On Saturday night, the New York Yankees were back in the Bronx to host the Boston Red Sox for the second game of their series.
However, the game was rained out.
The Yankees wrote (via X): “Tonight’s Yankees-Red Sox game (Saturday, June 6) has been rescheduled due to the forecast of sustained inclement weather and will be made up as the first game of a split-admission doubleheader on Saturday, August 29 at 1:05pm.”

The Yankees remain without Aaron Judge who was recently put on the IL.
He last played in a game on May 31.
On Saturday, Yankees legend Derek Jeter was asked about Judge (via FOX Sports: MLB).
Jeter: “Let’s just be honest, Aaron Judge is as irreplaceable as any player in the league. Maybe in baseball… You’re not just gonna have one individual pick up the slack. They’re gonna need contributions from a lot of guys that have underperformed.”
Fans will likely enjoy hearing Jeter talk about Judge.
The five-time World Series Champion spent all 20 years of his legendary career with the Yankees.
Jeter was supposed to call the game with Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz for FOX.
