Giancarlo Stanton Getting Rest Day

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is absent from Sunday's lineup for the series finale against the Boston Red Sox.

New York Yankees pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) will throw again on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. He made his third rehab appearance on Friday, so it sounds like Britton is making steadily progress.

Corey Kluber Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday. Kluber was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain, though the move to the 60-day injured list isn't because of a new development in his status but for roster management purposes.
