Red Sox Send 2-3 Suarez Against 7-1 Warren as Yankees Lose Judge for at Least 1 Month

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 6

Summary

  • Ranger Suarez starts for Boston against Will Warren on Friday, with Aaron Judge sidelined for at least a month and New York entering the rivalry series without its biggest bat.
  • Judge's absence has sharply hurt the Yankees in recent years: they are 40-49 without him over the past four seasons, and their scoring drops to 3.8 runs per game from 4.9.
  • Suarez, a key offseason addition, is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA and has been stronger on the road, allowing nine earned runs in 27.2 innings across five away starts.
  • Warren has been one of New York's steadiest arms at 7-1 with a 3.22 ERA, though he has been more vulnerable at Yankee Stadium, where he has allowed six of his seven homers.
  • The matchup comes with playoff pressure building for Boston, which still has a losing record in a division where every club opened the season viewing itself as a contender.
