BASEBALL-MLB-NYY-BOS-LONDONReuters World Sports WireThe New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox each added a 26th player ahead of their historic game tonight in London. The teams were allowed to bring 28 players overseas for the trip and to have 26 active players for the two-game series, the first Major League Baseball games to be played in Europe. The Yankees activated infielder Thairo Estrada, while the Red Sox chose to activate first baseman/outfielder Sam Travis. But in 57 games at Triple-A Pawtucket, Travis has posted a .270 average, hit five home runs and scored 32 runs. In another roster swap, the Red Sox placed left-hander Brian Johnson on the 10-day injured list and replaced him with right-hander Hector Velazquez.
