Before the 2026 World Baseball Classic officially begins, the Red Sox will face Team Puerto Rico in an exhibition contest on Tuesday night.

Boston will move forward without key players like Wilyer Abreu (Venezuela), Roman Anthony (United States) and Jarren Duran (Mexico), as they are preparing to participate in the WBC. Those openings in the lineup will give other Red Sox players more chances to make an impact during spring training.

Jake Bennett will take the mound for his second appearance in a Boston uniform. The left-hander threw 1 1/3 innings against Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing three hits and one earned run with one strikeout.

Here is everything you need to know about Red Sox vs. Puerto Rico, including TV and streaming options for Tuesday’s game.
