BOSTON — The Red Sox have been trotting out a rookie-heavy lineup during their recent run of victories, having won four games in a row and six of seven to get back to .500. Facing a tough pitching matchup Sunday, though, they’ll start the game with three of their prized rookies on the bench.

The Red Sox have endured a disappointing first half of the season, but the one bright spot is that they’ve had their bitter rival’s number. The Sox defeated the Yankees, 2-1, in 10 innings Friday night, giving them their third win in four tries against the Bombers this season.

Alex Cora and the Red Sox roster shared their thoughts on Rafael Devers' trade to the Giants ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners.

Stanton was sidelined through Sunday with tendon injuries in both elbows. He played in 2024 despite joint pain, including through a postseason in which he clubbed seven home runs in 14 games, but then he was shut down from swinging a bat in January until late March.

With Monday's 1-0 loss to the Angels in 11, it’s been a run drought lately for the Yankees, who scored a total of five runs in the last five games.
