With the Red Sox needing to clear a spot on the 25-man roster for newly acquired Adam LaRoche, Mark Kotsay is the odd man out.

If he is not claimed within 48 hours, the club can either release him outright or send him to the minor leagues.

| On June 25, Daniel Bard allowed two runs on two hits and two walks to the Washington Nationals. Afterwards, in the visiting clubhouse at Nationals Park, he diagnosed why. “I overthrew my stuff a little, trying to make my stuff a little better than it is,” Bard said. “Which, there’s no need to do that.”

| | The baseball season’s first half is in the books, and though it hasn’t been a perfect 88 games here in the Hub, there isn’t much for Red Sox Nation to complain about.
The Sawx are in first place with their 53-34 record, three games up on the hated Yankees. Six members of the Sox were selected as All-Stars, including Tim Wakefield who will be making his first appearance...

How valuable is Daniel Bard?

| The legend of Daniel Bard is already growing -- and fast.
You all know him. He's the kid with the 100 mile-per-hour heater. He's got that filthy slider. And you might remember when he made that guy named Ryan Howard look foolish in an at-bat in mid-June.
So he's good, we get that. But really, how valuable is that million dollar arm?
The Boston Herald wrote a piece today on how Hall of...

| Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell is confident that his time on the disabled list is going to lead to good results once he returns to the roster on July 17, the first game after the All-Star break.
"I'm really looking forward to a good second half," said Lowell. "I think this was more of a precautionary DL than a necessary DL, but under the circumstances, I think it's going...

| The Red Sox have formulated a rehab plan for Daisuke Matsuzaka that will have the right-hander flying to Fort Myers, Fla., on Monday.
"We're going to really try to strengthen the shoulder and take advantage of the time while he's down there to work on the whole body," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "We'd be kind of silly not to. That will start on Monday. He's going...

| According to certain members of the media halfway around the world from Fenway Park, the verdict is that there’s still plenty of love for Daisuke Matsuzaka despite his disastrous start to 2009 in a Red Sox uniform.
Back in Japan, word on the street is that the two-time World Baseball Classic MVP can do no wrong. He’s served his country honorably — twice — and...

| John Smoltz wants a mulligan. In his much anticipated debut as a member of the Boston Red Sox, Smoltz stumbled out of the starting gate. He hit the second batter he faced and gave up four runs in the first inning. But after that less-than-spectacular inning, Smoltz was able to settle down, pitching four more frames and giving up one run on three hits with four strike outs after the first....
