Red Sox Vs. Athletics Lineups: Rafael Devers Returns For Finale
The Red Sox take on the Athletics at Oakland Coliseum on Wednesday with a chance to win their second straight series following the Major League Baseball All-Star break.
Boston was shut out in the middle matchup of the three-game series Tuesday, but it turns to Brayan Bello in a matinee matchup opposite Ken Waldichuk.
Manager Alex Cora will have Rob Refsnyder leading off against the A’s left-hander. Jarren Duran will get the day off with Adam Duvall back in the lineup at center field and batting fifth behind a returning Rafael Devers, who sat out the past two games with a calf injury.
Alex Verdugo shifts to sixth in the order in front of Kiké Hernández, who will start at second base. Connor Wong returns as catcher and will bat eighth ahead of Yu Chang.
