The Red Sox took three of four games against the Yankees in the Bronx last month but are coming off a .500 road trip following Wednesday’s 5-4 walk-off loss to the Athletics.
The Red Sox announced Friday they placed lefthander Brennan Bernardino on the 15-Day Injured List with a left lat strain and called up lefthander Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester.
Righthander Lucas Giolito will take the mound Friday to open the series against Yankees righthander Luis Gil.
The game will be on Apple TV+, not NESN. (Old friend Heidi Watney will be in town.) If you don’t have an account, you can sign up here for a free seven-day trial.

Stat of the day: New York’s starting pitchers have allowed two or fewer earned runs in 15 of the team’s last 17 games.
Notes: Giolito allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits across five innings in last Saturday’s loss to the Diamondbacks. He had won his two prior starts, including eight shutout innings against the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 26. … Giolito is 3-2 with a 4.99 ERA in six career starts against New York. … While the Red Sox had Thursday off, the Yankees blitzed the Detroit Tigers 9-3 to avoid losing three in a row. Massachusetts native Cam Schlittler pitched six innings of one-run ball. … Aaron Judge (3-for-4, two home runs) and Massachusetts native Ben Rice (two doubles, RBI) helped support Schlittler’s effort. Judge tied Joe DiMaggio for fourth on the Yankees’ all-time home run list (361). … New York banged out 14 hits, including two more from Jose Caballero, who made a second straight start in Anthony Volpe’s place. Volpe (.206 average) had a cortisone shot in his left shoulder Wednesday, and Yankees manager Aaron Boone expects him “to be OK in the next couple days.”
