The regulars return to the lineup as the Boston Red Sox host the St. Louis Cardinals.
After the Red Sox fielded a lineup of depth players and minor league pieces against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday afternoon, the big boys are back in the lineup. They take on the St. Louis Cardinals at 1:05 ET, with the familiar core at the top of the order. Though, it wouldn’t be Spring Training without Steve Selsky in center field.
- Dustin Pedroia, 2B
- Xander Bogaerts, SS
- Mookie Betts, RF
- Hanley Ramirez, DH
- Mitch Moreland, 1B
- Chris Young, LF
- Pablo Sandoval, 3B
- Steve Selsky, CF
- Sandy Leon, C
Pitching: LHP Brian Johnson
The St. Louis Cardinals are sending a split-squad to Jet Blue Park, so this is a game the Red Sox should win. This is the lineup they’re fielding:
- Kolten Wong, 2B
- Paul DeJong, SS
- Stephen Piscotty, RF
- Randal Grichuk, LF
- Matt Adams, 1B
- Carson Kelly, C
- Greg Garcia, 3B
- Jose Martinez, 1B
- Harrison Bader, CF
Pitching for the Cardinals is Michael Wacha, who also started Game 6 of the 2013 World Series. We all know how that went.
