White Sox go for sweep sans Manny

The White Sox go for their first three-game sweep over the Red Sox at Fenway Park since July of 1991 today, and Manny Ramirez is not in the lineup.
Maybe he’s getting a haircut?
Boston starts Josh Beckett, who has not been healthy for much of the season. Manny has never faced the right-hander during his career.
Mark Kotsay, who is playing today, is a lifetime 5-for-17 with 3 doubles and 3 RBI vs. Beckett.
Here are the lineups:
White Sox
Pierre - LF
Vizquel - 3B
Rios - CF
Konerko - DH
Quentin - RF
Pierzynski - C
Ramirez, A. - SS
Kotsay - 1B
Beckham - 2B
Buehrle - LHP
Red Sox
McDonald - RF
Lowrie - 2B
Martinez - C
Ortiz - DH
Beltre - 3B
Lowell - 1B
Hall - LF
Navarro - SS
Kalish - CF
Beckett - RHP
