Dobbins didn’t take the bait postgame and pile on the Yankees after beating them twice. But he has become something of a young breakout star for the Red Sox this season and somewhat quietly has a 4-1 record and 3.74 ERA in 55 ⅓ innings in his first taste of big league action.

Jarren Duran has spent the majority of his Red Sox career batting in the leadoff spot, but for Saturday’s game against the Yankees, he’s hitting fifth for the first time since 2023.

As he prepares to face the Yankees for a second time, Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins said he’s trying to move on.
