The Boston Red Sox on Sunday will roll with a lineup that might closely resemble what we’ll see Opening Day.
The Red Sox will host Grapefruit League rivals the Minnesota Twins at JetBlue Park. Boston is an underwhelming 5-10 thus far in spring training, whereas the 7-4 Twins have hit the ground running.
Left-hander Martin Perez will get the start for Boston.
As for the lineups, Kevin Pillar will bat leadoff and play in right field with J.D. Martinez filling in for Andrew Benintendi in left. Mitch Moreland will handle designated hitter duties while Michael Chavis will get the start at first base.
First pitch Red Sox-Twins is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET.
NESN’s spring training coverage is presented by John Deere.
