Red Sox Vs. Blue Jays Lineups: Boston Makes Multiple Changes
The Red Sox will look to keep the good times rolling Tuesday, as they have an opportunity to grab another series victory against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
David Hamilton won’t be available to keep providing a spark, though.
Hamilton is feeing just fine after leaving Monday’s series-opening win with discomfort in his side, but will get the night off. Enmanuel Valdez will return to the lineup and bat second in his place, playing second base while Ceddanne Rafaela moves from center field to shortstop.
Rob Refsnyder, Jarren Duran and Tyler O’Neill will go left to right in the outfield, while Reese McGuire slots back in for Connor Wong. Masataka Yoshida will return as the designated hitter, with Dominic Smith jumping back in for Bobby Dalbec at first base.
