Manny Ramirez will be the designated hitter and bat cleanup when he makes his return to Fenway Park Friday as the Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers open a three-game series.
The Dodgers slugger and his teammates will be facing left-hander Felix Doubront, who is making his major league debut for Boston.
Los Angeles is batting .242 against lefties, compared to .277 when facing right-handers.
