Red Sox vs. Blue Jays lineups: Moving and shaking up

The Red Sox and the Blue Jays, both of whom are tied with the Yankees atop the AL East at 6-5, face off again tonight at Fenway Park as Nick Pivetta looks to right the ship against José Berríos and the Blue Jays (7:10 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market).

Both Pivetta and Berríos are trying to shake off rusty starts — the Blue Jays righty’s ERA is 11.81, worse even than Pivetta’s 9.39. Does this mean we’re in for a pitcher’s duel? If yesterday’s missed chances indicate anything, it sure seems possible.

The lineup is still ravaged by COVID behind the plate, where Connor Wong gets his second straight start at catcher. There’s also a minor switch in the middle of the lineup, with J.D. Martinez batting third and Xander Bogaerts sliding to fourth. Interesting!

The Blue Jays roll out a similar lineup to Tuesday’s, but with Cavan Biggio, yet another son of a legend, batting ninth and playing first. They have a type!
