The Yankees got a potential victory Saturday night without taking the field.
Their game against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium was postponed because of storms and rescheduled as part of a split-doubleheader on Aug. 29 — which gives them a chance to have Aaron Judge in the lineup if he is back from a stress fracture in his rib by then.
The skies opened up around the time first pitch was scheduled for Saturday night (7:35 p.m.) and Aaron Boone said the way the forecast looked, they likely would not have been able to start the game until at least 10:30 p.m.
Now, this will just be a two-game series, and the Yankees will stick with Cam Schlittler for Sunday’s finale and bump Will Warren (initially scheduled to pitch Saturday night) back to Monday’s game against the Guardians.
The Red Sox will start Ranger Suarez, who was scheduled to pitch Saturday night, instead of another lefty, Connelly Early.
