Nava went 0-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday night's loss to the Phillies. Nava made his season debut, replacing Shane Victorino in right field, because Philadelphia started right-hander Aaron Harang. The Red Sox lineup favors right-handed batters and any chance manager John Farrell has to get the left-handed hitting Nava into the lineup, he will. This is not a strict platoon, but early on we expect Farrell to take it easy on Victorino, who had surgery on his back last year.
