Red Sox face Yankees, Rays in crucial upcoming series

Summary

The Boston Red Sox are set to play a three-game series against the New York Yankees this weekend in the Bronx, followed by another three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays. Currently, the Red Sox sit in last place in the American League East, 10.5 games behind the Rays and 3.5 games from a Wild Card spot. Interim manager Chad Tracy has led the team to a 16-17 record since taking over, following the dismissal of Alex Cora. The Yankees lead the AL with a 3.31 team ERA but may be without star outfielder Aaron Judge due to injury. The Red Sox could benefit from the Rays’ recent struggles, as Tampa Bay has lost four of its last five games.
