Bring on The Sox’s

The Bronx Bombers & Boston Red Sox begin a 4 game tilt on starting tonight in Boston.  
The Yankees' lineup includes the debut of Luke Voit, who was imported last week from the St. Louis Cardinals. To make room for Voit on the 25-man roster, infielder Tyler Wade was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Yankees have also put lefty starter J.A. Happ on the DL and called Luis Cessa from The Rail Raiders.
