More from the Globe: Rays vs. Buchholz: Longoria 5-20, Scott 3-19, Zobrist 3-15, Pena 2-15, Joyce 1-5, Molina 3-5, Brignac 0-3, Rodriguez 0-2. Sox vs. Hellickson: Gonzalez 2-9, Ortiz 4-10, Pedroia 2-10, Youkilis 1-7, Saltalamacchia 1-6, McDonald 1-1. Stat of the Day: Manager Joe Maddon is one win away from 500 with Tampa Bay. Only four active managers have 500 wins with their current team: Charlie Manuel (Phillies) Mike Scioscia (Angels), Ron Gardenhire (Twins), and Jim Leyland (Tigers). Notes: Buchholz faced the Rays in his final game of the 2011 season, on June 16. He went five innings, allowing one run on two hits then was lost for the season with a back injury. He is 4-2, 1.81 in eight career starts against the Rays, never allowing more than three earned runs. Buchholz faced them just that one time last season ... Hellickson is pitching despite a scary incident in Detroit Wednesday when he was hit in the head by a batted ball while throwing in the bullpen during batting practice ... The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year pitched well against the Sox last season, going 2-1, 3.38 in four starts. He as 2-0, 2.45 in two starts at Fenway ... Sweeney has hit safely in all six games he has played in this season at 9 of 21 with four RBIs ... The Sox have not won consecutive games since sweeping a doubleheader from Oakland last Aug. 27.

Hope BTR is ok. If we lose today we'll have to kick his ass!

Ellsbury may avoid surgery on shoulder Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff April 14, 2012 02:20 PM The Red Sox officially placed Jacoby Ellsbury on the 15-day disabled list this afternoon. Here's the statement from the team: “Jacoby injured his right shoulder during yesterday’s game. An MRI was performed and showed findings consistent with a subluxed shoulder. We are in the process of gathering further information and determining the treatment plan. Jacoby will be placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to today’s game.” Bobby Valentine said he has not heard the word "surgery" in the team's discussions about Ellsbury. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are probably not done with their roster juggling. The team will carry 13 pitchers today but it sounds like outfielder Jason Repko will be coming up on Sunday. Repko, who has 355 games of major league experience, did not play for six days with Triple-A Pawtucket because of a minor injury. But he is in the lineup today in Rochester, playing center field.
