Red Sox Pitcher Steven Wright Suspended 80 Games After Testing Positive For PEDs
Steven Wright’s comeback trail just got a lot longer. The Boston Red Sox pitcher on Wednesday was suspended 80 games after testing positive for the performance-enhancing substance Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 2 (GHRP-2). If the Red Sox return to the postseason, they won’t have Wright at their disposal, as he’s now ineligible for the playoffs. In a statement, Wright didn’t question the test, but he’s unsure what tripped the positive test. “I was notified by MLB that I failed a test under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program during this past offseason,” Wright said in a statement. “Although I do not dispute the valid...

Patriots’ Patrick Chung Shares Positive Update After Undergoing Surgery
It hasn’t been all partying for one Patriot in the week after New England’s Super Bowl LIII victory. Patrick Chung had some business to take care of following his team’s win over the Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The veteran safety sustained a broken forearm early in the third quarter and was forced to watch the bulk of the second half on the sidelines. Chung, who also will undergo a procedure on his shoulder later this offseason, went through surgery Thursday to repair his forearm. And judging from his latest Instagram post, it sounds like everything went well.
Matt Grzelcyk Prepared To Make Positive Impact On Ice For Bruins
Matt Grzelcyk certainly made a good impression on the Boston Bruins after he got recalled from Providence last November. The B’s defenseman, who paired nicely with Kevan Miller last season, averaged 16:44 of ice time with 15 points in the 2017-18 season with Boston. And after the team acquired left-shot defender Nick Holden, Grzelcyk seemed to use that as motivation to better his game. It paid off for the Charlestown, Mass native, as he inked a two-year, $ 1.4 million deal in June to remain with the Bruins. However, Boston made a significant move during this offseason when it signed unrestricted free agent John Moore to a five-year contract, making him... NESN.com

2018 Team Presentation: Team Suzuki Ecstar
Shinichi Sahara, the Hamamatsu factory’s Project Leader, echoes that positivity. “Last season was not the best for Suzuki interests because of different circumstances, even though we were able to finish the year with some good results in the Top 5,” says Sahara-san. “We struggled in some areas last season, especially with the engine, but we worked really hard to overcome this issue and finally with some new adjustments we were able to concentrate on other matters, such as the chassis, to find out how to improve. It was not easy considering we were blocked by the engine regulations. Fortunately, this season is about to start and we can have a different package and we think that we will be more
