When it comes to Will Campbell, most of the conversation has revolved around his arm length. Or lack of such.
That’s been a source of great debate regarding the Patriots first round pick, who was taken fourth overall.

Once you get past the arms, however, there’s so much more to learn about the Patriots rookie left tackle.
One Campbell trait that needs no scrutiny?
His ability to to lead and set the desired culture.

While rookies typically don’t feel comfortable enough in the early going to assert themselves, Campbell isn’t the type to wait for the timing to be right.

BOSTON — Trevor Story is not in the Red Sox lineup Sunday. David Hamilton will play shortstop.
The Red Sox and Twins will play the rubber game of their three-game series at 1:35 p.m. here at Fenway Park.

Kristian Campbell is back after sitting the past three games with right rib discomfort. He is batting cleanup for the first time in his big league career. He has made two starts in the five hole. All his other starts have come in the sixth and seventh spots.

“Just trying something different,” manager Alex Cora said. “Putting all those at-bats together, I think it’s going to help.

*For now, there are no obvious solutions to the Red Sox’ sudden vacancy at first base, the result of the season-ending injury to Triston Casas.
Every internal option involves either regular playing time for bench players and/or hoping that someone can master the position quickly. Neither is ideal for a team with designs on the postseason.

Abraham Toro is not the long-term answer, and it may be that there is no such easy answer in the organization. From among Toro, Nick Sogard, Vaughn Grissom, and Romy Gonzalez, expectations should be kept in check.

BOSTON — Kristian Campbell, as just a 22-year-old rookie, is batting cleanup for the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.
And it might not be just a one-time thing with Trevor Story (day off) not in the lineup.

“Just trying something different,” manager Alex Cora said before Boston’s rubber game with the Twins. “Putting all those at-bats together, I think it’s going to help. I’m not saying this is the route we’re going but probably we will.”

Campbell will be the fifth different player Cora has used in the cleanup spot this year.

The Chicago White Sox have designated first baseman Bobby Dalbec for assignment.
The former Red Sox first baseman appeared in seven games for Chicago. He went 4-for-18 (.222) with a .333 on-base percentage, .278 slugging percentage, one double, one RBI, two runs, three walks and six strikeouts.

The 29-year-old will be placed on waivers. If he clears, he will be outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte. He then could accept the outright assignment and stay in the White Sox organization or decline it and become a free agent.

Saturday’s preseason game between the Washington Mystics and Indiana Fever was put on by the WNBA. But based on the level of physicality, it looked like it was a WWE event. 
In the second quarter, Sophie Cunningham, acquired in an offseason trade involving four teams, went for a rebound. As she was coming down, Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen grabbed her and flung her down to the ground.

Cunningham rightfully took exception to the unnecessary physicality, and so did the referees.
