FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox break camp on Saturday and, as of Monday, Shane Victorino remains the starting right-fielder.

What about Rusney Castillo?

"To be determined," manager John Farrell said.

When camp opened, Farrell said that Victorino would be the team’s starting right fielder if healthy. Monday night, he was in the starting lineup in right field for the third consecutive game. Until this weekend, he had not played two straight games in right.

Is he healthy?

"Yes, he’s healthy," Farrell said. "if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be in the lineup."

So he’s the everyday right-fielder?

"As of today," Farrell said. "So there’s no reason to back away from what was previouslv stated."

The Sox still have seven rostered outfielders still in camp. At the outset, Farrell said he envisioned all seven -- Allen Craig, Hanley Ramirez, Victorino, Jackie Bradley Jr., Daniel Nava, Castillo and Mookie Betts -- to still be with the organization when the season started. Is that still the case?

"I don't have anything to suggest otherwise," Farrell said.

Does he have a better understanding of how the mix will work?

"No," he said.

Is that an issue?

"We have a roster decision to make that's looming by the time we break on Saturday," Farrell said, "and there's nothing that has been definitively made.''

The only definite starters in the outfield are Ramirez in left and Betts in center. Jackie Bradley Jr., batting .385 this spring, will likely open the season in Pawtucket to get everyday at-bats.

That leaves Castillo, Nava, Craig and Victorino. Castillo missed two weeks in camp with a strained oblique muscle, but has been a dynamic player since his return. He has a couple of home runs and eye-catching defense, including a diving catch and throw to the plate that cut down the potential go-ahead run in the 10th inning.

Victorino, 34, missed some time early in camp with leg soreness, the result, he said, of pushing it too hard in his first game. He is batting .179 with one extra-base hit in 28 at-bats. He is batting exclusively right-handed because he was experiencing some of the same left side issues that sidelined him last season.

"He has not scouted well," one talent evaluator said Monday.

Victorino had a slow spring in 2013 but was a huge contributor to the Sox title run.

In the three seasons since 2004 in which the Sox won the World Series, they got off to terrific starts: 15-6 in 2004, 16-8 in 2007, 18-8 in 2013. It could be argued that Castillo gives the Sox a better shot at winning than Victorino.

"Well, we've got a week to go," Farrell said. "Today is Vic's third consecutive game and it's abundantly clear the last two days, and the game prior, that his game intensity and game speed have picked up dramatically. He feels good again today in the early work he's doing. He's in the lineup tonight, so again, there's no roster decision today."

Nava, because he is a switch-hitter on a roster that tilts right-handed, looks likely to make the club. There have been rumors that the Sox were looking to move Craig, but he is under a team-friendly contract and could be in contention to start at first base next season, depending on whether the Sox re-sign Mike Napoli.

Victorino is owed $13 million on the last year of a three-year, $39 million deal. It has been suggested that the Sox could eat the final year of that deal. That's an option not under discussion by the Sox. The contract makes trading Victorino problematic.

So if Craig and Victorino both make the club, that leaves sending Castillo to the minors at the start of the season as the only option left.

"I would have no problem doing that," the talent evaluator said. "It's a long season. Castillo hasn't had many at-bats. Let him get some at-bats in Triple-A, then bring him back."

On Monday, while Victorino was taking batting practice, Jay-Z was blasting on the stadium PA.
