Red Sox place IF Marcelo Mayer (wrist) on IL, recall David Hamilton
July 25 - Boston Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday, retroactive to Thursday, as the infielder suffered a right wrist sprain. Infielder David Hamilton, who has played 62 games for the Red Sox in 2025, was recalled from Triple-A Worcester. Before Boston opened a three-game home series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, manager Alex Cora told reporters that Ceddanne Rafaela would see a lot of action at second base. Rafaela has been an outstanding defensive center fielder for Boston in 2025 and is hitting .271 with 14 home runs and 48 RBIs. Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu will comprise the outfield on most nights, according to Cora. Mayer made his major league debut vs. Baltimore on May 24 and cracked his first home run at Yankee Stadium on June 6. Through 44 games, he was slashing .228/.272/.402 with four home runs and 10 RBIs. Hamilton has spent three years in Boston, playing a career-high 98 games in 2024. This season, he is slashing .179/.229/.276 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in the major leagues. --Field Level Media

Red Sox rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer goes on 10-day IL with right wrist sprain
Rookie infielder Marcelo Mayer was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain by the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Mayer, 22, sustained the injury in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He drew a two-out walk against Jesús Luzardo in the fifth inning, but hurt his wrist while swinging and missing at a slider during the at-bat. He didn't come out of the game immediately, running the bases and coming around to score on a Romy González grand slam. But Abraham Toro took over at third base in the bottom of the inning. 'I just felt a little tight grab in my wrist when I took a swing in my second at-bat,' Mayer told MassLive's Chris Cotillo afterward. 'I knew I really couldn't do anything after that so I just called it.' A natural shortstop, Mayer has mostly played third base while Alex Bregman was on the IL with a right quad strain. He's also played at second base and made a couple of appearances at shortstop during his 44 games. Mayer was Boston's 2021 first-round pick (No. 4 overall) and was called up on May 25 when Bregman went on the IL. Ranked as the Red Sox's No. 3 prospect before the season by Mayer has struggled with his hitting as a rookie, batting .228/.272/.402 with eight doubles, four home runs and 10 RBI in 136 plate appearances. Infielder David Hamilton was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to take Mayer's spot on the active roster. He was on the major league roster until Bregman was activated from the IL on July 11. Hamilton's best asset is his speed with 15 stolen bases in 18 attempts. He batted .179/.229/.276 in 133 plate appearances before being demoted. Bregman (.290 avg., .899 OPS) will start at third base for the Red Sox on Friday's series opener versus the Los Angeles Dodgers with Ceddanne Rafaela (.270 avg., .780 OPS) playing at second base. Boston is currently third in the AL East at 55-49, 6.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays (61-42) and two games behind the second-place New York Yankees (56-46).

A new whisky bottling venture has outlined bold plans for expansion including a 'boutique distillery' close to the home of golf after scoring a major win with its first collaboration. Patron Saint, which has been set up near St Andrews in Fife, is promising to offer 'something truly different' in the world of Scotch whisky and premium spirits in general. Despite a challenging global backdrop for the drinks sector, its founders believe there is 'plenty of opportunity' as consumers move to drinking 'less but better'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The fledgling venture's first collaboration has been as the official supplier for the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia this year. David Hamilton, Campbell Archibald and Aidan Muir of Patron Saint. Patron Saint is led by David Hamilton, a serial entrepreneur and philanthropist across a range of local enterprises; Campbell Archibald, founder of Angus Alchemy; Michael Johnston, developer and owner of Avalon Business Park; and Aidan Muir, described as a 'passionate whisky industry professional'. As the business grows, the founders plan to expand their team, with the aim of creating ten full-time equivalent jobs by 2027. There is also the potential for a small boutique distillery, which would involve a multi-million-pound investment. The firm pointed to an increasing number of 'exciting innovative new distilleries' and increases in whisky production levels over the past few years, noting that it was well placed to take advantage of this 'high end growth opportunity'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It said: 'While Fife and Tayside are already home to several outstanding new distilleries, Patron Saint sets itself apart as primarily a curator and developer of exceptional whisky originally initiated by others. As an independent bottler, the company is uniquely positioned to blend, finish and release special expressions from a variety of sources. 'The current collaboration whisky with the British and Irish Lions and Fife in Independent Bottlers is a great example of collaboration across six distilleries and producers.' The plans envisage a small-scale distillery onsite within the next two years, producing around five casks per week. Patron Saint said those micro-batches would reflect the 'same care, quality and originality that defines the brand'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad An initial investment will be in the region of £3 million for a mixture of 'state of the art' cask management systems, whisky stock, bottling and technical equipment. Future distillery investment is likely to be of a similar level. The company's founders noted: 'A whisky experience unlike any other is what Patron Saint aims to offer visitors. Something personal and immersive and far beyond the standard tour. With exclusive access, guided tastings and a behind the scenes look at the craft, the experience will be tailored for the curious, the connoisseur, and those looking for something truly special. 'We hope to take the whisky visitor experience to a new level for whisky lovers. We prefer to think of it as a bespoke, memorable journey for the discerning and adventurous.

NHS board warned of potential legal action in delays row
Information Commissioner David Hamilton wrote: 'I remain concerned with the performance figures to date. NHS Forth Valley's latest statistics for June 2025 indicate that 39% of all initial responses are late.' 'I am equally concerned with NHS Forth Valley's performance in relation to responding to reviews on time.' Under Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation, public authorities are required to provide requested information, such as internal documents or copies of emails, to interested parties within 20 working days. The Commissioner went on to tell the NHS board it must reply to 80% of requests within the statutory timeframe by September, and more than 90% by December. NHS Forth Valley includes the area surrounding Stirling. (Image: Stirling Council) Mr Hamilton added: 'If NHS Forth Valley fails to reach these targets in the timeframe stipulated, I will take enforcement action. 'If an authority fails to comply with an enforcement notice, I may certify to the Court of Session that the authority has failed to comply. "This is a highly unusual step, and one that we have never had to resort to in the context of intervention work, but I will have no hesitation to issue an Enforcement Notice if I do not see a significant improvement in FOI performance in the timeframes stipulated.' The Commissioner had met with NHS Forth Valley chief executive Ross McGuffie in March, but escalated his intervention after 'significant' improvement was not observed. Mr Hamilton noted: 'I hope this serves as the wake-up call that NHS Forth Valley needs. Their FOI response times over the last 18 months have been terrible. 'There can of course be reasons for glitches in performance, but this has been far too prolonged. It is up to the Board to grasp the issues and to properly resource and support its staff in fulfilling these statutory duties.'

After an appeal by The Herald and other newspapers, Mr Hamilton rejected the board's claims that revealing the figure, £220,500, could aid Ms Peggie's legal team and endanger staff. He subsequently ordered the authority to 'to carry out adequate, proportionate searches" and respond to requesters within one week. The board quietly published the sum on its website last Monday. NHS Forth Valley has been contacted for comment.
