While Moncada will not start Friday night's game, manager John Farrell said he will get the majority of the starts at third base against right-handed starters moving forward, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox's plans for Moncada seemed somewhat uncertain when he was not included in Friday's starting lineup, but Farrell said that he simply wanted to give Moncada a day to get acclimated to life in the big leagues before inserting him into the starting group. Farrell is planning to use Aaron Hill at third base against left-handed starters, and will likely still mix in Travis Shaw at the position from time to time, but Moncada will be in the lineup for Saturday's game, and frequently thereafter.
