MLB Makes Historic Aaron Judge, Rafael Devers Announcement During Yankees-Red Sox originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The New York Yankees rivalry with the Boston Red Sox runs as deep as any in the history of sports. A rivalry rooted in over 100 years of tension, stemming from the sale of one of the greatest baseball players to ever live, Babe Ruth.

The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has seen a plethora of Hall of Famers square off in some of the most heated battles in the history of Major League Baseball. And the latest iteration of this fierce matchup came and went this weekend, culminating in a Sunday Night Baseball showdown on ESPN.
While the Red Sox were in town to take on the Yankees, most baseball fans filled Yankee Stadium to see one man, hit baseballs really far. That man is the reigning American League MVP, Aaron Judge.
While the Yankees would lose this three-game series to the Red Sox, two games to one, Judge did not disappoint. In fact, both team's offenses came to play, as they combined to score 50 total runs during the series.
On Sunday night, however, Judge, and Red Sox designated hitter, Rafael Devers, launched themselves into identical places in the history books of Yankees-Red Sox.

Judge hit two home runs during Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Red Sox, a two-run home run in the first inning and a solo home run during the ninth inning. Devers hit a solo shot as well during the ninth inning.
Both ninth inning blasts were No. 30 for Judge and Devers against the opposing team. This made each man the second fastest players to reach this mark in the history of Yankees-Red Sox. MLB was quick to make the historic announcement.
Judge reached this feat in 107 games, only exceeded by Ruth who did it in 95 games. Devers accomplished the same history in 113 games, only bested by Manny Ramirez who did it in 102 games.

Judge's two home runs (22 and 23) put him in second place in MLB, behind only Seattle Mariners catcher, Cal Raleigh (26). Devers' home run was No. 14 on the season, but he finds himself just ahead of Judge in RBIs this season at 57 as compared to Judge's 55.

Baseball fans won't have to wait long for the next chapter of Yankees-Red Sox. Their next series is scheduled to start on Friday, June 13. This is another three-game series being hosted by the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

You could have bought a Roman Anthony auto for $45
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 09: Roman Anthony #48 of the Boston Red Sox takes to the field in the eighth inning of his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park on June 09, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by) That time is long gone. The Roman reign has officially begun. Baseball's number one prospect has made his big league debut. It wasn't perfect, but the market doesn't seem to care. He showed poise, and he'll undoubtedly get many more chances to prove why he was (or still is) #1. Advertisement As is tradition, eBay was immediately flooded with listings from savvy collectors looking to unload their Roman Anthony cards to the highest bidder. With the exception of generational talents like Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, or Ronald Acuña Jr., it's well known that a player's MLB call-up is often the best time to sell their 1st Bowman cards. A player's 1st Bowman auto is usually their very first licensed autograph or card in a big-league uniform, and for many, it's the grail. With rumors swirling about his call-up, Wilyer Abreu's injury hitting the news, and that grand slam clip going viral, Anthony's card prices have been steadily trending up for the past two weeks. His PSA 10 1st Bowman base auto is now hovering around $800–$900, with sales reaching as high as $949 in the past 24 hours, a significant jump from the $450 it commanded just three months ago. (Buy on eBay) The price of Roman Anthony's Bowman Chrome auto has increased considerably over the last 3 months. (130 Point) If that feels like a big leap, wait until you see what he was selling for in the early days. Advertisement According to Big Bob's Cards on Twitter, one month after 2023 Bowman was released, 1st Bowman autos of Roman Anthony were going for a measly $45—down $20 from the month before, on release day. That's a staggering 1,900% increase to where we are today. This is the kind of story we all chase in the hobby: a $45 card turning into nearly $1,000. It's the perfect encapsulation of why prospecting is both exhilarating and brutally difficult. No one would've blamed you back then for investing in Cam Collier, Druw Jones, or Matt Mervis—at least two of whom might still pan out. If you've held Anthony through all the ups and downs over the past two years, a big pat on the back is in order. It's a picture-perfect hobby ending. Advertisement And for those still holding? Godspeed. Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.

Yankees Announce Giancarlo Stanton Injury News Ahead of Royals Game
Yankees Announce Giancarlo Stanton Injury News Ahead of Royals Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The return of Giancarlo Stanton from dual-elbow tendonitis will be a welcome sight for Yankee fans, but it also may prove challenging for manager Aaron Boone. Advertisement Given the success of Trent Grisham, Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt, Boone has a lot of shuffling to do upon Stanton's return. Rice can platoon at catcher and first base but has only made five appearances at catcher since joining the Yankees last June. Despite a long and at-times puzzling injury timeline, the Yankees made a concrete announcement on Stanton that suggests the playoff hero's return is imminent. Yankees slugger Giancarlo Carchietta-Imagn Images Stanton will begin a Minor League rehab assignment tonight with Double-A Somerset Patriots, according to Bryan Hoch. This means Stanton will likely return in no more than two weeks, with each game serving as a means for the organization to see his game readiness. Advertisement Stanton was seen taking batting practice on May 7, and appeared to be swinging gingerly. Clearly, things have changed for the slugger, and the Yankees feel he's ready to come back. The Yankees have been dabbling with ways to accommodate Stanton's return while also clearing playing time for valuable hitters like Rice, Goldschmidt and Grisham. Goldschmidt was even seen taking reps at second base in batting practice last week, which would be a first in Paul Goldschmidt's nearly 2,000 career games, the bulk of which have been spent at first base. A possible solution is to alternate Rice and Stanton at DH based on lefty-righty splits, or see if the far-away situation of putting Rice at third, Jazz Chisholm Jr at second, Goldschmidt at first and Stanton at DH has any viability. Advertisement Either way, the logjam between Rice and Goldy at first is putting the Yankees in a pickle, but Stanton's return should be welcome nonetheless.
