Ceddanne Rafaela is playing second base (and batting eighth) Saturday as the Red Sox look to clinch a series victory against the visiting Miami Marlins.
Jarren Duran will take over in center field, and Roman Anthony will man left.
Brayan Bello is on the bump for Boston. The righty enters the contest with a career-best 3.25 ERA over 21 games (20 starts) totaling 121.2 innings, but like Lucas Giolito, who started Friday, he’s looking to bounce-back after a tough outing in San Diego. Bello yielded five earned runs – his second-highest total in a game this season – on six hits, three walks, and struck out seven in 5.2 innings against the Padres last weekend.
