These two teams met just a week ago in Yankee Stadium for the first time this year, but now we’re getting a double-serving of The Rivalry. The Yankees are rested after off-days bracketing their split with the Mets, and the Sox just took their first off-day of the month yesterday. Perhaps some fresh lineups will ignite the offenses that mostly were contained last weekend, though the Yankees are sending one of their better pitchers out to start things off.
Domingo Germán has quietly taken the reins as the team’s No. 2 starter this year in the absence of Carlos Rodón and ineffectiveness of Luis Severino.
