Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman is day-to-day after tweaking right ankle
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman tweaked his right ankle this week and is day-to-day. It's the same ankle that landed Edman on the injured list a month ago after he hurt it in a game against Miami. Advertisement Edman wasn't in the starting lineup for the second straight day Wednesday against the New York Mets. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning Tuesday night. 'The ankle got a little sore,' manager Dave Roberts said. 'We want to make sure that we're doing everything we can so it doesn't get worse.' Roberts said Edman's sore ankle is affecting his lateral movement and it could be a few days before the team makes any decision about a possible move to the injured list. Edman was chosen MVP of the 2024 National League Championship Series, when he had 11 hits and drove in 11 runs as the Dodgers beat the Mets in six games to reach the World Series. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

For once the Red Sox flip the script, but will it mean better days ahead?
Ceddanne Rafaela gets set to cross home plate and celebrate with his waiting teammates after hitting a two-run homer in the ninth to beat the Angles. Heather Diehl/For the Globe Discounting inside-the-park homers, it was the shortest home run in the majors this season and the shortest hit by a Red Sox player at Fenway Park since 2015 when Statcast started providing accurate measurements. Advertisement It also was the shortest walkoff home run in the majors since 2015 according to MLB research guru Sarah Langs. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'I couldn't see where it landed from where I was,' said Trevor Story, who was on deck. 'But then you heard the crowd reacting. What a great feeling.' The Sox trailed 4-0, 7-5, 8-7, and 9-8 but came back each time. Alex Cora used six of his eight relievers and four of his five bench players to chase down the Angels. Cora was morose after When Advertisement Then the comeback gained momentum as the bullpen allowed two runs over 7⅓ innings and gave Rafaela a chance to use Fenway to his advantage. Now the Sox have a day off before opening a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday night in the Bronx. Walker Buehler and The Sox need the day to reset their bullpen and their emotions. 'Maybe this game will get us going,' Romy Gonzalez said over the din of music playing in the clubhouse. Until one good victory leads to another and another after that, these Red Sox are not to be trusted. But it's worth remembering that the Mets were 28-36 after 64 games last season and finished the season in the National League Championship Series. Or that the Tigers were 31-33, then beat the Astros in the wild card before losing a five-game Division Series against the Guardians. The Padres were 32-32 and went on to nearly topple the Dodgers in the Division Series. That the Red Sox are 6-17 in games decided by one run can be viewed as their not being a team smart enough or resourceful enough to win close game. But it also means they're in close games. The Sox have actually outscored their opponents by 13 runs. Advertisement 'That's the frustrating part,' Story said. 'We've been in so many of those games we lost. If half of those go our way, we're in a much better spot. 'We need to play a little better, play a little cleaner and it'll start to go our way. We have to believe that.' The alternative is what, cash in the season before Father's Day and wait to see who gets traded and if Cora gets fired? There's no fun in that. 'To say that we needed this one is an understatement,' said Cora, whose mood had brightened considerably before the game. 'A lot of close games and they go the other way … It's the same game; it's the same script. Hopefully we can change it now.' Peter Abraham can be reached at

Francisco Lindor Had Shohei Ohtani Message After Dodgers' Loss to Mets
Francisco Lindor Had Shohei Ohtani Message After Dodgers' Loss to Mets originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets began a four-game series on Monday night in LA. This is a rematch of the 2024 National League Championship Series that Los Angeles won in six games. Going on to win the World Series, the Dodgers added even more talent in the offseason. Advertisement Also retooling this past winter, headlined by the historic signing of Juan Soto, New York continued to build around its core that features Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and other integral pieces. This series also features the top-two National League MVP vote getters from last season. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani won the award unanimously, with Lindor coming in second place. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (12) and Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani (17) © Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Both Ohtani and Lindor homered in Monday's series opener. Lindor led off the game with his home run, while Ohtani left the yard in the seventh inning. Both homers were impressive, with Ohtani's traveling 424 feet and Lindor's traveling 417 feet from home. Advertisement Speaking with reporters after the game, Lindor mentioned the distance on Ohtani's home run, joking it must have went 40 feet further than his. 'I hit it with everything I had,' Lindor said of his leadoff blast. 'Not as far as Ohtani. Ohtani's was probably 40 feet further than mine. But they count the same.' As it turns out, Ohtani's went just seven feet further, and both were solo shots. Both players added RBIs later in the game, but it was Lindor's Mets who edged out Ohtani's Dodgers 4-3 in extra innings to take the first game of this series.
