The Boston Red Sox play the first game of their series against the Miami Marlins on Monday. Their goal will be to stay hot, as they have won each of their last three games.
The Red Sox are making some changes to their lineup for their game against the Marlins. Among their most notable changes will involve third baseman Caleb Durbin.
Boston Red Sox Announce Intriguing Caleb Durbin News
Caleb Durbin will be hitting in a new spot for the Red Sox in their series opener against the Marlins. This is because the two-year MLB veteran will be batting sixth for Boston. This comes after he was Boston’s fifth hitter in their most recent game against the San Francisco Giants.
Durbin dropping to the sixth spot is in response to catcher Adley Rutschman returning to Boston’s lineup. Meanwhile, Nick Sogard will be moving from the sixth spot in Boston’s batting order to their leadoff spot.
Here is the Red Sox’s batting order for their series opener against the Marlins.

Durbin Looking to Have Response Game vs. the Marlins
Durbin has been a very good addition to the Red Sox’s roster this season, but he had a tough game in his most recent appearance. He went 0-for-4 with Boston in their most recent game against the Giants, which included one strikeout.
Although Durbin struggled at the plate in Boston’s most recent game against the Giants, it is clear that he has the potential to change that against the Marlins. He is a very solid hitter when playing at his best, and it is going to be interesting to see if he can have a response game for Boston from here.
