BOSTON (AP) — The defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox are setting their sights on an AL wild-card berth, and they're doing it with the players they already have.Red Sox baseball boss Dave Dombrowski conceded on Wednesday that the ballclub doesn't have a "realistic" hope for a fourth straight AL East title, and said he was unwilling to part with a major asset just to push for a one-game wild-card playoff. Standing pat at the trade deadline was less an expression of faith in the current players than an acknowledgement that — with or without reinforcements — they would need to perform better for the team to have any chance to repeat, anyway."If we were closer to first place, I would have been more open-minded," Dombrowski said shortly after the 4 p.m. deadline passed without any moves and before the team's game against Tampa Bay. "Realistically, we're probably playing first for a wild-card spot. I look at that a little differently as far as what you're trying to do and the risks... [More]

BOSTON (AP) — Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is out of the hospital following three surgeries after being shot in the back at a bar in the Dominican Republic.The Red Sox said Saturday that they've been told Ortiz has been released from Massachusetts General Hospital. The team said there will be an update on his condition next week."Hopefully we can see him soon," Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts said after the Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 9-5 on Saturday. "I know there's a lot of guys in here that would want to go see him."ESPN reported the 43-year-old Ortiz has been home since Friday and will continue his recovery there.Ortiz had been at the Boston hospital since June 10, a day after he was shot. Dominican police have said he was mistaken for another man who was sitting near him at the club.A 10-time All-Star, Big Papi led the Red Sox to three World Series championships before retiring after the 2016 season.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

A look at what's happening around the majors today:THE REPLACEMENTSJosé Berríos will fill in for fellow Minnesota right-hander Jake Odorizzi in the All-Star Game.
