Red Sox Adjust Lineups Amid Struggles in Series vs Mets

Rookie Kristian Campbell remains out of the Red Sox lineup for the second consecutive game amid a severe slump, hitting just .078 with one home run in his past 12 games, as Boston prepares to face the red-hot Mets at Fenway Park. Manager Alex Cora will also miss Monday's game to attend his daughter's graduation, with bench coach Ramón Vázquez stepping in as interim skipper. Hunter Dobbins, a rare bright spot in an otherwise struggling Red Sox rotation, will start against Mets ace Kodai Senga, who boasts a 1.02 ERA and a dominant ghost forkball. The Red Sox have struggled to find consistency behind ace Garrett Crochet, with other starters either injured or underperforming, leaving the team in search of reliable options. Meanwhile, lineup changes see Nick Sogard and Carlos Narvaez replacing Abraham Toro and Connor Wong for the opener. The Red Sox, now 23-25 after a 10-4 loss to Atlanta, face ongoing questions about both their pitching depth and young hitters' ability to adjust to league pitching.
