LOS ANGELES (AP) — While the Red Sox wait to see whether J.D. Martinez can start Game 3 of the World Series, this much is true: Don’t take any bets on Boston shifting a star outfielder to the infield.
“Mookie Betts at second? No, he’s not playing second base. Well, he’s not starting at second base,” manager Alex Cora said Thursday.
The Red Sox lead 2-0, and there’s been a lot of speculation about what they will do Friday night when the designated hitter spot is dropped at Dodger Stadium.
Martinez is Boston’s main DH and led the majors with 130 RBIs.
