Red Sox Vs. Rays Lineups: Walker Buehler Starts, Outfielder Returns

The Red Sox will try to even their three-game series with the Rays on Tuesday evening in Tampa Bay.

Walker Buehler vies to lead Boston to a bounce-back performance after Monday’s horror show at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Buehler is coming off a solid outing against a potent Toronto Blue Jays lineup in which he only allowed one run on four hits over 6 1/3 innings. He’ll be opposed by fellow right-hander Ryan Pepiot, who only allowed a combined six runs over his first three starts.

Alex Cora will deploy a similar lineup to the starting nine used for the series opener, with a few tweaks. Ceddanne Rafaela’s return to center field moves Kristian Campbell back to second base, and the rookie also will leapfrog Triston Casas in the batting order.

Here are the full lineups for Tuesday’s Red Sox-Rays game, which will have full coverage on NESN beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
