The Los Angeles Dodgers have finally placed over-the-hill outfielder Manny Ramirez on waivers, according to Jon Morosi of FOXsports.com. The move was made Wednesday afternoon.

According to Peter Gammons on Twitter, the Boston Red Sox’ claim on Detroit Tigers rag-armed outfielder Johnny Damon was because they honestly want to make a trade for him. Many thought that it was just to block others from getting him, but apparently they are serious about acquiring him. “Tigers explained to Damon Boston didn’t [...]

Well, isn’t this a shocker. The Boston Red Sox have been brilliant this season in knowing when to bring their injured players back off the DL. Second baseman Dustin Pedroia didn’t sound like someone who was confident in the health of his foot when he came off the disabled list and now we know why. [...]
The Boston Red Sox’ Jacoby Ellsbury should probably be paying rent to the DL since he’s spent so much time there this season. His most recent trip to the ol’ disabled list was his third time this year. And a source tells Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com that Ellsbury has a fractured rib and is “probably” [...]
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. The Boston Red Sox have placed center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury on the disabled list for the third time this season with some form of the same problem. It’s his ribs…again. Ellsbury collided with Texas Rangers pitcher Tommy Hunter on Friday night and was sent back to Boston [...]

The Boston Red Sox have been banged up as much as anyone in MLB this year, if not more so (it’s probably a close race between them and the Philadelphia Phillies). And with Kevin Youkilis now out for the year, the Red Sox have turned to Carlos Delgado for help (sort of). According Foxsports.com’s Ken [...]

The Tampa Bay Rays are in a heated battle with the New York Yankees for first place in the AL East. The last thing they need is to lose one of their serious power hitters. But, that’s what it looks like as the Rays have put Carlos Pena on the DL. “#Rays are playing 1B [...]
The Boston Red Sox were already involved in an uphill battle in the AL East. They are 6.5 games back of the first-place New York Yankees, and the Tampa Bay Rays are just a half a game out themselves. So, when Kevin Youkilis went to the DL, it was pretty bad. And, according to Amalie [...]
The Boston Red Sox got Mike Lowell back today as he was activated from the DL. The bad news is that the team had to place Kevin Youkilis on the DL with what is being reported as a muscle tear at the base of his thumb. “Youk’s injury is a muscle tear of the muscle [...]

Just days after going 5-for-5 with three home runs in a single game, it seems that Boston Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia has a little bit of a busted foot. The Red Sox have placed him on the 15-day Mark Prior List (DL). They are calling it a non-displaced fracture in his left foot. Doctors [...]
Boston Red Sox fans and a lot of fantasy baseball owners are getting pretty frustrated with Jacoby Ellsbury’s ribs. He took a seat earlier this year to heal his ailing midsection and then re-injured himself when he came back. Now, according to SI’s Jon Heyman on Twitter, Ellsbury has a bigger problem and he’s going [...]

The Boston Red Sox have placed OF Jacoby Ellsbury back on the Mark Prior List (DL) with rib-cage pain. The move is retroactive to May 25. So essentially, the Red Sox are saying that his ribs never really healed perfectly before. It remains to be seen if he’ll be ok in two weeks. In the [...]

In Philadelphia, Jayson Werth is viewed as the Most Interesting Man in the World. His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body. He once hit a baseball 615 feet, with his fist. In the minor leagues, he was tossing a no-hitter going into the ninth, only to have it broken up [...]
Current Tampa Bay Rays analyst and former Boston Red Sox manager Kevin Kennedy was one of eight people who helped to disarm a terrorist from blowing up a Delta Airlines flight early Friday morning. A man was threatening to blow up the plane and tried open a cabin door before Kennedy and others said “oh [...]

This is great. Apparently, not everyone is a huge fan of New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox series. Especially the umpires. “They’re the two clubs that don’t try to pick up the pace,” said West, chief of the umpiring crew that worked the three-game series in Boston. “They’re two of the best teams in [...]
