Red Sox Vs. Marlins Lineups: Garrett Whitlock Starts, Alex Verdugo Returns

The Boston Red Sox welcome the Miami Marlins to Fenway Park on Tuesday for the first of their three-game set.

Boston will look to snap a two-game losing skid after dropping a series against the Chicago White Sox. Meanwhile, Miami has won three of its last four games with a series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend.

Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock will be on the mound in the series opener while the Marlins will counter with right-hander Sandy Alcantara.

Alex Verdugo will return from the bereavement list after missing the past four games. Bobby Dalbec was optioned back to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Verdugo will bat third and play right field while Jarren Duran bats leadoff and plays left field.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET, and you can watch it live on NESN after an hour of pregame coverage.
