While the New York Yankees continue to step on rakes and hit themselves in the face after a brief hot stretch, the rival Boston Red Sox are starting to get things reoriented after some ugly losses.
Unfortunately for Yankees-killer Marwin Gonzalez, he won’t be around to help Boston compete for a playoff spot.
Gonzalez was designated for assignment today after Boston activated lefty slugger Kyle Schwarber, who they acquired from Washington at the trade deadline.
