Kristian Campbell is set to get his first career start at center field on Saturday.
Originally slated to start in left, Red Sox manager Alex Cora opted to flip Campbell and Jarren Duran, who was scheduled to bump over to center but who will instead remain at his usual spot. Wilyer Abreu remains in right and Ceddanne Rafaela will come off the bench for the second game of this weekend’s series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
David Hamilton will start at second base, Connor Wong will be the catcher and Richard Fitts is set to make his second start of the season on the mound.
Boston is going for its fourth straight win and second straight series victory, and a win would also move the Red Sox over .500 for the first time since Opening Day.
