Yankees sweep Red Sox to advance to ALDS with Judge uncertain for Game 1

The New York Yankees completed a two-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox in their American League wild-card series with a 9-2 victory in Game 2. This marked a notable achievement as it was the first postseason series without Aaron Judge since 2015. Despite Judge's absence due to injury, the Yankees showcased strong performances, outscoring the Red Sox 18-2 over the two games, and demonstrated depth in their roster. Judge expressed optimism about returning for the AL Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, although his availability remains uncertain ahead of Saturday's matchup.
