Red Sox Vs. Blue Jays Lineups: Danny Jansen Starts In Toronto

Jansen started on Sunday

The Red Sox can (technically) keep their playoff hopes alive Tuesday, as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Danny Jansen will get the start opposite his former team.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora isn’t making a few more tweaks outside of that, also inserting Romy Gonzalez and Masataka Yoshida into the lineup. Jansen will bat eighth, Gonzalez will bat second and Yoshida will bat fifth.

Tyler O’Neil, Connor Wong and Nick Sogard will get the night off.

Jarren Duran will hold onto his spot at the top of the lineup, while Vaughn Grissom moves up a few spots. Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu will each slide down a few spots, with Ceddanne Rafaela rounding things out.

The Sox and Jays are scheduled to take the field up north at 7:07 p.m. ET, and the action can be seen on NESN following an hour of pregame coverage. We’ve got the projected lineups here.
