CHICAGO —
Ceddanne Rafaela
is playing second base and batting third in the
Red Sox
lineup for the first time in his career.
The Red Sox and Cubs will play the final game of their three-game series Sunday at 2:20 p.m. eastern here at Wrigley Field. Ace
Garrett Crochet
(10-4, 2.23 ERA) will start for Boston opposite Cubs righty Cade Horton (3-3, 4.45 ERA).
Boston will try to avoid a sweep before heading to Philadelphia for three games.
Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu are back in the lineup after sitting against a lefty starter Saturday.
As expected, Alex Bregman will rest today.
