Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was scratched from Sunday night’s lineup against the Boston Red Sox due to concussion-like symptoms. Seager had already been day-to-day after a home-plate collision earlier in the week.

Sunday night gives baseball a clean primetime window at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox suddenly have a home crowd again. Boston enters chasing a sweep after 10-1 and 6-3 wins over Texas, its first home series win since April. That is a modest achievement with a 29-39 record, but the mood shifted quickly. Ceddanne […]

The Cubs and Giants close the night at Oracle Park with two teams carrying very different kinds of noise. Chicago arrives from Colorado after a 9-3 win, but that box score came after a rough month. The Cubs are 8-22 over their last 30 games and still trying to steady the season. San Francisco had […]

The Vampire Lestat opened with the exact kind of premiere that makes a title change feel useful. AMC’s Anne Rice series came back as a tour documentary, breakup album, vampire grievance machine, and cursed rock show. Lestat de Lioncourt read Daniel Molloy’s bestseller and chose the funniest possible rebuttal: becoming louder than the book. Episode […]

The Rays arrive in Anaheim carrying the American League’s best record, a Boston sweep, and a six-game Southern California trip.

The Angels sit at 27-42, though the last week has carried more life than […]

The Cardinals reach Target Field with heat in the bats and an uncomfortable pitcher waiting for them. St. Louis is 37-29, 18-13 on the road, and one night removed from a snapped six-game winning streak. Minnesota is 31-39 after losing 11 of 15, including Thursday’s 11-0 beating against Detroit. The Twins allowed six homers, made […]

Texas arrives at Fenway Park carrying the kind of shape Boston keeps chasing. The Rangers are 34-34 after winning nine of 12, reaching .500, and taking four straight series. The Red Sox are 27-39, 10-21 at Fenway, and sliding again after a 1-4 road trip. That creates a strange pricing problem. Boston has the better […]

Detroit comes into Progressive Field with a losing record and the better current pulse. The Tigers are still 29-40, while Cleveland sits 37-33, but June has changed the temperature. Detroit has won seven of nine and just closed Minnesota with an 11-0 rout built around six homers. Cleveland arrives with four straight losses after getting […]
