Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela: Will get middle infield reps soon

Rafaela will get some innings at second base and shortstop next week, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Rafaela is still competing for the starting center field job, but he has plenty of infield experience and the Red Sox want to give him some reps there. Second base, in particular, looks like a spot at which there could be some playing time available early in the season with Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) sidelined.
