Rafaela (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
It's the second consecutive absence for Rafaela after he exited Wednesday's game against the Mariners due to quad tightness. There's been no suggestion yet the 25-year-old will need an IL stint, however. Eli White is picking up a second straight start in center field for Boston.
