Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 4, 2026
Final Lineups
Boston Red Sox @ Los Angeles Angels · Saturday, Jul 4, 2026
Boston has very little established history against Sam Aldegheri. Romy Gonzalez is the lone batter here with a hit, going 1-for-1 with a 2.000 OPS, while Ceddanne Rafaela is 0-for-1 in 1 PA with a .000 OPS and Jarren Duran is 0-for-1 in 1 PA with a .000 OPS. Anthony Seigler, Wilyer Abreu, Willson Contreras, Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Connor Wong have no MLB history vs that pitcher.
The Angels have several hitters with at least some prior exposure to Sonny Gray. Nolan Schanuel has the most encouraging line at 3-for-9 in 10 PA with a .333 average and .844 OPS, while Tyler Heineman is 2-for-2 with a 2.000 OPS in a tiny sample. Jorge Soler is 2-for-15 in 18 PA with a .133 average and .411 OPS, Josh Lowe is 2-for-7 with a .286 average and .572 OPS, and Jo Adell is 1-for-7 in 8 PA with a .143 average and .714 OPS. Donovan Walton is hitless, going 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .500 OPS, and Zach Neto, Denzer Guzman, and Wade Meckler have no MLB history vs Gray.
The Angels clearly bring more familiarity into this matchup, with multiple hitters owning at least moderate sample sizes against Gray. Boston’s side is mostly seeing Aldegheri for the first time, with only three total prior at-bats spread across the lineup.
