HUNTER RENFROE NEWS

Dealing with soreness Renfroe isn't starting Saturday against the Orioles since he's feeling sore, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Renfroe didn't start Thursday's series opener against Baltimore, and he'll remain sidelined through the remainder of the weekend series as a precautionary measure. Alex Verdugo is shifting to right field while Christian Arroyo starts at second base Saturday

Not starting Thursday Renfroe is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against Baltimore, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Renfroe has started against all three of the lefties the Red Sox have faced this season, but he finds himself on the bench against a righty (Matt Harvey) for the second time in four opportunities. Early indications seem to be that he'll have something in between a platoon role and a true everyday position. Alex Verdugo slides to right field in his absence, with Enrique Hernandez starting in center.

Faces right-hander Renfroe went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 11-2 win over the Rays.

Impact Renfroe was in the lineup against a right-hander for the first time this season. The first time Boston faced a righty, the second game of the season, manager Alex Cora made several lineup changes, one of which was removing Renfroe. It wasn't clear at the time whether Cora, who talked after that game about the lineup flexibility he has, was going to sit Renfroe against same-handed pitchers. Apparently, that's not the case.

Impact At first glance, it was thought the right-handed hitting Renfroe would have a near-daily spot in the lineup, but his playing time will be significantly reduced if he's largely limited to left-handed starters. Alex Verdugo moved from center to right field Saturday while Enrique Hernandez shifted from second base to center. Marwin Gonzalez went from left field to second base, and Franchy Cordero patrolled left.

Out of Saturday's lineup Renfroe is not in Saturday's lineup against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact He went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's opener, and will head to the bench with righty Matt Harvey on the hill for Baltimore. Marwin Gonzalez will start at second base while Enrique Hernandez moves to the outfield. Renfroe could garner a near everyday role, but he will need to keep his head above water against same-handed pitching.

Knocks in run Renfroe went 1-for-2 with an RBI-single in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact Renfroe made his fourth spring start, all in right field, and is a cumulative 3-for-7 with a double, a run scored and four RBI. He's expected to serve as a starting corner outfielder, but manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com that he values Alex Verdugo's defense in right field at Fenway Park. If Verdugo moves from center to right field at home, Renfroe (three career games in CF) could move to left field (123 games) while Franchy Cordero patrols center (43 career starts) for games on the road.
