The Yankees limp in after getting outscored 16-5 in the first 3 games of the Boston series, capped by a walk-off loss in extras Sunday when Jarren Duran ended it for the Red Sox. Aaron Boone described the sweep as 'crappy' and there's no other way to put it. Without Aaron Judge (rib stress fracture, 4-6 weeks out) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf reinjury), New York has been leaning on Ben Rice, who at this point is the team's best hitter anyway — .300/.393/.638, 17 home runs, 181 wRC+ through 57 games. The Tigers, meanwhile, dropped 3 of 4 to Houston after an 8-0 blowout win in game 3 offered a misleading glimpse of life.

Detroit's injury list reads like a MASH unit: Jackson Jobe, Parker Meadows, Wenceel Perez, Justin Verlander, Javier Baez, Trey Sweeney — all on the 60-day IL, most with no clear return timeline. Sweeney is done for the year with shoulder surgery. The Tigers are essentially running a replacement-level roster into Yankee Stadium, and the fact that Mize keeps pitching well enough to keep them in games is a minor miracle. That said, a shorthanded Yankees lineup getting right at home in the Bronx is a dangerous destination for any team at 12-28 on the road.
