I hope you’re not tired of reading about Chris Sale’s stellar start to his Red Sox career. I know I’m not. (Cam Ellis; BP Boston)

Dustin Pedroia wasn’t in the lineup on Tuesday but he has been hitting the ball in the air more often this season. So have a number of other players. Travis Sawchik takes a look at some of them. (Travis Sawchik; Fangraphs)

The Red Sox are slowing down David Price’s recovery in the hopes of building more strength in the southpaw’s arm. (Jason Mastrodonato; Boston Herald)

In the age of advanced sabermetrics, the win has largely faded, but that doesn’t mean Brian Johnson’s first career victory doesn’t mean something. (Scott Lauber; ESPN)

Who doesn’t love a minor league dinger? How about TWO?! (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

In his return from the DL, former first round pick Michael Chavis banged out two hits. (Ryan Hannable; WEEI)
