UP NEXT:
Red Sox RHP Hector Velazquez (7-2, 3.24) will make only his seventh start of the season when the three-game series ends Wednesday. He has made 33 relief appearances.
Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz (10-9, 2.80) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings during a 7-1 win at Boston on May 27 in his only previous appearance against the Red Sox.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Red Sox: LHP David Price (bruised left wrist) was confirmed to start Friday's opening game of a home series against Houston. ... 3B Rafael Devers (strained left hamstring) was activated from the 10-day DL. ... LHP Chris Sale (left shoulder inflammation) could return in Boston's upcoming homestand. He has been out since Aug. 15.
Braves: SS Dansby Swanson left after he was hit on his helmet by an 85 mph slider from Porcello in the second inning. Swanson was knocked to the ground but rose quickly before being examined by a member of the Braves' medical staff. Charlie Culberson entered as a pinch-runner and remained in the game at shortstop.
HITTING ZEROS:
Infielder Brandon Phillips, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Pawtucket, is the first player in Red Sox history to wear No. 0. He wore No. 4 in his career with Cincinnati and last season with the Braves, but that number is retired by the Red Sox for Joe Cronin. Phillips, whose major league salary is $600,000, may start on Wednesday, according to manager Alex Cora.
