Carlos Narv\u00e1ez had started the last three days in Wong\u2019s place.<\/p>\n<p id=\"B3CR7QVFXNHAVDGQ5NGCLZBRIA\">Sabol, went hitless in two late game at-bats on the homestand, hit .250 (5-for-20) with two doubles in six games for the WooSox before being called up. In 123 games over three big league seasons, he\u2019s a .241 hitter with 13 homers, 45 RBIs and a .701 OPS.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6VMMM2WMONHBLK5H3FQORPIHL4\">Elsewhere in the lineup, manager Alex Cora is sticking with Triston Casas (.170 average, .512 OPS in 13 games) in the cleanup spot ahead of Trevor Story in the No. 5 spot. Kristian Campbell is hitting seventh and Ceddanne Rafaela is in the No. 9 hole.<\/p>\n<p id=\"RWDHJFVMNZHR7LRDK65J5YCOQI\">On the mound, lefty Sean Newcomb will make his third start of the season for Boston. Ex-Red Sox prospect Chase Meidroth, who was called up for his major league debut Friday, is hitting seventh and playing second base for Chicago. He was one of four prospects the Red Sox sent to the ChiSox in the Garrett Crochet blockbuster in December.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MLSOZGWWZBBPHMQKLGODHG53LY\">First pitch is at 6:40 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XAC76HZMARBXFN7RUY73K3HB5Q\"><b>BOSTON RED SOX (7-7) @ CHICAGO WHITE SOX (2-10) \u00b7 RATE FIELD \u00b7 CHICAGO, IL \u00b7 GAME 15<\/b><\/p>\n<p id=\"OEXOP52BSJAH7CP3GWYXQ4TMTI\"><b>FIRST PITCH<\/b>: 7:40 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p id=\"6O7QJCEJXJCFTLSMGJMH4JTSFA\"><b>TV CHANNEL<\/b>: NESN (Watch on FUBO)<\/p>\n<p id=\"G77AKNMHR5AKZJZHHSK425PHMY\"><b>RADIO<\/b>: WEEI 93.7 FM<\/p>\n<p id=\"XMZKW2S2B5EJXBDVSPLYZ3GJKI\"><b>PITCHING PROBABLES<\/b>: LHP Sean Newcomb (0-1, 5.19 ERA) vs. RHP Davis Martin (0-1, 5.73 ERA)<\/p>\n<p id=\"3KZ6IGD4TRFXLFSEZKSTWWJ22Q\"><b>RED SOX LINEUP:<\/b><\/p>\n<p id=\"SVFNL5YGN5DJJAR5YIEBONCS7A\">1) LF Jarren Duran<\/p>\n<p id=\"LRUO2ZA2LBFVLOTGI6YUMEFOK4\">2) DH Rafael Devers<\/p>\n<p id=\"RPWDCFO4CJFRZML3RQH55FQXNQ\">3) 3B Alex Bregman<\/p>\n<p id=\"YURQELQLJNE4NBZ2NVLD7BCLIE\">4) 1B Triston Casas<\/p>\n<p id=\"QU7UDGNSF5F7BMLBSEKQQODAV4\">5) SS Trevor Story<\/p>\n<p id=\"OYF4YYMUSJBPDAVDPKYNVIGBHE\">6) RF Wilyer Abreu<\/p>\n<p id=\"TV7MUETPZRCIVOZES6HY5BPNTI\">7) 2B Kristian Campbell<\/p>\n<p id=\"KINEF2V4VBHFXJVMRKOUJ3WHDE\">8) C Blake Sabol<\/p>\n<p id=\"QII4JZVT7BFKVDBGBLIYVPPKYI\">9) CF Ceddanne Rafaela<\/p>\n<p id=\"FQPKITZ6VZAEPKUBWDIRB5L2FQ\"><b>WHITE SOX LINEUP:<\/b><\/p>\n<p id=\"TVRWD3Y7RFFLLM2NDT3CHFJE6Y\">1) 3B Miguel Vargas<\/p>\n<p id=\"U2VSSDF7O5CHPIZGLINJ2QIZWU\">2) CF Luis Robert Jr.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FDCMYJWWNFG73HPTVP47UHD6SQ\">3) RF Austin Slater<\/p>\n<p id=\"IEV7KKAR5RF3DH5AIZKMROSWAU\">4) DH Andrew Vaughn<\/p>\n<p id=\"DSD4ZNF3BBHSJDYVE7QQRMAZHM\">5) 1B Lenyn Sosa<\/p>\n<p id=\"WIVE6GQEPFFO5PN5IRCZW37JVM\">6) LF Michael A.
