The World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers have turned into a .500 team recently, but a trade with the Red Sox could solidify one big aspect of their game.

The Cincinnati Reds added some pitching depth on Saturday. They announced a trade with the Boston Red Sox to acquire right-handed pitcher Brian Van Belle. Cash considerations go back to Boston in the deal.

The Boston Red Sox had high hopes for the 2025 season after adding Garrett Crochet and Alex Bregman over the winter. However, injuries and poor play have derailed those hopes. After games on May 11, the Sox find themselves nine games out of first place and in fourth place of arguably the toughest division in MLB.

The Yankees have now dropped four of five games this season against the Red Sox and are 8-10 overall in the American League East.

BOSTON — Carlos Narváez hit a walk-off RBI single off the wall in the 10th inning after Aaron Judge hit a tying solo home run in the ninth and the Boston Red Sox rallied to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on Friday night. Ceddanne Rafaela added an RBI.

Warren held Boston scoreless through four innings, then surrendered a home run to 22-year-old Marcelo Mayer to lead off the fifth. It was the first career homer for Mayer, one of baseball’s premier prospects, in his 10th MLB game.
