Red Sox Vs. Blue Jays Lineups: Rafael Devers Sits Once Again

The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays continue their four-game set from Fenway Park on Wednesday, with the former hoping to keep their postseason hopes alive.

Rafael Devers will not be in the lineup to aid in that effort.

Devers will start on the bench for the second consecutive game, having missed Boston's win over Toronto on Tuesday with nagging shoulder injuries. It's been an annoyance all season for the 27-year-old, who has now missed three games over the last three weeks.

"He's not getting worse, but he's not getting any better," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday. "So last night, I talked to him before Game 2 (of the doubleheader) and told him to just let me know."

Connor Wong will return to the lineup, replacing Danny Jansen behind the dish. Romy Gonzalez will once again get the start at third base, sliding to the eight hole, with Wong batting seventh. Boston didn't make any other changes.

The Sox and Jays are scheduled to take the field at Fenway Park at 7:10 p.m. ET, and the action can be seen on NESN following an hour of pregame coverage.
