Overview
- The Yankees beat the Red Sox 1-0 Friday, keyed by Paul Goldschmidt’s solo homer and a strong outing from Cam Schlittler that left Boston scoreless late into the game.
- New York announced it will activate left-hander Max Fried to start the nightcap of Saturday’s day‑night doubleheader while Carlos Rodón is lined up to start the opener.
- The Yankees also called up Brendan Beck as the extra 27th man for the doubleheader to provide bullpen or spot-start depth.
- Boston reinstated high-leverage reliever Garrett Whitlock from the 15-day injured list, optioned Wyatt Olds and carried rookie Raymond Burgos as its 27th man for the twinbill.
- Friday’s game streamed on Apple TV’s ‘Friday Night Baseball,’ and both clubs’ short-term roster moves reflect active workload management as they jockey for wild‑card positioning after Boston’s midseason surge from a 32-46 start.
