The Boston Red Sox will have a little more firepower in their lineup on Sunday as they look to get back on track against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was not in the starting lineup for the team’s 6-5 extra-innings loss on Saturday but returns to the batting order on Sunday for the series finale against the Rays at Tropicana Field at 1:40 p.m.
Ortiz will bat in the cleanup spot behind Mike Carp, who will get the start at first base for the second straight game in the place of Mike Napoli.
Daniel Nava will make his return to the Red Sox lineup on Sunday, playing right field and batting sixth after being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday to replace the injured Shane Victorino.
On the mound for Boston is righthander Brandon Workman, who will make just the fourth start of his career in place of the injured Felix Doubront. Workman has allowed one run in 6.1 innings of relief so far this season.
