Red Sox vs. Yankees lineups: Henry Owens debuts

Henry Owens will make his first MLB start Tuesday night in New York as the Red Sox take on the Yankees.

With Owens on the mound, Blake Swihart becomes the obvious choice to start behind the plate, given their role as teammates earlier in the year. Hanigan is the more experienced defensive catcher, yes, but given the personal enormity of a debut, maximizing familiarity and comfort takes priority.

Also present is Pablo Sandoval, making his return to the starting lineup after a few games out with injury. Sad to say, but after Travis Shaw's big game, most would probably consider this bad news for the Red Sox.

First pitch is at 7:05 pm with broadcasts on NESN, the MLB Network, and WEEI.
