Red Sox Vs. Twins Lineups: Rafael Devers Sits, Vaughn Grissom Starts

The Red Sox's playoff hopes continue to dwindle, but they can still finish the season strong and play spoiler in the middle matchup of their series against the Twins.

Minnesota outlasted Boston in extra innings at Fenway Park on Friday. The 4-2 loss resulted in frustration in the Red Sox clubhouse, and Rafael Devers' nagging shoulder injury added to that. The star slugger might be shut down for the season as he is out of the lineup in Saturday's matinee matchup.

Romy González starts at second base and will bat second ahead of Masataka Yoshida, who is back at designated hitter. Tyler O'Neill will get the day off, and Vaughn Grissom will start at second base after he was called up Friday. Danny Jansen will rotate in at catcher for starter Kutter Crawford.

The Red Sox also reinstated Luis García ahead of Saturday's matchup and optioned starter Cooper Criswell.

First pitch for Red Sox-Twins is scheduled at 4:10 p.m. ET, and you can catch full coverage on NESN, including an hour of pregame.
