Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was removed from the starting lineup Sunday night for the finale of a critical four-game series against the rival Boston Red Sox. Volpe is mired in a 1-for-28 slump and leads the majors with 17 errors.

The New York Yankees avoided a historically damaging sweep with a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night at Yankee Stadium. The victory snapped an eight-game losing streak to their rivals and prevented Boston from completing a four-game sweep in the Bronx for the first time since July 1939.

The Boston Red Sox might not ever want to leave Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y. after this weekend, but unfortunately for the visitors, Sunday, Aug. 24 marks the end to the four-game series between the New York Yankees and the Red Sox.
