The Boston Red Sox are getting a double-barreled boost for their playoff hopes over the final month of the season with the addition of outfielder Roman Anthony and shortstop Trevor Story from the injured list.

The moves come just before the final game of their series on Sunday against their division rivals, the New York Yankees.

Anthony will bat leadoff as the designated hitter and Story will hit eighth and play shortstop in the Aug. 30 game at Yankee Stadium. New York has won two of the first three games in the series.

The Yanks currently have a three-game edge on the Red Sox for the top wild-card spot in the American League.
