Red Sox Adjust as Rafaela Rests | Boston News

Boston Red Sox roll into their three-game series against the Pirates with a key lineup tweak: Ceddanne Rafaela gets a rare day off after a minor hand mishap, making way for Masataka Yoshida in the two-hole and Nick Sogard leading off. Adley Rutschman returns to the plate third after a day off, easing back from injury. Rookie pitcher Jake Bennett, who’s been sharp since mid-June, takes the mound against Pirates rookie Bubba Chandler, whose season has been up and down. With Rafaela resting and the lineup shifting, the Sox aim to jump-start the series — and we’re watching closely to see how the changes shake out.
