Red Sox Vs. White Sox Lineups: Ceddanne Rafaela Returns

The Red Sox look to get back on track Friday, as they meet the Chicago White Sox for the beginning of a three-game series at Fenway Park.

Yes, those Chicago White Sox.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora won't make too many changes to his order ahead of a series against one of the worst baseball teams ever, with Ceddanne Rafaela's insertion at shortstop serving as the only personnel difference. Tyler O'Neill and Wilyer Abreu will swap spots in the order, batting third and fourth, respectively.

Rafaela replaces Nick Sogard.

The Sox (x2) are scheduled to take the field at Fenway Park at 7:10 p.m. ET, and the action can be seen on NESN following 90 minutes of pregame coverage. We've got the projected lineups here.
