De Aza started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Friday night's win over the Royals. He has hit safely in three straight games, going 5-for-11 with three extra base hits, two runs and four RBI. De Aza has started three of the past four and six of the last eight games, as it looks like Red Sox manager John Farrell has moved him ahead of Rusney Castillo for the moment. Once Dustin Pedroia (knee), Farrell will probably use right field to get Brock Holt at-bats, so De Aza's run of starts is not open ended.
