    Jon Lester will be the Opening Day starter when the Boston Red Sox face the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Monday (ESPN, 1 p.m. ET).

    "The way he was lined up, he was probably targeted all along," manager John Farrell said Wednesday, "but at the same time, we didn't want that to be a focal point. His work that was needed and the adjustments he has continued to reinforce and repeat on the mound were the priorities, and we felt like it was important to focus on the needs of spring training for every pitcher, including Jon."
