The American League West side boasts a strong pitching staff, but manager Alex Cora\u00a0was optimistic\u00a0that his side\u2019s hitting slump would quickly turn around.<\/p>\n<p>Cora will start Ceddanne Rafaela at center field after taking a day off. He\u2019ll bat in the eight-hole ahead of catcher Carlos Narv\u00e1ez. That means Kristian Campbell moves back to second base, and he\u2019ll bat sixth ahead of Triston Casas. Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu also will swap the fourth and fifth spots in the order to try to help the shortstop break his hitless streak.<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Houck will start Friday night. The right-hander is coming off a no-decision outing against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park last Sunday, where he gave up two runs off three hits and recorded seven strikeouts in six innings.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s matchup against the Cleveland Guardians also will mark Cora\u2019s 1,000th game as Red Sox manager.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nesn-in-content-ad\">\n<p>First pitch for the Red Sox-Guardians matchup at Progressive Field is scheduled at 7:10 p.m. ET on Apple TV+.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RED SOX (14-13)<\/strong><br \/>\nJarren Duran, LF<br \/>\nRafael Devers, DH<br \/>\nAlex Bregman, 3B<br \/>\nTrevor Story, SS<br \/>\nWilyer Abreu, RF<br \/>\nKristian Campbell, 2B<br \/>\nTriston Casas, 1B<br \/>\nCeddanne Rafaela, CF<br \/>\nCarlos Narv\u00e1ez, C<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Houck, RHP (0-2, 7.66 ERA)<\/p>\n<div class=\"nesn-in-content-ad\">\n<p><strong>GUARDIANS (14-10)<\/strong><br \/>\nSteven Kwan, LF<br \/>\nNolan Jones, RF<br \/>\nJos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez, 3B<br \/>\nKyle Manzardo, DH<br \/>\nCarlos Santana, 1B<br \/>\nBo Naylor, C<br \/>\nGabriel Arias, SS<br \/>\nDaniel Schneemann, 2B<br \/>\nAngel Mart\u00ednez, CF<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox look to end a two-game losing streak when their six-game road trip begins Friday.
