Can the Sox open this brave new Craig-free era with a win and avoid a sweep against the Jays?
It has been a very busy 18 hours or so for the Red Sox since the end of yesterday's game, having optioned Allen Craig and Robbie Ross in favor of Jackie Bradley, Jr. and Steven Wright. Bradley, Jr. will see the lineup, while Wright will presumably be in the bullpen for the time being.
However, the main order of business for the day is to win against the Jays and avoid a series sweep.
Here are your lineups:
