Some good news for the Red Sox after another disastrous blown-lead and loss?
They won't have to face Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton in London.
After just six games back from his first stint on the injured list, Stanton (who has a homer and seven RBI in nine games) left the Yankees' game Wednesday and was again placed on the 10-day IL with a strained posterior collateral ligament in his right knee.
He had returned June 18 after playing only three games in late March before being shelved with calf, shoulder and biceps injuries. Outfielder Mike Tauchman will be called up from Triple-A and make the trip to London for the series with the Red Sox.
