Today, the Yankees will get their first glimpse at the defending World Series champions – the Boston Red Sox (that hurts to say) from George M. Steinbrenner Field. Michael Pineda will get the start against Felix Doubront, as the game’s most storied rivalry get’s renewed for the 2014 season. Former Red Sock Jacoby Ellsbury will sit out once again after experiencing tightness in his right calf on Sunday, but he’s not concerned about being sidelined for a considerable amount of time.
