Giancarlo Stanton was not activated before Friday night’s series opener in Boston, despite seemingly having wrapped up his rehab assignment earlier this week. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters pregame that Stanton was in the Bronx on Friday, working out at Yankee Stadium instead of joining the club at Fenway Park.

Pablo Reyes scored the only run of the game after he stumbled heading for home, got up and slid safely into home on a poor throw to the plate.
