The New York Yankees are facing potential elimination after a Game 1 loss to the Boston Red Sox in their Wild Card Series. Manager Aaron Boone's controversial decisions, including pulling starting pitcher Max Fried and benching key hitters Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice, are under scrutiny after a late-game meltdown by reliever Luke Weaver led to the defeat. The Yankees aim to rebound Wednesday to avoid an early exit.
