Lowell to return Tuesday

All indications point to the Red Sox activating Mike Lowell from the disabled list prior to the start of Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays.
Lowell finished up a three-game rehab assignment yesterday, going 3-for-13 with three RBIs during the three games.
“I don’t have any pain,” Lowell said. “Overall, I feel pretty good. I passed the […]

Colon has setback in attempts to return

Bartolo Colon suffered a strained muscle in his side, scratching him from a minor league start and sending him to the 7-day disabled list for the Triple-A team. The strain isn’t expected to be anything serious, but it does cause a bit of concern as the right hander is trying to make it back […]

Beckett returns from disabled list to make start

As expected, the Boston Red Sox activated Josh Beckett from the 15-day disabled list to make the start for the team today against the Blue Jays.
To clear a spot on the roster, the Red Sox designated Kyle Snyder for assignment.

Kielty unsure of what future holds

When Bobby Kielty re-signed with the Red Sox, he did so thinking that the Red Sox may trade Coco Crisp, which would open up a spot for him as the team’s fourth outfielder. Now that a trade didn’t occur, Kielty is left looking for a new solution.
Kielty was reassigned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday, […]

The 2008 baseball season is underway!

With this post, baseball season has begun! I’m up early to watch the Red Sox and A’s from Japan, and no, I’m not a fan of either team.
I’m anxious to see how the Japanese crowd welcome players like Daisuke Matsuzaka, Hideki Okajima and Kurt Suzuki home.
Anything special you’re looking for out of today’s game? […]

Beckett to start on disabled list

Not much surprising news here, but Josh Beckett will be placed on the disabled list to give the team room to purchase the contract of Kevin Cash. Cash will likely serve as the personal catcher of Tim Wakefield this season.
Beckett’s DL stint will be retroactive to March 19, meaning Becket will be able to […]

According to the Boston Herald, the Red Sox will be holding a players only meeting this morning to discuss whether or not the team should go to Japan. The meeting will center around the coaches not being paid the same $40,000 that is to be paid to the players for agreeing to go to […]
