The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 9-0 in Game 1 of the 2026 AL Wild Card Series, driven by a dominant pitching performance from Cam Schlittler and a historic offensive night for homegrown players. Schlittler threw 6.1 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts, while Ben Rice went 4-for-5 with two home runs and six RBIs. Other young stars, including George Lombard Jr., Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, and Spencer Jones, contributed significantly to the shutout. This victory sets the stage for the Yankees to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL Division Series, with Aaron Judge's return status still uncertain.

Judge-less Yankees roar in 9-2 victory over Diamondbacks

Without Aaron Judge due to a calf strain, the Yankees jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first inning and Gerrit Cole worked six innings of two-run ball as New York routed the Diamondbacks 9-2. Arizona’s Corbin Carroll connected for a second-inning homer, but Ben Rice hit his 39th and George Lombard Jr. added a sixth-inning shot to widen the margin. The win keeps the Yankees within four games of the Rays for the division and solidifies their wild-card position, with Cole likely to start in the postseason series despite a late-season bump in form.

Yankees keep Ben Rice at the plate, not behind the catcher’s mask

The New York Yankees have no plans to make Ben Rice catch, even with the acquisition of Luis García Jr., opting to keep him at bat-focused positions. Rice, who caught 36 games last season, is expected to play daily at first base or DH to avoid risking his body, while García would split time at first base or DH against righties, helping manage a potential logjam with Goldschmidt, Stanton, and possibly Aaron Judge's DH role.

Yankees Eye Catcher Role for Ben Rice as Stanton Nears Return

Ben Rice, primarily a hitter and occasional first baseman for the Yankees, may start catching more games once Giancarlo Stanton returns from injury, as the team explores how to best utilize his defensive skills. Stanton is close to returning, and Rice has been working on his catching skills in practice. The team also updates on other players' injuries, including Luke Weaver and Jazz Chisholm Jr.
