Red Sox Vs. Tigers Lineups: Ceddanne Rafaela Returns
Sign In
The Red Sox will look to even things up with the Detroit Tigers on Friday, hosting the second game of their set at Fenway Park.
Ceddanne Rafaela will return to help the cause.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora is doing some slight shuffling, as Rafaela will return to roam the outfield, pushing Rob Refsnyder into the designated hitter spot. Connor Wong will replace Reese McGuire behind the dish after serving as the DH on Thursday.
Dominic Smith will also return, replacing Garrett Cooper at first base and in the six-hole.
Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, Connor Wong, Rafael Devers and Rob Refsnyder will kick things off, which is the same order as Thursday but Wong and Refsnyder swap spots. Rafaela will round things out, pushing David Hamilton and Vaughn Grissom each up a spot.
Tanner Houck will do the pitching, bringing his Cy Young case to the mound for another round of Houckamania at Fenway Park.
