BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Joe Flacco didn’t think coming back to Cleveland was going to be a possibility at the start of free agency.
Perhaps that is why Flacco has learned during his 17 years in the NFL to not expect anything until a contact is signed.

BOSTON — As the Red Sox look to clinch a series win over the Mariners on Wednesday night, they’ll do with their hot rookie hitter out of the lineup.

Kristian Campbell is getting a rare day off, marking just the third time he’s out of Boston’s lineup so far this season. In his place, Romy Gonzalez will play second base and bat seventh. Blake Sabol is the starting catcher with Carlos Narvárez off ahead of a day game Thursday. Manager Alex Cora is using Wilyer Abreu in the cleanup spot and Trevor Story is hitting fifth against righty Emerson Hancock.
