Game 28: A New Era

It’s a new era of Red Sox baseball with Chad Tracy at the helm for his first game. While we won’t know for sure what will look different with Tracy in charge, here are a few quick takeaways from the lineup.

• Roman Anthony is back in the lineup and not leading off for the first time this season. He’s hitting out of the three spot, which is really stupid if you ask me, but what do I know.
• Connor Wong is catching for the second day in a row. It’s worth noting that Tracy has managed Wong previously and has not managed Carlos Narvaez outside of Spring Training. Narvaez also was benched earlier this season for presumably disciplinary issues. That’s a playing time battle to monitor going forward.
• Trevor Story is on the bench in favor of Andruw Monasterio. Story has been vocally upset about the firings. Marcelo Mayer remains at second base…for now.

1:35 pm first pitch on NESN+ (because of the Bruins) and WEEI.
