BOSTON — For a team struggling to score runs all weekend, the Yankees only made matters worse against the Red Sox with some shaky baserunning that cost them again in Sunday’s 2-0 loss. This time, the culprit was Ben Rice, who was caught breaking too early while trying to steal third in the top of the third inning.

Ben Rice may be part of lineup twist Boone hinted at originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Giancarlo Stanton could be back in the Yankees’ lineup as soon as this weekend. And when he returns, he’ll take over the designated hitter spot. That means fewer chances for Ben Rice—at least at DH.
