Boston Red Sox player Blake Swihart is in the starting lineup against the Houston Astros on Thursday.
Swihart was set to rest tonight, but Dustin Pedroia was a late scratch. Swihart is playing right field, and Brock Holt will shift over to second.
Swihart is hitting just .179 on the season with a .478 OPS. We project him to hit .206 in 71 plate appearances over the rest of the season.
