The Boston Red Sox are gearing up for a six-game homestand but face challenges with key players missing. Kristian Campbell remains sidelined due to rib discomfort, with David Hamilton taking over at second base. Manager Alex Cora hinted Campbell might return by Saturday. Brayan Bello will start his third game this season against the Minnesota Twins, filling in for the injured Walker Buehler, who is on the IL due to shoulder inflammation. Catcher Connor Wong returns to the lineup after a three-week absence from a broken finger. Wilyer Abreu continues to impress, batting fourth for the eleventh time this season.

The matchup showcases promising talents on both teams, with Bello boasting a 2-0 record and a 3.27 ERA going against Twins' Joe Ryan, who has a 3.18 ERA. The Red Sox's lineup includes key hitters like Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman, while the Twins feature stars like Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton. As the season progresses, fans are eager to see how the Red Sox manage their roster dynamics amid injuries and performance expectations, particularly with prop bets surrounding players like Bregman.
