News and notes: Beckett will miss start Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff May 11, 2010 03:10 PM Josh Beckett's medical tests came back OK from Mass General, but Terry Francona decided that Beckett will miss Friday's start vs. Detroit. "Beckett went over and got examined this morning. I think we wanted to make sure that everything muscular was ok, which it is. That's good. He's got a spasm in his lower back. Just have to let it relax a little bit. In all likelihood he will not pitch on Friday. Because of Wake going tomorrow with a day off (Thursday), we can go stay right in order. Everybody still gets an extra day," Francona said. So it would be Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester and Daisuke Matsuzaka in Detroit. Asked whether Beckett might be plugged in before his next start comes up, Francona said, "I think it's a possibility (slip him in before his next time comes up). We don't know. He could show up tomorrow and feel great. But what we don't want him to do is pitch with a sore back and exaserbate something." Today would have been Beckett's second side session after his disasterous outing vs. New York. Beckett also hurt his back while taking BP with the other pitchers on Monday.

More from the Globe: State of the Sox: The Sox have won two straight, six of eight and 13 of their last 20. Home cooking: The Sox are 5-2 on a homestand that has two games left. They have won nine of their last 13 games at home. Dice-OK: Matsuzaka has sure had a weird 10 innings since he came of the disabled lost. If you add up his last inning against Baltimore on April 24 and his first inning against the Angels on May 6 you get 1.2 innings, 8 hits, 10 earned runs. The rest of his two outings? 8.1 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run. Add them together and you get a 9.90 ERA, which stinks. But at least there are signs that he has the ability to get outs. Tonight will be an interesting test for him. Down on the farm: Mike Cameron is set to play center field for Pawtucket tonight. He was 1 for 3 with a double and a walk as the DH last night and scored from second on a single. Beating on the Blue Jays: The Sox are 4-0 against the Jays this season but have outscored them by only five runs. Hot hitters: Marco Scutaro has hit safely in 13 of the last 14 games. ... Kevin Youkilis has a nine-game hitting streak going. ... Adrian Beltre is 23 of 61 (.377) with 12 RBI over 15 games.

:lol:

What a miracle! Goodnight all! Be safe and sleep well.

My bad. It happens sometimes to all of us. Paps closes it out! Sox WIN!!!!!!!!!

Yeah right . More like 5'6 or 5'7. Saw him play SS in Richmond when he was w/ Pawtucket.

I know 2 women who had it. I worked with a girl that took about a month or so off to deal with it.

Shocker, Hermida w/ a hit and 2 outs.

It is.

He's "at a place called Vertigo"

I was worried and thought some how he may get thrown out!

Come on Papi!

NO doubt. I think when Mike Lowell could barely walk he could beat VMart down the line. Dude is SOOOO slow.

To say the least. Another long game I'm afraid. Just want the WIN!

Thank you Aaron.

More runs please.

Wow. It wasn't above the red. Nice break. Now get some outs Lackey.
