Boston Red Sox left fielder Jarren Duran was ejected in the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants after he argued a tag call at second base that had been upheld following a replay review. Duran singled to right field and was out at second on a throw by Mike Yastrzemski to shortstop Willy Adames. The Red Sox challenged the call, which was confirmed.

Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow might have his position threatened by other team employees in the future, according to reports.

The San Francisco Giants shocked the baseball world when they pulled off the blockbuster trade to land Rafael Devers. In desperate need of more consistent offense, the Giants made their splash that gives them a superstar for the foreseeable future. Because of that, it's largely expected that San Francisco won't do much ahead of the deadline. "The New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants are keeping a close eye on versatile Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who should be available at the trade deadline," the insider wrote.

All signs are pointing to the Baltimore Orioles selling before the deadline. The latest was Ramon Urias. In a piece for The Athletic, insiders Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon listed the utility man as someone the San Francisco Giants could go after.

Red Sox right-hander Richard Fitts is on his way to join the club in San Francisco, but that doesn't mean he's. a lock to be activated in the coming days. Fitts, who has been pitching at Triple-A Worcester, will join Boston's taxi squad on an “if needed” basis, sources said Sunday. The Red Sox are bringing him to the West Coast as insurance because there appears to be a pitcher on the roster who is a candidate to be placed on the injured list. Fitts, 25, has a 4.71 ERA in five starts (21 innings) in the majors this year.

The San Francisco Giants had high expectations for star shortstop Willy Adames after they signed him in free agency this past winter. It is a disappointing development after Adames put together a career year in 2024, launching 32 home runs with 33 doubles and 112 RBI, cementing his status as one of the most productive offensive shortstops in the league.

The Yankees and Giants are both keeping an eye on a key Pirates veteran as a potential target for a trade.

The New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants both appear to be rolling toward the playoffs with plenty of baseball left to play this season, but there is always room for improvement and that is no different with these two. As the trade deadline continues to get closer and closer, both teams could be looking for upgrades at certain spots. The Pittsburgh Pirates are one of those squads, and infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is one of the names that could be on the way out. The Yankees and Giants are two teams that could be in the market for Kiner-Falefa, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Calvin Mitchell was once a top-100 prospect in baseball according to Baseball Prospectus. But the San Francisco Giants don't see a reason to keep him around anymore after what has disappointingly turned into a journeyman career. The Giants didn't even start the season with Mitchell. The White Sox had released him in April, and that's when San Francisco picked him up. But Mitchell hasn't hit at all in in the minor leagues this year, and so now he's a free agent. At 26 years old, the outfielder could still find another team interested in him. He was the 50th overall pick in 2017, and he put up good minor league numbers in the early going.

San Francisco Giants reliever Sean Hjelle has been accused of abuse by his wife, and MLB is now investigating the allegations, according to a statement the Giants put out Saturday.

For the first time since he was traded to the Boston Red Sox, and optioned to Triple-A Worcester, Kyle Harrison tossed a baseball while wearing a Worcester uniform.

Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six appearances this season.

Devers hasn't said much since the Red Sox traded him, but may have spoken with his bat on Saturday.

The MLB offers players the chance to take paternity leave for up to three games and that is what San Francisco Giants PitcherJustin Verlander will be doing. Yahoo reporter Rachel Dillin broke the news that his family just grew to four as his wife Kate Upton just had their second child, a baby boy, Bellamy Brooks. The Giants are currently in a series with the Boston Red Sox and the earliest Verlander could be expected to return to the pitching staff is against a 30-44 Miami Marlins team.

The Boston Red Sox and Alex Cora experienced another setback in Tanner Houck's injury recover that will have him out for even longer.

Landen Roupp vs. Brayan Bello.

The San Francisco Giants said Major League Baseball is looking into allegations of abuse made by the wife of reliever Sean Hjelle. Caroline Hjelle made a post on TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children with a caption that said: "When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this (video was taken) once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone." The Giants said in a statement Saturday that they are "aware of these serious allegations" and that MLB is handling it.

Things got heated between the Red Sox and Giants after the final out Friday night. Aroldis Chapman offered his version of the confrontation.

The back of Barry Bonds' baseball card is full of stats that absolutely boggle the mind. But there's one statistic that you wouldn't find there that might be the craziest of them all. It involves the amount of times Bonds was intentionally walked with first base occupied. Usually, an opponent will use an intentional walk when that base is open. But with Bonds, it didn't matter. The San Francisco Giants slugger put so much fear into the opposition's minds that it made sense to put him on anyway. Bonds was intentionally walked 81 times in his career with first-base occupied, by far the most since 1955, when intentional walks were officially tracked.
