BOSTON — The Red Sox will be a little light at the catcher position over the next couple weeks. The Red Sox placed left fielder/catcher Blake Swihart (left ankle sprain) and catcher Ryan Hanigan (neck strain) on the 15-day disabled list Sunday ahead of their series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. Both players left Saturday’s game with injuries in a span of under an inning, with Hanigan exiting after the sixth and Swihart leaving in the top of the seventh. Swihart’s ankle, which he injured crashing into the side wall in left field, will be examined Sunday by the Red Sox’s foot specialist, Dr. George Theodore, while Hanigan un...

Spooner played in that game but missed the entirety of the third period with an undisclosed injury. Marchand logged 19:51 of i...
UFC Fight Night New Jersey: Anthony Johnson Ready To Beat Ryan Bader
Whether it’s called a title eliminator or not, when two of the very best in the division are fighting, a win is one step toward the belt and a loss is one step away. And that goes double for this Saturday’s main event on FOX, as No. 4-ranked light heavyweight Ryan Bader is putting his impressive five-fight win streak on the line against destruction artist and No. 2-ranked Anthony “Rumble” Johnson. “If he wins this fight then he gets a title shot and, if I lose, I don’t get a title shot,” Johnson said. “All I know is that I have to go out there and do my thing. That’s what I’ve been
Ryan Hanigan: Joe Kelly Worked Efficiently In Win Over Yankees (Video)
After Friday night’s 19-inning marathon, the Boston Red Sox desperately needed a strong, lengthy outing from starting pitcher Joe Kelly. And Kelly delivered just that. In his 2015 debut, the right-hander pitched seven stellar innings at the Bronx, holding the New York Yankees to one hit and one run while striking out eight and walking two. Kelly, who dealt with biceps soreness in spring training, originally was expected to last just five or six innings, but needed just 93 pitches before departing after seven in Boston’s eventual 8-4 win. Kelly’s battery mate, catcher Ryan Hanigan, observed after the game that the hurler was able to ...
Former Sabre Rob Ray Calls Buffalo’s Lack of Response to Milan Lucic’s Hit on Ryan Miller ‘Very Disappointing’
Rob Ray spent more than 13 seasons with the Buffalo Sabres and knows a thing or two about sticking up for a teammate. So when the Sabres did nothing following Milan Lucic's hit on Ryan Miller, he was very disappointed. Ray, who played with Buffalo from 1989-2003, said the Sabres had the players on the ice who would do something, so it was a bit surprising to see Lucic get let off the hook. And while he would have liked to have seen the Sabres take more initiative, he doesn't expect too much to happen in the way of fights when the teams hook up in Buffalo on Wednesday night. To hear what else the former Sabre had to say, check out
Ryan Lavarnway Says Weight Hasn’t Been Lifted Off Red Sox’ Shoulders Yet, Ready to Do What It Takes to Earn Playoff Berth
Ryan Lavarnway made his first start behind the plate on Tuesday night in Baltimore. Yet he treated the big game as if he was a seasoned veteran. Lavarnway blasted two home runs to help lead the Sox to an 8-7 victory and keep them deadlocked atop the AL wild-card race with the Tampa Bay Rays. The two bombs were the first of his career, and he drove in four RBIs in total. After the game, Lavarnway spoke with NESN's Heidi Watney about his at-bats, as well as a crucial defensive play he made late in the game on what looked like a swinging bunt. He also talked about how important it is for the Sox to come out and keep fighting on
Ryan rallies Falcons, Vick concussed (AP)
ATLANTA (AP)—Michael Vick(notes) and Matt Ryan(notes) met at the center of the field for the coin toss, the former Falcons quarterback embracing the guy who took his place. When it was done, Ryan trotted off the field in triumph, leaving little doubt this is his city now. Vick wasn’t even there to see it. He was back in the locker room, still woozy from a big hit. Ryan tossed a career-high four touchdown passes, shaking off all the hoopla over Vick coming back to face his old team as Philadelphia’s starter, and rallied Atlanta from a 10-point deficit for a 35-31 victory over the Eagles in a Sunday night thriller. “It was a wild one, for sure, but we hung in there,” Ryan said.
