The Red Sox’s 2024 second-rounder has had a brilliant season, and in a week in which veteran Walker Buehler has been moved to the bullpen, Tolle’s dominance could be well-timed.

A squirrel ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium and caused a brief delay during the game between New York and Boston.

One of the first stories I wrote for the Globe was about the Red Sox giving a tryout to a mysterious lefthanded fireballer from Cuba named Aroldis Chapman in 2009. Chapman was 21 at the time and had established residence in Andorra after defecting from Cuba during a tournament in the Netherlands.
