BOSTON --- The Yankees are looking to avoid being swept out of Fenway Park for the second consecutive June. This would be the third time this season the Yankees would be swept if completed, the last time at the hands of the Brewers.

The Yankees are looking for an offensive spark, having just two runs on six hits in their last 18 innings of play. Their offense has been good but has hit some dull points at times this season, and they are in the midst of one.

Tonight will be the final game the Yankees play at Fenway Park in the 2026 regular season. In June under [Aaron Boone](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/booneaa01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr), Fenway Park has been a house of horrors, so being done with this park for the rest of the season is a good thing for the Yankees.

First pitch Sunday will be at 7:20pm on NBC 'Sunday Night Baseball'.

Here is how the Yankees will line up today:

1. 2B [Jazz Chisholm Jr.](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/chishja01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr)

Today's Yankee lineup has [Jazz Chisholm Jr.](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/chishja01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr) leading off for the first time this season.

[Amed Rosario](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rosaram01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr), who also has career success against Gray, is the team's designated hitter.

Here is how the Red Sox will line up today:

1. LF [Nate Eaton](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/eatonna01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr)

## Pitching Matchup

### Yankees LHP [Carlos Rodón](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodonca01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr) (4-2, 3.70)

The Yankees are sending out lefty [Carlos Rodón](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodonca01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-27%5Fbr) for his first start against the Red Sox this season. After struggling in his first few outings, Rodón has steadied and has looked solid in his past few outings and has given the Yankees some innings. With the lack of leads the past few days, the Yankees' late-inning core relievers, like [Fernando Cruz](https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=cruzfe01,cruz--005fer&search=Fernando+Cruz&utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-27%5Fbr) and [David Bednar](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bednada01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-27%5Fbr), are on full rest and should be available should the situation present itself.

Here is how Rodón has fared against the Red Sox in his career

### Red Sox RHP [Sonny Gray](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grayso01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-28%5Fbr) (9-1, 2.95)

For the Red Sox, it will be righty [Sonny Gray](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grayso01.shtml?utm%5Fmedium=linker&utm%5Fsource=citylimitspod.com&utm%5Fcampaign=2026-06-27%5Fbr). For the first time since Tuesday, the Yankees are facing a right-hander in a string where a lot of lefties have come up. The Yankees saw Gray in the Bronx earlier this month, with him going 6.1 innings and giving up three runs. The Yankees' offense has struggled as of late and will look to get off to a good start against the former Yankee.  

Here is how Gray has fared against the Yankees in his career
