Boston Red Sox vs Chicago White Sox Starting Lineup — Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
Final Lineups
Boston Red Sox @ Chicago White Sox · Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
Anthony Seigler, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Willson Contreras, Masataka Yoshida, Caleb Durbin, Jarren Duran, Carlos Narváez, and Tsung-Che Cheng all have no MLB history against Davis Martin. That leaves Boston with an entirely unfamiliar matchup profile versus the right-hander, with no prior plate appearances anywhere in the projected order.
Miguel Vargas, Randal Grichuk, Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, Sam Antonacci, Braden Montgomery, Junior Perez, Kyle Teel, and Luisangel Acuña all have no MLB history against Jake Bennett. Chicago is in the same spot here, as every listed hitter enters without a previous major league plate appearance against the left-hander.
Neither side brings any established batter-versus-pitcher history into this game. Both lineups are essentially seeing the opposing starter for the first time at the MLB level.
