Red Sox trade Massachusetts native Sean Newcomb to Athletics
Sean Newcomb's run with his hometown Red Sox has come to an end. Newcomb was traded by Boston to the Oakland Athletics for cash considerations, the team announced Tuesday. The 31-year-old Newcomb was designated for assignment following Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, after he gave up a run in his inning of relief against the Baltimore Orioles. Boston won the game, 6-5, but Newcomb was DFA'd to make room for righty reliever Luis Guerrero from Triple-A Worcester. He's now heading to the A's, which ends what was once a dream come true for Newcomb, who was born in Brockton and was a star at Middleborough High School. Sean Newcomb with Boston Red Sox Newcomb signed with the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee in January, and pitched well enough throughout Spring Training to earn a spot on the team. He began the season in Boston's starting rotation out of necessity, as the team dealt with season-opening injuries to starters Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito. The lefty started five games for the Red Sox and went 0-3 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.925 WHIP in those outings. Newcomb went five innings just once in those starts, and was then sent to the bullpen where he took over as Boston's long reliever, usually in mop-up duty. Newcomb made seven appearances out of the Boston bullpen and had a 3.38 ERA and 1.554 WHIP over 18.2 innings of work. Overall, he finished with an 0-4 record, a 3.95 ERA, and a 1.76 WHIP over his 12 games for the Red Sox. Newcomb now heads back to the Athletics, whom he played for in 2023 and 2024. The southpaw was drafted 15th overall by the Los Angeles Angels in 2014, and has pitched in 187 career games at the Major League level for the Atlanta Braves (2017-22), Chicago Cubs (2022), Athletics, and Red Sox.

A historic hole-in-one: Brockton native aces a hole at West Bridgewater Country Club
In golf, there's shots that just keep players coming back. At West Bridgewater Country Club on Wednesday, Brockton's Jared Bartelamia hit his first hole-in-one on the par-3, 150-yard 17th hole. He recorded the ace while playing in his Wednesday golf league. According to Jeff Wood, who runs the league, he became just the second person to hit a hole-in-one in its 35-year history. Advertisement Bartelamia said he picked up the sport just five years ago. "I never thought in a million years I'd even see one, let alone hit one myself," Bartelamia said. Jared Bartelamia goes to grab his ball after recording a hole-in-one on the par 3 17th hole at West Bridgewater Country Club during his league play on Wednesday, May 21. Bartelamia said his club of choice for the hole was a 9 iron. His shot landed just in front of the hole and rolled left to right before disappearing into the cup. Bartelamia threw his hands and club in the air before sprinting onto the green. He had three witnesses playing with him, good friends JJ Deligolia, Ryan Hennessey and Mitch Barney. Watching the flight of the ball, the group of four all thought it had a chance to find the hole.

Scoring aces runs in the family. According to Bartelamia, his uncle, Frank Daxberger hit two hole-in-ones exactly a year a part from each other at D.W Field Golf Course in Brockton. Luckily for Bartelamia, it was cloudy and rainy by the time he got back to the clubhouse, so there weren't too many people he had to buy a round of drinks for after nailing the shot. "My tab wasn't too crazy," Bartelamia joked. This article originally appeared on The Enterprise: Brockton's Jared Baterlamia sinks hole-in-one at West Bridgewater CC
