Xander Bogaerts, who sat out Saturday's game after being hit in the wrist with a pitch Friday, is back in the lineup as the Red Sox face the Astros tonight in the rubber game of their series in Houston.
Henry Owens makes his 2016 Sox debut, filling in for the injured Joe Kelly. Tonight's start may go a long way determining if he gets another, as Boston looks for someone to hold the rotation spot until Eduardo Rodriguez returns.

RED SOX
