Marcelo Mayer News: Idle against lefty Sunday

Mayer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

The Red Sox have faced left-handed starting pitchers in all three games of the series with the Yankees, and Mayer has been on the bench for two of them. The rookie will cede third base to Abraham Toro on Sunday as the Red Sox look to get some extra right-handed bats in the lineup.
