Heavy rain is expected in the forecast starting tonight and lasting through Monday night. With the ground already saturated across most of New England, a Flood Watch has been issued for a large area with the anticipation of localized flooding. In our area Worcester County and parts of Middlesex have been included in the watch, but also most of New Hampshire as well as all of Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island starting now and lasting through Tuesday morning. Rain is already falling over parts of western Mass, but the rain will slowly move east tonight. By Monday morning showers and storms will reach the Boston area. Although the flood threat is minimal in and around the city, heavy rain is likely to affect commuter times throughout the day so plan ahead. Showers and storms begin to taper off Monday night, but not without leaving behind another round of heavy rain, totaling 3 inches of rainfall in spots!Orioles pick Vanderbilt outfielder Enrique Bradfield Jr. 17th overall in 2023 MLB draft

The Orioles’ front office was in a new position in this year’s MLB draft, selecting outside of the top five for the first time since the organization’s rebuild began a month after the 2018 edition. That didn’t stop Baltimore from using its first-round pick in a familiar way.The Orioles opened their draft with a position player for the fifth straight year, taking Vanderbilt outfielder Enrique Bradfield Jr. with the 17th overall pick. Choosing later in the draft thanks to 2022′s winning season, Baltimore selected a player who forecasts to remain in center field and hit .411/.426/.447 with 15 home runs and 130 steals in 143 tries across three college seasons. Baseball America ranked Bradfield as the No. 16 prospect in this draft, while MLB Pipeline had him 21st.Baltimore would do well if Bradfield follows a similar path as his four precedents, though it’s unfair to ask him to match a quartet taken at least a dozen picks earlier than him.

Injured Yankee Aaron Judge won’t attend the MLB All-Star Game in Seattle, choosing instead to focus on rehabbing his ailing big toe, he announced Sunday night.Judge, the reigning AL MVP, was voted an outfield starter by the fans, despite not playing since June 3.“I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all the fans who voted me in as a starter for the 2023 All-Star game in Seattle,” Judge wrote on Instagram. “I feel truly blessed to be included in this group of outstanding players — it is an honor to be among those names.“Unfortunately, I will not be making the trip to Seattle,” Judge continued. “I plan to take this time to heal and rehab so I can get back on the field for my team and all of you.”Judge, 31, is a five-time All-Star. He hit .291 with 19 home runs and 40 RBI through 49 games before tearing a ligament in his right big toe on a running catch into the right field wall at Dodger Stadium. Neither Judge nor the Yank...Chicago White Sox hit the All-Star break a season-high 16 games under .500 after losing in 10 innings to the St. Louis Cardinals

Sunday served as a pretty good summary of the first half for the Chicago White Sox.Starter Lucas Giolito allowed two hits in seven innings. The opponent, in this case the St. Louis Cardinals, made three errors.Still, the Sox didn’t win.The Cardinals tied the game in the ninth on a grounder that went off the glove of reliever Kendall Graveman. They went ahead in the 10th on an RBI double by Paul DeJong and held on to beat the Sox 4-3 in front of 29,769 at Guaranteed Rate Field.“This one hurt to finish up the first half,” manager Pedro Grifol said.Safe to say, the Sox have not played up to expectations.They hoped to bounce back after going 81-81 last season and contend again in the American League Central. Instead they go to the All-Star break a season-high 16 games under .500 (38-54) and eight games out of first place.“We’ve played a lot of tough ballgames, close ballgames,” Grifol said. “We’ve lost a ton of them.

After three consecutive years of drafting high school shortstops with their first pick, the Red Sox shifted gears on Sunday and landed the consensus best catcher in the draft.The Red Sox selected University of Virginia catcher Kyle Teel, the reigning ACC Player of the Year, with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft.Teel was widely regarded as a top 10 draft prospect and was ranked No. 7 on MLB Pipeline’s pre-draft rankings and No. 10 by Baseball America. He was expected to be taken well before the Red Sox picked, but Boston happily scooped him up after he slid into the middle of the first round.“Kyle is a guy that we had very high on our board for obvious reasons,” said Red Sox Director of Amateur Scouting Devin Pearson. “He had an unbelievable 2023 season offensively and is arguably one of the best college athletes in the draft. We think he’s going to be really valuable for us. We’re excited to add an athletic catcher to the system, and we were thrilled t...Man charged after crash that killed Vermont officer
