Boston Red Sox vs Chicago White Sox Starting Lineup — Thursday, Jul 9, 2026
Final Lineups
Boston Red Sox @ Chicago White Sox · Thursday, Jul 9, 2026
Anthony Kay will be facing a completely unfamiliar group. Anthony Seigler, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Romy Gonzalez, Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, Nate Eaton, Brett Harris, and Connor Wong all have no MLB history vs this pitcher. That leaves the away side with no established batter-versus-pitcher track record to lean on tonight.
Patrick Sandoval is in the same spot against the home lineup. Chase Meidroth, Randal Grichuk, Miguel Vargas, Colson Montgomery, Junior Perez, Sam Antonacci, Braden Montgomery, Luisangel Acuña, and Drew Romo all have no MLB history vs this pitcher. There are no prior matchup results here either, so the home side also enters without any direct familiarity.
Neither side has more familiar hitters against the opposing starter, because both lineups are entirely without MLB history in these matchups. This game sets up as a clean slate from a batter-versus-pitcher standpoint.
