Kevin Youkilis Out of Lineup As Red Sox Look To Salvage Series Against Felix Hernandez After tweaking his hip, Kevin Youkils has been given the day off for Sunday's series finale against the Mariners.

He will be replaced at third base by Jed Lowrie, who stays in the lineup while Marco Scutaro returns at shortstop.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia will stay behind the plate to catch Tim Wakefield, who will be opposed by the reigning AL Cy Young winner, Felix Hernandez.

Otherwise, the Red Sox will be sticking with Saturday's lineup that failed to get a run across the plate despite seven base hits. Carl Crawford will again be situated in the eighth spot in the order.

Full lineups for Sunday's matchup are as follows:
