Alex Cora gives Boston Red Sox injury, starting rotation updates

-

CLEVELAND — Lucas Giolito (left hamstring strain) remains on track to make his Red Sox debut Wednesday in Toronto, manager Alex Cora said Sunday.

Garrett Crochet will start the series opener Tuesday. Cora said Tanner Houck is in line to start Thursday after he and Walker Buehler started the two doubleheader games here Saturday.

Buehler, therefore, should start Friday when the Red Sox return home to Boston to play the Twins.

Giolito posted a 5.19 ERA in five rehab starts between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. But Cora said the veteran righty is “healthy and ready."

Some injury updates:

~ Starter Kutter Crawford (right patellar tendinopathy) flew to Fort Myers on Thursday to resume his rehab there. He will throw one more bullpen session “and then it’s (a) live BP at the end of next week,” Cora said.

~ Starter Richard Fitts (pectoral strain) is playing catch. “I think it’s up to 120 (feet),” Alex Cora said.

~ Outfielder Masataka Yoshida (offseason right shoulder labral repair) is still not close to a rehab assignment, Cora said. “Just taking at-bats down there (Fort Myers) and his throwing program.”

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Report: Florida basketball to have one of the ‘top basketball NIL budgets in the SEC’

-
The Florida basketball program has flourished under head coach Todd Golden , with his emphasis on leveraging the transfer portal playing a key role in their success. The team finished the season with an incredible 30-4 record and won the SEC Tournament, a testament to Golden's ability to build a winning roster through experienced transfers. Every starter besides Alex Condon was a transfer portal acquisition for Golden and the Gators. Walter Clayton Jr. transferred from Iona, Will Richard came from Belmont, Alijah Martin transferred from Florida Atlantic University and Rueben Chinyelu was a former Washington State Cougar. Florida remains well-positioned to attract top-tier transfers, thanks in large part to its significant financial backing in Name, Image and Likeness deals. According to Joe Tipton, a national basketball reporter for On3, the Gators' NIL budget will be ranked among the highest in the SEC. View this post on Instagram A ...
