Sox, Dogs lineups; new outfielders

Both the Boston Red Sox and Portland Sea Dogs have new outfielders, although neither is in the lineup.

Boston, as you have heard, welcomes Mark Kotsay to the roster, after a trade with the Braves (for Lowell outfielder Luis Sumoza). The Sea Dogs have added Jered Stanley, having been called up from low Class A Greenville.

Portland has only two healthy outfielders (Josh Reddick and Zach Daeges), with Bryan Pritz (hamstring) and Mickey Hall (concussion symptoms) out. Stanley, who hit 17 home runs in Greenville, is due in Portland at game time. Infielder Iggy Suarez, who moved to right field Tuesday, gets the start there today.

Here are the lineups:

RED SOX
Jacoby Ellsbury, RF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Jed Lowrie, 3B
Jason Varitek, C
Alex Cora, SS
Coco Crisp, CF
(Paul Byrd, P)

SEA DOGS
Argenis Diaz, SS
Jorge Jimenez, 3B
Zach Daeges, LF
Aaron Bates, 1B
Lars Anderson, DH
Mark Wagner, C
Josh Reddick, CF
Iggy Suarez, RF
Tony Granadillo, 2B
(Dustin Richardson, P)
