In the final six weeks of their schedule, the Boston Red Sox will play seven games against the New York Yankees, who seem to have kicked their midseason blues to land a game back from the Sox in the Wild Card race.
The Red Sox have two games against the Orioles on August 18-19 — which could be challenging enough — before they play four games in the Bronx. The Yankees may be short a few key players when Boston arrives, which could give it an advantage.
Neither Aaron Judge nor Giancarlo Stanton may be ready to play right field this coming week.
