Yankees-Red Sox opener postponed, to be made up in Tuesday DH September 11th, 2023 Ian Browne

BOSTON -- The Red Sox and Yankees will have a delayed start to their four-game rivalry series at Fenway Park.
Monday night’s game was postponed due to persistent rain in the Boston area and will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader (1:35 p.m., 7:10 p.m. ET) on Tuesday.
Spectators with tickets for Monday can use them for Game 1 of the doubleheader.
Nick Pivetta will pitch Game 1 for Boston. Kutter Crawford, originally scheduled to pitch on Monday night, will take the ball for the nightcap.
Randy Vásquez gets the ball in Game 1 for New York, followed by Carlos Rodón in Game 2.
It has been a down season for both the Red Sox (73-70) and Yankees (71-72), who are in fourth and fifth place, respectively, in the American League East.
While these teams have often fought for postseason positioning in late-season matchups such as this, the rivals would both like to avoid a last-place finish in the division this season.
“We’re still in the fight, we’re almost there,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. “But it’s always fun to play them. Tough season for both of us, put it that way. Let’s be honest. They have their things [they’ve dealt with] and us, I know before the season not too many people thought that we were going to be in the playoff hunt, but we believed. Things haven’t gone our way. It’s different.”
Said Yankees manager Aaron Boone: “When you come to Boston in September, usually we're two of the teams at the top of the division fighting it out. It's not where either of us want to be. But the reality is, it is where we are, and we have an opportunity to go out there and play baseball against a good Red Sox team in Fenway Park.”
Game 1 of the doubleheader will be televised on MLB Network. Game 2 will be on TBS. NESN will televise both games for the Red Sox, while Amazon Prime will air Game 1 for New York with YES Network televising Game 2.

Injuries & Moves: Sale pushed back to Saturday September 11th, 2023 LATEST NEWS
Sept. 11: LHP Chris Sale pushed back a couple of days After Sale's latest sluggish outing since coming off the injured list, the Red Sox have decided to give him two extra days of rest. Rather than pitching on Thursday against the Yankees, Sale is slated to start in Toronto on Saturday. In six starts since his return to action on Aug. 11, Sale is 1-2 with a 5.53 ERA. He has pitched five innings in only two of those outings, and hasn't gone deeper than that.
"Rest, that would be good for him," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said when asked about the motivation to push Sale back. "Just to work on a few things during the week and then be ready for Saturday."
Sept. 11: INF Pablo Reyes to be activated on Tuesday The Red Sox will get Reyes back for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. The versatile infielder has been solid for Boston this season. The Sox will have to decide which infielder will be optioned to make room for Reyes. Luis Urías and Enmanuel Valdez are the two candidates.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK Red Sox push Chris Sale’s next start back from Thursday to Saturday for extra rest By Julian McWilliams Globe Staff,Updated September 11, 2023, 8:28 p.m.
Chris Sale was originally supposed to pitch Thursday’s series finale against the Yankees. But manager Alex Cora said Monday that the lefthander will be pushed back to Saturday when the Sox are in Toronto for a series with the Blue Jays.
The reason?
“Rest. That will be good for him,” Cora said before the Sox’ series opener against the Yankees was rained out at Fenway Park. “He’s just working on a few things during the week and will be ready for Saturday.”
The Sale news comes behind the recent announcement that James Paxton will miss the remainder of the season because of a nagging knee injury. The Sox pushed Paxton back before his most recent start, hoping that a bit more rest, similar to Sale, would fuel him moving forward. But the Royals pounded Paxton, limiting him to just 1⅓ innings where he allowed six runs.
Sale missed much of the summer as he recovered from a shoulder fracture. He returned in early August with the hope that he could help bolster the club’s starting staff as it attempted to make a playoff push. That, of course, didn’t happen.
Sale underperformed, as did the Red Sox. In six starts since being reinstated from the injured list, he has a 5.58 ERA. In his Saturday start against the Orioles, Sale yielded six earned runs in just four innings and the Sox lost, 13-12.
“You see flashes of [the ability to pitch effectively] and then it kind of disappears for a little bit. Pitch to pitch, inning to inning, you know it’s in there. It’s just, you’re kind of scrounging around the bottom of a barrel trying to find it,” Sale said Saturday. “I’m just not getting it done. find a way to find a way. I’m supposed to be something on this team, and I’m not. Anybody that knows me knows that that’s just unbelievably frustrating and disappointing.”
Cora did not name a starter for Thursday to replace Sale. Heat’s on bullpen arms
In Friday’s convincing 11-2 loss to the Orioles, the four Sox relievers — Joe Jacques, John Schreiber, Brennan Bernardino, and Brandon Walter — averaged just 9.0.9 miles per hour on their fastballs. The Orioles, meanwhile, churned out three relievers averaged 95.1 m.p.h. on their heaters.
It was a tale of two bullpens: One harnessed elite velocity while the other did not.
“Obviously, velocity plays at this level,” Cora said. " I can go back to the meeting before the ALDS in 2018 talking about certain guys. One of them was Joe [Kelly, the former Sox reliever] and he was throwing 100 [m.p.h] and [some thought we should] leave him off the roster. And I was like, ‘You can’t teach 100. We’ll find a way to get this guy there. Velocity plays at this level. Obviously, there’s other stuff that comes into it.”
Certainly, velocity isn’t everything. Bernardino has put together a fine season without elite velocity. His funky delivery and the shape of some of his pitches can make him a tough at-bat. And, in fairness, the Red Sox ranked 11th in average fastball velocity at 94.7 m.p.h. while the Orioles ranked 10th at 94.7.
Yet following the All-Star break, the Sox ranked 22nd in the majors in reliever velo. It is, in part, an employment issue without much variance. The Sox have too many lefties that rely on craftiness over firepower. Remember, the Red Sox acquired Richard Bleier in a trade with the Marlins (for Matt Barnes) last offseason and released him in early August. Another part of the issue is overage, with the Sox having to lean on the bullpen for more outs due to injury and their starters’ inability to go deep into games.
The Red Sox amplified their bullpen last offseason with the nice additions of Kenley Jansen and Chris Martin. But there’s still work that needs to be done.
“When you throw hard, it’s hard to make decisions at the plate,” Cora said. “Velo is something that we’ll talk about in the offseason. It’s not a must but you can’t have the same pitcher all the time.” Reyes to be activated
Infielder Pablo Reyes (elbow) will be activated off the injured list Tuesday … The Fenway grounds crew used five tons of quick dry Sunday so the Sox could get their game in with the Orioles. “Yesterday they did an outstanding job. That was unreal,” Cora said … The Sox wore FDNY and NYPD hats Monday night in honor of 9/11 … Yankees manager Aaron Boone said infielder Oswald Peraza is day to day with inflammation in his left knee . . . The Yankees officially placed outfielder Jasson Domínguez on the injured list with a tear in his right UCL. Boone said the expectation is Domínguez would be out 9-10 months once he has surgery. He was 8 for 31 with four homers and seven RBIs over eight games before the elbow injury was detected. Outfielder Estevan Florial was recalled from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Red Sox-Yankees rivalry bottoms out in AL East this season By Tara Sullivan Globe Staff,Updated September 11, 2023, 9:10 p.m.
Any respectable list of the best rivalries in sports puts Red Sox-Yankees at or near the top, acknowledgment of a long, shared history of battling for the same baseball prize, built across decades of stories of lopsided trades to clutch home runs, miracle comebacks to brawls.
With that history in mind, Major League Baseball schedulers traditionally reserve a series in September to pit the longstanding American League foes against each other, eager for the fireworks, drama, and high stakes surely to follow.
This year, the schedule makers did their part. Too bad the Sox and Yankees haven’t done theirs.
Instead, as the longstanding rivals met for a four-game series at Fenway Park (the first game was rained out Monday night in favor of a split doubleheader Tuesday), these two mighty and marquee franchises were playing for fifth-place stakes, fighting to stay out of the AL East basement.
Incredibly, the last time the Yankees and Red Sox finished last and next-to last in the standings was 1966, before the AL and NL split into two divisions, never mind three. Those 10th-place Yankees finished 70-89; the ninth-place Sox a half game ahead at 72-90, with the Orioles finishing first on the way to a World Series sweep of the Dodgers. Though the Sox would rebound to reach the World Series a year later, a young Carl Yastrzemski leading the way, the Yankees were heading into one of the darkest eras of their history, the aging Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford unable to capture old magic.
More recent history has seen both storied franchises in the championship conversation, the Yankees for their late 1990s-early 2000s dominance, the Sox getting last licks in with two more championships since the Yankees last won in 2009. But this year? A complete combined dud.
As play began Monday, it was the Orioles, like they had in 1966, setting the pace, their 90 wins holding a tight grip atop the division. Behind Baltimore, second-place Tampa Bay led the wild-card race and third-place Toronto clung to the second wild-card berth, leaving the Sox and Yanks to languish far in the distance, within two games of each other but 17½ and 19½ games out of first , respectively.
“Tough season for both of us. Let’s be honest,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “They’ve had their things, and with us, I know before the season not too many people thought we were going to be in the playoff hunt but we believed. Things haven’t gone our way.
“But yeah, it’s different.”
As his Yankees counterpart Aaron Boone put it: “This time of year, you come to Boston in September, usually we’re two of the teams at the top of the division, fighting it out. Yeah, it’s not where I think either of us want to be. But the reality is, it is where we are.”
No fun now bringing up Boone’s dramatic walkoff homer to win the 2003 pennant or shutting that conversation down with the memory of the Red Sox’ greatest comeback of all time a season later. These games have none of that juice, reduced instead to focus on expanding rosters and future prospects, to fine-tuning a hitting stroke or working on a new pitch.
On a night that was supposed to include a less-than-headline-making scheduled pitching matchup between Kutter Crawford and Clarke Schmidt, the Yankees planned to counter Red Sox center field prospect Wilyer Abreu by calling up their own outfield prospect Estevan Florial to bat ninth and play center. Not quite the days of Pedro and Jeter, Big Papi and Mariano Rivera.
“Yeah, obviously any time we’re playing anybody in the division for sure these games are very competitive. It’s been a really tough division for a few years but there’s always the rivalry with the Yankees and you always want them to matter the most,” Sox shortstop Trevor Story said. “Any time they’re coming in we’re trying to win but you do kind of wish there was a little more at stake.”
Cora, of course, wasn’t waving any white flags, throwing a mock punch into the air as he insisted before the rainout that his Sox are “still in the fight.” But six games out of the wild card with 19 games to play told a different story, one where both teams are limping to the same, sad finish line.
“Last year it happened with us [not going to the playoffs], in ‘21 we played against each other in the playoffs, in ‘18 we played against each other in the playoffs, in ‘19 it wasn’t there, but five years, two playoffs, it’s not that bad I think,” he said. “It’s not a different brand of baseball — because they still have [DJ] LeMahieu, [Aaron] Judge, and [Giancarlo] Stanton — but as far as their other kids, they’re playing well, too.”
As rain fell steadily into Fenway, puddles collecting in divots around the white tarp covering the infield, the starting time getting pushed back all the while, the smattering of fans who’d made their way inside hours before the scheduled first pitch sat in their seats wrapped up in their plastic ponchos or stood on the concourse under cover.
As pregame atmospheres go, it was damp and somber, rain taking care of the former, memories of 9/11 taking care of the latter. Sadly, this year, in a battle for the basement, there was no promise of escape in the baseball.

$5? Red Sox-Yankees ticket prices sink to a low point ahead of latest matchup of former AL East powers By Alex Speier Globe Staff,Updated September 11, 2023, 6:33 p.m.
Remember the height of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, when tickets for spring training games between the teams in 2004 went for hundreds or even thousands of dollars? In more ways than one, that was a long time ago.
On Monday morning, ticket resellers had available inventory for the series opener at Fenway Park between the fourth- and fifth-place teams in the American League East for as little as $10. By the afternoon, the price had dipped to $9, and roughly 90 minutes before the scheduled first pitch, you could find two seats together for as little as $5 each (with fees pushing that closer to $9 per seat).
Ace Ticket owner Jim Holtzman said he was donating hundreds of tickets for Monday’s game to charitable organizations.
“As a business owner, sometimes when I see tickets selling, getting to the point of being as low as they are, I’d just as soon give them to charity,” Holtzman said. “Let someone go to a game who would otherwise not be able to go, and take an opportunity to thank a public service person or support a youth group. I’d much rather give them away than sell them for $10.
“I feel much better taking a $50 seat and giving it away than selling it for $10.”
Holtzman cited multiple factors to explain the low demand for the longtime rivals. With both teams out of the playoff mix, midweek games in September — after the start of the school year — tend to lose their luster. Moreover, a poor weather forecast further dampened enthusiasm.
“Sometimes tickets go for hundreds and hundreds of dollars, and other times they go for as little as $10,” he said. “At the end, demand determines the price. There’s still Red Sox fans who want to go to the game. It’s still a great rivalry. … But when was the last time both teams have had this bad of records simultaneously?
“It’s hard to be motivated to go to the game if the weather’s not good. The Red Sox, more than any team in Boston, are weather-dependent.”
Tickets on the secondary market remain available for less than $20 for the games Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, however, tickets start at nearly $40 — still below face value, but more in line with typical demand.
“Normal Red Sox-Yankees games, the prices are, like, $50, $70, even $100,” Holtzman said.
So when was the last time tickets for a game between these teams went for $10 or less?
“There’s been other games where you’ve kind of seen a similar thing, but not with the Red Sox-Yankees,” Holtzman said. “These may be the lowest prices in 20 years for a Red Sox-Yankee game. These are things in my memory I just want to suppress.”

Yankees @ Red Sox Tuesday, 12 September Double Dip @ Fenway
1:30pm Vasquez 2-2/ 2.36
Pivetta 9-8/ 4.54
Game 2 7pm
Rondon 2-5/ 6.60
Crawford 6-7/ 4.36
Yankees open four-game series against Red Sox with a doubleheader FLM
September series between the longtime rival Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees typically have major playoff implications.
In 2023, that is not the case.
Boston (73-70) and New York (71-72) enter Tuesday's four-game-series-opening doubleheader at the bottom of the American League East standings, but there is still a special feeling each time the clubs get together -- including Tuesday's day-night doubleheader.
"Another series against the division where you're trying to compete and play good baseball," Boston catcher Reese McGuire said. "It's always very fun when the Yankees come to town."
The Red Sox have won eight of the first nine meetings this season.
The series was originally set to begin Monday, but continued rain showers forced a postponement. It is Boston's third straight divisional set after going 1-2 at Tampa Bay then 1-2 again at home against Baltimore.
After an 0-for-9 start to the series, Triston Casas hit a three-run home run to punctuate Sunday's win for the Red Sox. His 24 homers this season are tied for tops among all MLB rookies.
For Boston, Nick Pivetta (9-8, 4.54 ERA) will make only his fifth start since July 31 in the first game Tuesday. It will be his second straight start after he struck out five in 4 2/3 innings of three-run ball Wednesday in Tampa Bay.
More often used in relief this season, Pivetta should be a rotation regular with James Paxton (right knee inflammation) being added to the 15-day injured list Sunday.
"That's good for (Pivetta)," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "He has been solid throughout and we'll give him every chance to start every five days."
Pivetta is 1-3 with a 7.23 ERA in 12 career outings (seven starts) against the Yankees. He made five of those starts last season with a 9.51 ERA.
In four relief outings against New York this season, Pivetta has surrendered just two runs across 9 2/3 innings. Back on Aug. 20 he gave up two runs over five innings as a bulk reliever.
Fellow right-hander Kutter Crawford (6-7, 4.36) will start the nightcap after having his scheduled Monday outing rained out. Crawford, who has allowed 11 runs over his last two outings, boasts a 1.89 career ERA in 19 career innings against the Yankees.
It has been an up-and-down September for the Yankees, who won five straight and then lost three before Sunday's 4-3, 13-inning win over Milwaukee.
Manager Aaron Boone's club was no-hit for 10 2/3 innings but won using just three hits, including a Kyle Higashioka walk-off double.
Four of New York's last five wins have come in comeback fashion.
"This last part of the season is a real revealer of character," Higashioka said. "You've got to grind through it and play your best, no matter what the circumstances are."
The Yankees will first give the ball to right-hander Randy Vasquez (2-2, 2.36) on Tuesday for his first career outing against Boston. The 24-year-old has started four times in his seven appearances. In his most recent outing, Vasquez gave up one run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 2 1/3 innings against Detroit on Thursday.
The second game of the doubleheader will mark lefty Carlos Rodon's first outing against the Red Sox since 2021. Rodon (2-5, 6.60) has a 1-3 record and 3.60 ERA in five career starts against Boston.
"Just wanted to keep Rodon on schedule," Boone said. "... And it allows us to give Clarke (Schmidt) an extra day, just considering where he is in the season too."
Rodon was charged with seven runs in 3 2/3 innings against the Tigers in his last start on Thursday, which followed a win at Houston.
"Just got my ass whooped," Rodon said of the game against Detroit.
He has worked out of the fifth inning in only two of his last seven starts.

Red Sox lineup: Trevor Story sits for Game 1 as busy day for rookie begins
Published: Sep. 12, 2023, 12:13 p.m.
By
Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
BOSTON — Trevor Story is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Yankees as a busy day for exciting Red Sox rookie Ceddanne Rafaela begins with a start at shortstop.
Manager Alex Cora said Rafaela will start Game 1 at shortstop and Game 2 at center field against New York on Tuesday. In the first game (a makeup of Monday’s rainout), a few regulars are sitting, including Story, Connor Wong and Adam Duvall. Wilyer Abreu is in center field for the Red Sox with Enmanuel Valdez at second base and Reese McGuire catching righty Nick Pivetta. Boston is expected to make a roster move between games with someone being lopped off the 28-man roster to accommodate the return of Pablo Reyes from the injured list.
Pivetta is back in the rotation full-time after taking the spot of James Paxton, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with knee inflammation Sunday. Pivetta has struggled to a 5.97 ERA since Aug. 1 (28 ⅔ innings) after a dominant stretch during which he posted a 1.88 ERA over 16 outings from May 28 to July 31. The righty has a 3.07 ERA in 55 ⅔ innings as a reliever this season and a 5.87 ERA in 61 ⅓ innings over 12 starts.
The Red Sox are 8-1 against the Yankees this season and will face them four times this week. Wednesday’s game is thought to be in jeopardy due to rain, meaning Thursday might be a doubleheader as well.
