After splitting their squads on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox will once again do the same thing on Monday.
A team of what will likely be bench players plus minor leaguers for the Red Sox will head to Jupiter to take on the St. Louis Cardinals. And back in Ft. Myers, Terry Francona will trot out what appears to be the Opening Day lineup sans the starting pitcher against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The game against the Cardinals will start at 1:05 p.m. and there is no television or radio. The game against the Rays will start at 1:05 p.m. and there is also no television or radio for the game.
Michael Bowden will make the start for the Red Sox against the Cardinals and he’ll be followed by LHP Fabio Castro and RHP Ramon A. Ramirez. Kyle Lohse is scheduled to start for the Cards.
Boof Bonser will make the start for the Red Sox against the Rays and he’ll be followed by RHP Scott Atchison, and RHP Junichi Tazawa. James Shields will start for the Rays and he’ll be followed by RHP Winston Abreu, RHP Richard De Los Santos and RHP Mike Ekstrom.
