With Pablo Sandoval on the bench for violating the team's ban on using social media duing a game, and Dustin Pedroia sidelined by the knee issue suffered earlier in the week, the Red Sox lineup has a vastly different look tonight in Atlanta against the Braves.
Brock Holt moves to second base and takes Pedroia's leadoff spot. and Travis Shaw will play third base and bat seventh. David Ortiz, who sat out Wednesday night's game against Atlanta left-hander Alex Wood, is playing first base with righty Shelby Miller on the mound. Mike Napoli is getting the night off.
