BOSTON (AP) -- The Red Sox had to wait a day for a chance to catch up on the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays.

The series opener Friday was postponed because of rain and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on June 8.

World Series champion Boston has won five of seven and trails Tampa Bay by 5 1/2 games. The Rays won 11 of their first 14 but have lost six of their last 11, getting swept at home by the Red Sox in a three-game series last weekend.

BOSTON (AP) -- Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi had surgery Tuesday to remove a loose body in his right elbow.

The arthroscopic procedure was performed by Yankees head team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Boston said Eovaldi is expected to return to pitching within six weeks.

"I don't want to give a timetable, but I think everybody knows around what it's going to take," Boston manager Alex Cora said before Tuesday's doubleheader with the Detroit Tigers. "He should be fin when he comes back and ready to roll."

​BOSTON (AP) -- The points -- and comebacks -- keep coming for the Boston Bruins.

David Krejci scored on a tip-in with 44.7 seconds left and the Bruins extended their NHL-best run of 19 straight games with a point by beating the Ottawa Senators 3-2 Saturday night.

"It's a nice number," Krejci said. "We know what we're playing for here, and obviously (tonight was a) good finish from the team."
