The Boston Red Sox now have two outfielders battling foot injuries.

Both Hanley Ramirez and Rusney Castillo were not in the starting lineup for Saturday’s matchup with the Seattle Mariners at Fenway Park. Ramirez fouled a pitch off his foot last Friday and has not played since, and Castillo did the same during Friday night’s 15-1 win over the Mariners.

Castillo was removed from Friday’s game after the fourth inning and was replaced by Alejandro De Aza, who will start in left field Saturday. De Aza went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored after taking over for Castillo as the Red Sox enjoyed their best offensive performance of the season.

Here are the full starting lineups for Saturday’s matinee:

MARINERS (54-62)
Ketel Marte, SS
Kyle Seager, 3B
Nelson Cruz, RF
Robinson Cano, 2B
Franklin Gutierrez, LF
Austin Jackson, CF

Felix Hernandez, RHP (14-6, 3.11 ERA)

RED SOX (51-64)

Brock Holt, 2B
Xander Bogaerts, SS
David Ortiz, DH
Travis Shaw, 1B
Pablo Sandoval, 3B
Alejandro De Aza, LF
