Xander Bogaerts will miss 10 to 14 days with an ankle injury, while Boston has assigned Drew Pomeranz to pitch in the Sea Dogs’ home opener Friday.

Boston increases its winning streak to eight by rallying past Tampa Bay, 8-7.

Blake Swihart can play a lot of positions for the Red Sox, but getting into games is a challenge.

Xander Bogaerts had six RBI and hits the first Red Sox grand slam since 2016 while J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers also homer.

The Portland Sea Dogs’ third baseman tested positive for a steroid, according to the MLB commisioner’s office.

Manager Alex Cora says he doesn’t let baseball consume him, and the lack of tension is reflected in his players.

Bobby Poyner, who had an 0.94 ERA last year with the Sea Dogs, collects his first big league win.
