FORT MYERS, Fla. \u2014 It\u2019s Crochet Day at JetBlue Park.<\/p>\n
Garrett Crochet will make his first start of the spring this afternoon when the Red Sox host the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n
Aroldis Chapman is also scheduled to make his spring debut, and Greg Weissert, Jovani Moran, Payton Tolle, Wyatt Olds and Devin Sweet are expected to take the mound as well.<\/p>\n
As Alex Cora previously announced, Caleb Durbin will play second base for the first time in game action after largely focusing on third through the first few weeks of camp. The expectation is Marcelo Mayer will make his spring debut on Friday, also at second base, and a decision on what position the two will play should be forthcoming shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n
Willson Contreras is back in the lineup batting third, Connor Wong is catching, and Kristian Campbell is set to start as the designated hitter.<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s game will not be televised but is being broadcast by WEEI 850 AM.<\/p>\n
