Yu Chang On The Bench Saturday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang will start Saturday's contest against the Chicago Cubs on the bench. Chang opened the second half of the season on Friday at shortstop, but he'll head to the bench for this one. Enrique Hernandez will handle the 6 on Saturday and will hit in the nine-hole against Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman. The 27-year-old Chang recently returned from hamate surgery on his hand just before the All-Star break, and he'll likely continue to work as infield depth for the Red Sox. He could lose out on even more playing time once Trevor Story (elbow) makes his 2023 debut. In just 21 games so far in 2023, Chang is hitting a lowly .145 (8-for-55) with four home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs scored.
