The New York Yankees are last in the American League East and seven games out of the final wild-card spot with 40 games left to play, but manager Aaron Boone told his players in a team meeting Friday night that "this thing is not over."

Boone, speaking to reporters before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox, said his players are "definitely wearing it" after going 6-14 since star Aaron Judge returned from the injured list July 28.
