Both will undergo further testing.

Hanley Ramirez then picked up his third hit and the runners moved up on a groundout before Warren uncorked his wild pitch. Jacoby Ellsbury gave a long look skyward as the ball landed a few rows deep, and that’s all she wrote. In his first ever major league start last night, Gabriel Ynoa struck out eight over just four and two thirds to pick up the win.
Things were just getting started!
Romine had a towering two-run triple in the fourth inning.
Ramirez’s game-winning homer Thursday off Dellin Betances had capped a five-run ninth, giving Boston a 7-5 win in the series opener. The blast cut the Yankee lead to 4-3.
NY (77-71) wasted 3-0 and 5-2 leads and has lost six of its last seven games, including four in a row. Xander Bogaerts was the story in this one, as he had an RBI double and a two run shot to propel the Sox to a thrilling come back victory 6-5.
White Sox 7, Royals 4: Chris Sale picked up his 16th victory with a complete game and Carlos Sanchez homered for the first time in almost a year as Chicago beat reeling Kansas City. We were not disappointed.
Pomeranz has allowed 13 home runs in 62 1/3 innings since the Red Sox acquired him in a trade from San Diego. But he’s also not the Sabathia he used to be, and would it have made more sense to just put the scorching Ramirez on base after falling behind rather than risk what happened? Sabathia was already at 100 pitches after five innings, but instead of going to the pen in the sixth inning, Girardi stuck with with Sabathia without warming up another pitcher.
It’s hard not to make comparisons between Hanley Ramirez and the great Manny Ramirez given the way the former has been swinging the bat.
He was not in the starting lineup for Boston in the series finale against the Yankees, understandable considering the late game time and the fact that C.C. Sabathia was on the mound for NY. The Sox managed to scratch across one more in the 6th, tying the game up at 4-4.
That is because there is no game on Monday, and maybe the day off will allow some of the mostly self-inflicted wounds from the Boston Tee Party to heal before they head to a supposedly soft landing in Tampa.
He did just that.
NY chased Drew Pomerantz (10-12, 3.25) from the game in the fourth with four runs, but a slew of Red Sox relievers kept them in the game as Ramirez hit a three-run jack into the light tower during the fifth to pull Boston within one run. That was all the Sox relievers needed. With Craig Kimbrel unavailable, Koji Uehara got his seventh save.
The Boston Red Sox bailed David Price out of a shaky start and pulled out a 6-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday.
Eight days later and after their latest loss, 5-4, to the Boston Red Sox, Teixeira was verbalizing what a lot of his teammates were surely thinking, that little short of a miracle could enable the Yankees to continue playing baseball beyond the close of business on October 2, the last day of the regular season. Ramirez has 28 homers on the year, nine in September and 20 since the All-Star break.He also matched his career high in RBIs at 106, set in 2009 with the Florida Marlins. While many other players played key roles during this series, it was ultimately the Hanley Ramirez show.
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco walks off the field after suffering a broken right hand when he was hit by a ball off the bat of Detroit Tigers’ Ian Kinsler during the first inning of a baseball game Saturday, . I can not imagine what it must be like for the Yankees and their fans at the moment.
For once, that is perfectly fine with the New York Yankees’ organization.
