The Yankees (42-28), who entered the series off a three-game sweep of the Royals in Kansas City, were held to five hits on Sunday and have totaled five runs in their last four games. They have helped give life to the Red Sox (37-36), who have won eight of their last 10, including the last five against the Yankees.

The Yankees dropped all three games to the Red Sox without holding a lead at any point.

Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is expected to come off the injured list Monday to make his season debut against the Los Angeles Angels, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Stanton is set to be activated off the injured list ahead of tonight’s game.

The Houston Astros placed starter Lance McCullers Jr. on the 15-day injured list with a right foot sprain Monday, halting the right-hander’s comeback, the team announced.
