New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Aaron Judge went 0-for-5 with a walk on Friday in his return to the Yankees’ lineup. It was an uncharacteristically poor showing for Judge, who will headline the American League All-Star squad later this month at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, in his return after a one-game absence from the Yankees’ lineup. The 30-year-old slugger has been dealing with a relatively minor lower body issue and is expected to be in New York’s lineup for the remainder of this weekend’s critical series against the Red Sox.
Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said after Friday’s game that Rafael Devers (back) will not play on Saturday but is considered day-to-day. Devers was removed from Friday’s game after tweaking his back when he hit the railing while chasing a foul ball. Cora admitted that the team needs to be careful with him going forward, so don’t be surprised if he gets a couple of days off instead of just one.
