The Boston Red Sox are sticking with a new-look lineup Sunday, and with good reason. Manager John Farrell bumped Mookie Betts up to the lead-off spot and batted Andrew Benintendi cleanup Saturday against the Minnesota Twins, and the change produced an 11-1 Red Sox rout at Target Field. That same lineup will take the field Sunday in the Red Sox’s series finale versus the Twins, with one exception: Deven Marrero will start at third base and bat ninth in place of Josh Rutledge. Benintendi will play center field, meaning Jackie Bradley Jr. is out of the lineup for the second straight game. Boston’s bats should be in good hands with Chris Sale on

Share this: Dancing and the Red Sox’s outfield went hand in hand following a 2016 Boston win, and that trend will continue in the video game world, too.

Red Sox Vs. Rays Lineup: Jackie Bradley Jr. Rests For Series Finale In St. Pete
Share this: It’s Jackie Bradley Jr.’s turn to take a seat Sunday. The Boston Red Sox have been giving their regular starters a breather through their 10-game win streak, and JBJ will be the one resting Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Andrew Benintendi will get his first major league start in center field and bat eighth as a result, while Chris Young remains in left and bats seventh. Eduardo Rodriguez will get the ball for the Red Sox, and he’s coming off a start against the Baltimore Orioles during which he went 6 2/3 innings, giving up just two runs and striking out seven.

Red Sox Vs. Rays Lineup: David Ortiz Gets Day Off For Series Finale
The Boston Red Sox are switching up their lineup for their series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. David Ortiz will get a day off Thursday, which is unsurprising given the Red Sox are playing an afternoon game after a night game. Hanley Ramirez will return to the lineup as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot. Travis Shaw will take Ramirez’s post at first base and bat eighth, while Aaron Hill will slot in at third base and bat seventh. Chris Young also will start in left field and bat sixth after Andrew Benintendi injured his knee during Wednesday night’s game. Drew Pomeranz is on the mound for the Red
Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi’s Insane Catch Was Years In The Making
The legend of Andrew Benintendi is growing by the day. The 22-year-old outfielder has garnered a few local headlines with his play since getting promoted straight from Double-A Portland to the Boston Red Sox. But he burst into the national spotlight Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, making a ridiculous catch to rob Steven Souza Jr. of a sure home run in one of the best plays you’ll see this season. Benintendi’s natural position is center field, so his stellar snag in left field might come as a surprise to some. But apparently the Red Sox rookie had been preparing for that moment since he was a young tot. “I remember when I was ... NESN.com
