The Boston Red Sox lineup will get a boost with Mookie Betts returning to his familiar spot at the top of the order.
Betts was scratched from Saturday’s game in Philadelphia last weekend due to soreness in his foot. He would end up missing five games, including both games against the Phillies and a brief three-game homestand against the San Francisco Giants.
It’s unclear exactly when Betts was injured but it’s believed that the soreness was the result of playing on the artificial surface in Toronto. Betts last appeared in the three games against the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.
