Report Red Sox Closing Secret Deal To Sign Phillies MVP In A Blockbuster Trade

On Wednesday at Fenway Park, the Red Sox will try to square their three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Tyler O’Neill will support Boston in its endeavors. With Rob Refsnyder, Jarren Duran, and Ceddanne Rafaela still manning the outfield, O’Neill will be the designated hitter. First baseman Bobby Dalbec will start, marking his first appearance since formally defeating Garrett Cooper in the depth chart, who was designated for assignment on Tuesday. In addition, Jamie Westbrook will start at second base in place of Enmanuel Valdez.

The starting lineup will be Duran, Refsnyder, O’Neill, and Rafael Devers, with Dalbec, Westbrook, and Connor Wong in the center. Rafaela will be in the nine-hole on Tuesday, while David Hamilton will slip to the eight after batting second. Pitching for the first time at Fenway, Nick Pivetta will face his former team.

After an hour of pregame coverage, the Sox and Phils are set to play at Fenway Park at 7:10 p.m. ET on NESN. Here are the anticipated lineups.
