The Yankees don’t know when their superstar and only productive bat will return. Their center fielder doesn’t want to come off the injured list. Their prized free-agent starting pitcher hasn’t thrown a pitch this season. Their five veteran bats making a combined $95.7 million can’t field. They are now 3-6 against the White Sox, Red Sox and Mets since last week and the team’s owner called them a “championship-caliber” team just a few days ago.

If Devers doesn’t beat the Yankees, the Red Sox can’t beat the Yankees, and yet, they keep pitching to him.

The Yankees will play the Red Sox for the first time this season this weekend, and they will do so at much less than full strength. Aaron Judge and Harrison Bader will miss the series on the injured list, and so will Nestor Cortes. Thankfully, the Red Sox aren’t very good.

Michael Hurley of CBS Boston joined me to talk about all of the Red Sox’ issues as they fell under .500 this week.
