The Yankees are 48-32 and leading the AL East by a comfortable margin, which is remarkable given how many key pieces are unavailable. Aaron Judge is out with a stress fracture of his first rib — he won't be re-evaluated for 4-to-6 weeks, which puts early August as the realistic best-case return. Giancarlo Stanton re-aggravated his calf and is on a slow ramp. Max Fried is on the IL with elbow issues. New York went 2-1 against Detroit before dropping Game 1 here, a loss that had more to do with 4 self-inflicted errors than anything Fenway threw at them. Boston at 33-46 is 15.5 games back, but they did just beat the Yankees at Fenway for the first time all season.

Boston's injury report reads like a rotation apocalypse — Garrett Crochet not yet cleared to resume throwing, Kutter Crawford dealing with forearm tightness, Tanner Houck at 105 feet, Triston Casas just now being cleared to swing a bat. The Red Sox are patching a roster together and yet they keep stealing games, partly because Tolle keeps giving them chances and partly because Caleb Durbin has been one of the most dangerous hitters on the field this month, with 5 home runs in June including the 2-run, tie-breaking shot that closed out Game 1. For New York, the path back in this series starts with Warren doing what he's done on the road all year and a shorthanded Red Sox lineup doing what it's done over the last 10 games — hitting .228 and making life hard on its own pitchers.
