The Red Sox and Blue Jays begin a four-game series
The Boston Red Sox will continue their seven-game homestand at Fenway Park on Monday night as they welcome the Toronto Blue Jays for the first of four contests.
Boston is coming off a series win over the Cleveland Guardians, which marked the club’s fourth series win in its last five sets. The Blue Jays earned a series victory against the Seattle Mariners over the weekend and have won their last four.
Kiké Hernández will be back at shortstop for the Red Sox after missing the previous two games. Triston Casas and Reese McGuire return to their spots at first base and catcher, respectively.
