The Red Sox will have all available hands on deck against Scott Feldman as they try to reverse their fortunes in Texas against the AL West leading Rangers. First pitch is at 8:05 p.m. EST with broadcasts on NESN, ESPN, and WEEI.
After a couple of losses featuring less-than-full lineups, with every win now critical the Sox will go all-out against Scott Feldman, with Ryan Sweeney in place of Daniel Nava the only possible diversion from the standard depth chart. Both Will Middlebrooks and Carl Crawford will return to the lineup, with Cody Ross filling in at DH.
The only missing element is David Ortiz, and sadly, it will still be a while before the Sox can slot him in again.
