The Braves are giving rookie catcher Drake Baldwin another start due to his impressive offensive contributions. Meanwhile, veteran Alex Verdugo is back in the leadoff spot for the Red Sox, replacing Stuart Fairchild, with Eli White sliding down to the eighth position. This strategic adjustment comes as the team shifts from facing tough lefty Crochet to veteran righty Giolito. The Red Sox maintain their lineup from the previous game even as they transition from a dominant lefty, Chris Sale, to righty Grant Holmes for today's matchup. The game will start at 7:15 PM ET in Boston, airing on big FOX.
The Braves are giving rookie star Drake Baldwin another start at catcher, as he continues to earn more playing time due to his stellar performance on offense.
Meanwhile, Alex Verdugo rejoins the lineup at the leadoff spot, replacing Stuart Fairchild in the corner outfield, as Eli White move back to the eight hole.
This move makes sense, going from facing the tough lefty in Crochet to the declining veteran righty Giolito.
The Red Sox roll out an identical lineup to Friday night's game, despite going from facing the Cy Young caliber lefty Chris Sale to the serviceable righty Grant Holmes.
