The Red Sox and the Angels will play the middle contest of their three-game series Tuesday night at Fenway Park. Alex Cora will roll out a lineup very similar to the starting nine used Monday when Boston nearly erased a six-run deficit against Los Angeles. The only swap will be Connor Wong replacing Carlos Narváez behind the dish, which means Marcelo Mayer will sit out a second consecutive game after playing eight straight upon his promotion to the big leagues.

Stefon Diggs isn’t unlike certain other players who have latched on with the New England Patriots. Randy Moss faced some off-field troubles before arriving at One Patriot Place, smoothing things out before having a successful stint. Antonio Brown faced tons of issues before, during and after his one-week run with the club. LeGarrette Blount’s second stint only began because he was released as part of his punishment for getting into trouble with former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Le’Veon Bell.

New England Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai suffered a serious-sounding injury at practice on Monday. Tavai, according to multiple reporters who were in attendance, left the session after remaining down for an extended period during team drills. New England’s coaches reportedly shut the music off, while teammates kneeled around him and offered their support. Jabrill Peppers and Mike Onwenu eventually helped him off the field, though the veteran linebacker put minimal pressure on his left leg.
