Ceddanne Rafaela Rests In Both Games Of Friday's Twin Bill

Ceddanne Rafaela sat out both games of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs. Rafaela recently suffered a right hamstring cramp on Wednesday against the Guardians—his very first game back from a right quad strain—and is likely dealing with lingering effects from the hamstring issue. While initially expected to return for the nightcap after resting the afternoon tilt, he remained out of the lineup. The Red Sox may also be playing it safe with their playoff seeding already set.
