BOSTON –– Just when Mauro Gomez finished processing his demotion, the slugger was recalled. Before Wednesday's game, the Red Sox placed designated hitter David Ortiz on 15-day disabled list and promoted Gomez. It came just four days after the team optioned Gomez to Pawtucket and activated Clay Buchholz. In between his stints, Gomez managed to play one game in Triple-A, where he went 3-for-4 with one home run. During his last stint with the Red Sox, Gomez keyed the offense, collecting eight hits and three RBIs in six games. "I wasn't surprised, fortunately I've done pretty well down [in Pawtucket],"...

During the All-Star break, many Red Sox players and personnel took the opportunity to travel –– short and long distances. Take rookie third baseman Will Middlebrooks.

Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz expects to have results of an MRI exam on his injured right Achilles before Tuesday's game against the White Sox. The other answers -- such as how long he might be out of action -- aren't quite as certain.

With Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford returning to the Red Sox lineup recently, there will certainly be more speed. Both of them make a living stealing bases and causing havoc on the basepaths. The dynamic duo has been tearing it up at the top of the order with Dustin Pedrioa out of the lineup, but with Pedroia set to return soon, they could shake things up. As long as he stays...

David Ortiz's heel hurts -- but how much will it hurt the Red Sox over the next few weeks? The Red Sox entered Thursday's tilt with the Chicago White Sox with MLB's top offense, averaging 5.1 runs per game in 92 games and so far, the one constant in that lineup has been Ortiz, who leads the team in all major offensive categories. Even though Ortiz went down with a heel...

One of the quieter moves made by Ben Cherington over the offseason was to snag outfielder Cody Ross away from San Francisco (where he won a championship in 2010), and then slide him into an outfield already brimming with potential. Ross had shown flashes of high-caliber offensive play and he was always an above average [...]

The Red Sox have their work cut out for them, but they can't fall victim to keeping a close tabs on the standings. Simply put, the Sox are at the point of the season where they just have to worry about winning every inning, every game and every series.

Carl Crawford has only played in two games this year, but he's already making his impact felt. The lefty continued his hot start to 2012 on Tuesday night, going 3-for-4 with three stolen bases and looking pretty great jetting around the basepaths. The only thing that might have made things better would have been a Red Sox victory. Kevin Youkilis put an end to that thinking, however...
