Friday’s Red Sox lineup features several names who have been absent from camp for nearly two weeks.
Nate Eaton and Tsung-Che Cheng are both back in the lineup for the first time since they left Fort Myers to take part in the World Baseball Classic. Eaton, who is batting sixth and playing right field, played for Great Britain while Cheng, batting seventh and serving as the designated hitter, was a member of Team Chinese Taipei.
They will help the Red Sox take on the Tampa Bay Rays at JetBlue Park.
Johan Oviedo is back on the mound for his fourth spring outing, and Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer are in the top two spots playing third and second base, respectively. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will get the start at shortstop and Andruw Monasterio will start at first, his latest audition for the potential backup first base job while Romy Gonzalez and Triston Casas are sidelined.
Friday’s game will not be televised and can be followed exclusively on WEEI 850 AM.
