Ceddanne Rafaela News: Getting afternoon off

Rafaela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

The Red Sox will give Rafaela a breather for the day game after a night game, ending a stretch of 19 consecutive starts for the 24-year-old during which he slashed .310/.347/.521 with four home runs and three stolen bases. Kristian Campbell will step in for Rafaela in center field.
