The Red Sox will feature an altogether new look in their banged up outfield when they face the Los Angeles Dodgers at Fenway Park late Saturday afternoon.

With regular right fielder J.D. Drew sidelined with a right hamstring injury, the trio of Bill Hall, Daniel Nava and Darnell McDonald will be paired in the starting lineup for the first time.

The threesome will take up the final third of the Boston lineup against Dodgers righty Vicente Padilla.

The 3-4-5 hitters in the Sox lineup — David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis and Victor Martinez — are a combined 16-for-41 (.390) with eight doubles against Padilla.

Here is the complete Boston lineup:

Marco Scutaro, SS
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Victor Martinez, C
Adrian Beltre, 3B
Bill Hall, RF
Daniel Nava, LF
Darnell McDonald, CF
