New York Yankees star Aaron Judge had his worst performance of the season this weekend as the team was swept by the rival Boston Red Sox, going 1-for-12 over the three-game series.

Rafael Devers was a certified Yankee killer until the very end of his tenure with the Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox shocked the MLB world on Sunday by trading away designated hitter Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for a collection of pitchers and prospects.

Facing the Red Sox (37-36) on back-to-back weekends, the Yankees (42-28) dropped five of six and seemingly gave life to their rival’s season. In The Bronx, it was their pitching that failed them. At Fenway, it was their lifeless bats, plus a costly baserunning miscue in each of the past two games.

Finally, there appears to be a specific timeframe for Giancarlo Stanton’s return to the Yankees. Before Saturday night’s game against the Red Sox, manager Aaron Boone said his expectation is that Stanton,

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone and second baseman DJ LeMahieu were ejected for arguing a controversial foul ball in the team's extra-inning loss to the Boston Red Sox.

That proved to be Judge’s lone hit of the series, as he went 0-for-4 with another three strikeouts in Sunday’s 2-0 loss at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox completing the sweep. His last chance to make another impact came in the eighth, when the Yankees had runners on first and second and one out and Garrett Whitlock entered.
