BOSTON -- With Mookie Betts sidelined because of a concussion suffered Tuesday night, Jackie Bradley Jr. is back in Boston . . . and back in center field for the Red Sox.
But while Bradley may be replacing Betts in the field, he's not taking his spot in the batting order. Betts is the Sox' leadoff hitter, but Bradley will be hitting ninth against White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana as Boston attempts to turn things around against Chicago, which has won the first two games of the four-game series.

Brock Holt, 2B
Xander Bogaerts, SS
