BOSTON -- Around this time last season, there was question as to whether Tanner Houck would remain in the rotation or rejoin the bullpen, where he spent most of 2022. One year later, Houck has left no room to question where he belongs on this staff. Instead, he’s cemented himself

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The only thing the ultra-fast Jarren Duran hadn’t done thus far in his career was steal home. That changed at an opportune time on Tuesday night as the electrifying leadoff man was on the front end of a double steal that stood out as the highlight

ST. LOUIS -- Red Sox star slugger Rafael Devers has turned this week into his personal home run derby. In Sunday's 11-3 series finale win over St. Louis, Devers tied a club record by going deep for the fifth straight game. The accomplishment was done six previous times in club
