Boston Red Sox rookie Kristian Campbell has been scratched from the lineup due to discomfort in his right rib, impacting their game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 22-year-old, who has been impressive with a .301 batting average and an OPS of .902 over his first 29 games, was set to play center field and bat seventh. In his absence, Jarren Duran shifts from left to center field, while Rob Refsnyder takes his place in left. This adjustment comes ahead of the rubber match, with Tanner Houck on the mound for the Red Sox against José Berríos of the Blue Jays.

Campbell's absence is notable for a Red Sox team looking to solidify their position in the standings. His strong start has included four home runs and 12 RBIs, demonstrating his potential to contribute significantly to the team’s offensive efforts. This adjustment brings added pressure on the lineup, especially with matchups against capable pitchers like Berríos.
