Josh Reddick Back in Lineup as Red Sox Try to Salvage Series Finale Against White Sox Josh Reddick will get another start in right field on Wednesday afternoon when the Red Sox try to salvage the finale of a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox.

Reddick started two games last week after being recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket due to injuries to J.D. Drew and Darnell McDonald. He went 4-for-8 with three RBIs in those two starts, and had an RBI double in his only at-bat Tuesday night.

Drew has been the starter for almost every game against a right-hander, but Reddick is in there vs. righty Gavin Floyd.

Reddick is one of two Red Sox starters, along with Adrian Gonzalez, who has never faced Floyd before. David Ortiz, who had a three-run homer in Tuesday's loss, is 5-for-17 (.294) with a pair of home runs against Floyd. Carl Crawford, batting sixth, is 2-for-8 with both of the hits being homers.

Tim Wakefield is on the mound for the Red Sox. Here is the lineup card for the series finale:

Boston
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
Adrian Gonzalez, 1B
Kevin Youkilis, 3B
David Ortiz, DH
