With days off planned, Yankees practicing caution with Aaron Judge

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:09:23 GMT

BALTIMORE — Usually, it’s opponents that are careful with Aaron Judge.But with the slugger back from a torn toe ligament that’s not 100% healed, he and the Yankees know they need to proceed with caution. That’s why, as of Saturday night, Aaron Boone favored resting Judge for Sunday’s rubber match against the division-leading Orioles.“I don’t know yet,” Boone said when asked if Judge would play Sunday. “Right now, I’m leaning towards no, but we’ll see.”The Yankees activated Judge on Friday and had him DH. He walked three times in a losing effort before playing right field, recording three hits and crushing a 442-foot home run in Saturday’s 8-3 win. With the Yankees in last place and 3.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot, their lineup looked reenergized with Judge in it, thus prompting follow-ups to Boone’s already-stated, probable plan to give the captain a day off this weekend.That plan has been ...

Wally Seaver HS Invitational: Waltham falls to Rhode Island team in final

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:09:23 GMT

STOUGHTON – When Wally Seaver passed away about 11 years ago, he had already left the Massachusetts basketball world a better place. During his courageous bout with ALS, his son Paul and the rest of his family decided to dedicate a hoops tournament in his honor, and the legend himself was able to witness the loving fruits of their labor first come to fruition during its initial running.One would have to think he is looking down proudly on just how vast the foundation has grown. The 12th annual Wally Seaver HS Invitational came to its conclusion Sunday, and a case could be made it was one of the greatest installments. During a two-day competition split between two facilities, upwards of 130 schools from around the Northeast region took part, all looking to play the sport they truly love for a greater cause.“This is near and dear to Paul (Seaver),” said fellow Wally Seaver Invitational founder Greg Lewis. “As his wife would tell you, Paul’s job now is to work with ALS associations.

FOXBORO – Leave it to a good cause to produce a poetic victory.With another showing of growth and evolution since the original Wally Seaver HS Invitational boasted 16 basketball teams in the spirit of fundraising to fight ALS, the 12th annual edition wrapped up Sunday night having hosted over 120 teams from six different states between two facilities. But as the level of competition raised to an all-time high with more juggernaut programs joining in, it was a program that’s just one of four to play in all 12 invitationals that would win the title in this year’s top bracket.Behind 17 points from Boston Herald All-Scholastic Sean O’Leary, the Franklin boys surged past newcomer North Andover to win its first Blue Division title, 62-55, at Mass Premier Courts.Considering Seaver coached the Panthers for a decade in the 1990s before moving on to other opportunities, and eventually passing from ALS, it was only fitting the Franklin junior varsity team won the Gold Division.“It’s real...
