Kevin Youkilis returns to the lineup, but designated hitter David Ortiz will remain in the cleanup spot when the Red Sox host the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.

Youkilis is back at third base following a three-game absence as he dealt with a sore hip. Jacoby Ellsubry, Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez occupy the first three spots in the batting order.

Right fielder Josh Reddick bats sixth, right behind Youkilis, followed by Carl Crawford and Marco Scutaro. Jarrod Saltalamacchia bats ninth and will do the catching for Tim Wakefield (6-6, 5.03 ERA), making his eighth attempt at career win No. 200.

Right-hander Brandon Morrow (9-10, 5.12) takes the hill for the Blue Jays, who took three of four from the Red Sox last week and hope for similar success in this two-game set.

First pitch from Fenway Park is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET.
