Red Sox vs. Indians: Hanley starts in left, Castillo sits

Hanley Ramirez is in left field, with Rusney Castillo the odd man out in Boston's outfield Monday night as the Red Sox take on the Indians.

Alright, so there's two possibilities.

1) Rusney Castillo is sitting because the Red Sox want to take it slow with him after he hurt himself against Seattle the other day.

2) Rusney Castillo is sitting because Hanley Ramirez is the starting left fielder and there was no room left for all three of Betts, Bradley, and himself.

In the first scenario, all is well! It's perhaps more caution than is really called for under the circumstances, but hey, safe is better than sorry, and the day he missed on Saturday didn't hurt him any, since he came right back with a homer and a single on Sunday.
