O'Neill (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Kansas City, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

A stomach virus has now caused O'Neill to miss five consecutive starts. The Red Sox have a scheduled off day, so O'Neill will look to return to action when the club returns home to Boston this weekend to host the Astros. Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder will patrol the outfield for the Red Sox on Wednesday.
