Victorino will return to switch-hitting in 2015, WEEI.com reports.

Analysis:

Victorino has almost exclusively hit from the right side since late in the 2013 season, but he seems to have trouble hitting right-handers from both sides of the plate. While the Red Sox expect Victorino to serve as the starting right fielder this season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the veteran lose a significant number of at-bats when the team faces right-handed pitching. The Red Sox have excellent depth in the outfield, including righty-mashing Daniel Nava.
