Red Sox Vs. Mariners Lineups: Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez Back For Series Opener

The lineup has slowly replenished itself

The Boston Red Sox lineup is starting to look whole again.

Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez both are both in the order Monday for a series opener against the Seattle Mariners, batting third and fifth, respectively.

Leadoff hitter Kiké Hernández returns to center field, resuming the Red Sox’s best outfield combination of him, Alex Verdugo and Hunter Renfroe. Kyle Shwarber hits second and will take over at first base, while Christian Vázquez is back behind the plate.
