Apparently Mookie Betts isn't quite ready.
The right fielder will miss his fifth straight game Friday due to left side tightness as the Red Sox open a weekend series in Houston against the Astros.
Andrew Benintendi will play left field, Jackie Bradley Jr. center field and Brock Holt right field against Astros right-hander Lance McCullers.
Sandy Leon will catch Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz.
Here's the complete Red Sox lineup.
Andrew Benintendi, LF
Xander Bogaerts, SS
Mitch Moreland, 1B
J.D. Martinez, DH
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
Rafael Devers, 3B
Brock Holt, RF
Sandy Leon, C
Jackie Bradley Jr., RF
Drew Pomeranz, LHP
