/Outfielders (3): Kristian Campbell, Romy Gonzalez, Ceddanne Rafaela The 22-year-old Campbell made the roster after a solid spring in the field, earning him Boston's starting second baseman job. Utility man David Hamilton will back him up, while Romy Gonzalez will be the team's uber-utility guy to start the season. Red Sox manager Alex Cora officially announced Tuesday that Rafael Devers will be his full-time DH this season , while Alex Bregman and his Gold Glove defense will take over at third base. On the pitching front, lefty Brennan Bernardino and Cooper Criswell made the final two spots on the roster. Criswell will be the team's long man out of the pen to start the year. New ace Garrett Crochet, 2024 All-Star Tanner Houck, and newcomer Walker Buehler are slotted to start the first three games of the season, while fill-ins Richard Fitts and Middleboro native Sean Newcomb will round out the Boston rotation. As expected, a number of Boston's starters will begin the season on the Injured List. A lot of roster tinkering will be coming in the near future, as seven players are starting their 2025 season on the IL. Outfielder/DH Masataka Yoshida will begin the year on the 10-Day Injured List as he works his way back from a right shoulder labral repair. He was a DH during the exhibition season but still needs to put in some work in the outfield before returning to the Big Leagues. A trio of starting pitchers are starting on the 15-day IL, but we've known this was coming for a few weeks now. Brayan Bello is on the shelf with a right shoulder strain, Kutter Crawford is sidelined with right patellar tendinopathy, and Lucas Giolito is still on the mend from a left hamstring strain. Bello and Giolito aren't expected to miss much time, but Crawford might be out a while with the knee injury he pitched through for nearly all of the 2024 season. The most surprising name in the bunch is Hendriks, who would be next in line to be Boston's closer should Aroldis Chapman falters early. But Hendriks is on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation. Two lefties ended up on the 60-day IL: Chris Murphy (left UCL surgery) and Zach Penrod (left elbow sprain).

Zack Kelly, Greg Weissert earn spots in Red Sox bullpen
The 30-year-old, whose stuff made a considerable jump entering the 2024 season, feels that work he did this offseason to refine his command paid off throughout the spring. Advertisement 'I feel really good being in the zone,' said Kelly, who had his worst outing of the spring (⅔ of an inning, 3 hits, 2 runs) on Tuesday against the Sultanes just after learning he'd made the team. 'Everything's a work in progress. That doesn't stop now. But I've been in a really good spot in spring training and am looking forward to the season.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Weissert allowed six runs in 8⅔ innings in the Grapefruit League, but his outstanding performance down the stretch in 2024 gave him an inside track to a roster spot. That duo will join Aroldis Chapman — who Cora anointed as the team's primary closer (though one who will see other innings besides the ninth) — as well as Justin Slaten , Garrett Whitlock , Liam Hendriks , and Justin Wilson in the bullpen. The team is still deciding how to fill its final bullpen spot, whether with a long reliever such as Cooper Criswell , a lefthander such as Brennan Bernardino , or someone from outside the organization. As for the rotation, Cora stopped just short of declaring lefthander Sean Newcomb (0.63 ERA, 13 strikeouts and three walks in 14⅓ spring innings) his fifth starter. 'Sean put himself in a position to be the guy,' said Cora. 'We'll get there when we get there. There's a good chance it's going to be him.' Advertisement No sign of long-term deals The Red Sox have defined Kristian Campbell as part of their present, tabbing him for the Opening Day roster. Yet while the team has been and remains interested in the possibility of a long-term deal, Campbell said that talks between the team and his agent never progressed to a point where they landed on his radar. 'I actually don't have anything on that as of right now. I would be open to hearing about [an offer], but I don't have anything on that,' said Campbell. 'I'm mainly just focusing on baseball right now. I've got a lot on my plate. But I literally haven't heard anything about that. 'It's just one day at a time. I'm open to listening if it comes up and I'm informed about it.' Lefthander Garrett Crochet — whose unusual career track as a 'Before Opening Day, I'm not really thinking there's much possibility right now. I'm more so just focused on playing out the season,' said Crochet, who said during camp that he doesn't want to negotiate in-season. 'But the prospect of being here long term is incredibly exciting.' Giving back to Mexican hosts Marcelo Mayer , Jarren Duran , and Brennan Bernardino took part in an MLB-organized 'Play Ball' clinic with kids from Monterrey. 'This meant everything to me,' said Mayer, whose mother was raised in Mexico. 'I love Mexico with all my heart, and it's not every day that we get to be here playing baseball and creating an impact in the community.' A lot of requests for Jarren today! — Red Sox (@RedSox) Bernardino likewise has a special sentiment for Mexico's baseball culture. After being released from affiliated ball in 2019, he spent four seasons pitching in Mexico before returning to the States. Advertisement For that reason, returning to Mexico with big league experience was meaningful. 'It's super special,' said Bernardino. 'There was a point in time where I was trying super-hard to go back and play in the States. But I loved it here and I always told myself, if I wouldn't have gotten back to the States, I still would feel like I've had a successful career being here in Mexico.' Bernardino has a custom practice glove in the colors of the Mexican flag. Casas avoids catastrophe A bad-hop grounder on Monday night nearly proved calamitous for Triston Casas . The first baseman had the ball jump off the turf at Estadio Mobil Super and nearly hit him in the face. He instinctively reached up with his bare (right) hand to grab the ball and protect himself. The ball caromed off the base of his right hand. X-rays were negative, but Casas was held out of Tuesday's final exhibition in Monterrey as a precaution. He's expected to play on Opening Day … Cora said Wilyer Abreu — who was slowed at the start of spring training by a gastrointestinal illness — is '100 percent' ready to play on Opening Day. Infield reserve Romy Gonzalez (oblique) is also likely to be part of the roster to begin the year. Alex Speier can be reached at
