Amid all of the news regarding Chris Sale’s injury in the last 24 hours as well as the signing of Collin McHugh, the Red Sox are still chugging along playing baseball games. Today they do so at home in Fort Myers against the Astros. First pitch is set for 1:05, but unfortunately there’s no TV broadcast. You can listen in on 850 AM WEEI.
The lineup is the most interesting thing to pay attention to today, as this could be damn near what we see on Opening Day. Originally, Xander Bogaerts was in the DH slot for the second straight day with Marco Hernández at second base and a few other oddities, but Hernández was later scratched and Bogaerts was inserted at shortstop.
