Boston Red Sox news, rumors and injuriesMon, 20 May 2013 19:23:01 -0700 Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox OF Shane Victorino (hamstring) left the team's game Monday, May 20, with left hamstring tightness. Share: Red Sox | Shane Victorino leaves game Mon, 20 May 2013 19:07:07 -0700 Boston Red Sox OF Shane Victorino (undisclosed) left the team's game Monday, May 20. Victorino was walking gingerly as he left the field. Share: Red Sox | David Ross cleared Mon, 20 May 2013 15:22:59 -0700 Boston Red Sox C David Ross (concussion) was cleared to resume throwing and hitting off a tee Monday, May 20. Fantasy Tip: Ross could return from the seven-day disabled list later this week. Ryan Lavarnway is expected to be returned to the minor leagues as a result. Share: Red Sox | Stephen Drew returns Mon, 20 May 2013 13:15:59 -0700 Boston Red Sox SS Stephen Drew (back) is returning to the lineup Monday, May 20. Share: Red Sox | Andrew Bailey activated Mon, 20 May 2013 12:44:01 -0700 The Boston Red Sox activated RP Andrew Bailey (biceps) from the 15-day disabled list Monday, May 20, and optioned RP Jose De La Torre to Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move. Fantasy Tip: Get Bailey into your weekly lineups. He'll return immediately to the closer's role, but John Farrell indicated that he probably won't pitch on back-to-back days initially. For that reason, Junichi Tazawa may retain some value in deep mixed leagues for a bit. Share: Red Sox | Franklin Morales makes rehab start Mon, 20 May 2013 11:24:13 -0700 Boston Red Sox SP Franklin Morales (pectoral) allowed five runs in four innings with Triple-A Pawtucket Sunday, May 19, and he's expected to make at least one more rehab outing. Share: Red Sox | David Ross improving Sun, 19 May 2013 14:47:33 -0700 Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell said C David Ross (concussion) is making progress and is scheduled to undergo a clearance exam Monday, May 20. Ross was scheduled to undergo the exam Saturday, May 18, but was experiencing symptoms Friday, May 17. Share: Red Sox | Andrew Bailey expected to come off DL Sun, 19 May 2013 14:30:26 -0700 The Boston Red Sox are expected to activate RP Andrew Bailey (biceps) from the 15-day disabled list Monday, May 20. Manager John Farrell said the team will be careful with Bailey until he gets back to his normal workload. Farrell said the team will initially try to avoid using Bailey on back-to-back days. Fantasy Tip: Bailey likely will regain his closer role once he rejoins the bullpen, but the team likely will be cautious with him for the first few days since he is coming back from the injury. Owners should look to add him back to their lineups. RP Junichi Tazawa likely will go back to being used in late-inning situations. Share: Red Sox | Shane Victorino, Stephen Drew out with back injuries Sat, 18 May 2013 12:31:29 -0700 Boston Red Sox OF Shane Victorino (back) and SS Stephen Drew (back) are not in the lineup against the Minnesota Twins Saturday, May 18. Share: Red Sox | David Ross not ready Fri, 17 May 2013 15:17:36 -0700 Boston Red Sox C David Ross (concussion) is still experiencing post-concussion symptoms, and his exam has been pushed back to Monday, May 20. Share: Red Sox | Shane Victorino day-to-day Fri, 17 May 2013 14:39:04 -0700 Boston Red Sox OF Shane Victorino (back) is being listed as day-to-day with a sore back. He's hoping to return Saturday, May 18. Share: Red Sox | Shane Victorino out Fri, 17 May 2013 12:48:17 -0700 Boston Red Sox OF Shane Victorino (back) is out of the lineup after aggravating his back injury Thursday, May 16. Fantasy Tip: Daniel Nava and Jonny Gomes will once again gain at-bats if Victorino is out for an extended stretch. It seems more likely that Victorino could land on the disabled list this time around. Nava, who is a switch hitter, should be your first target in deep mixed leagues. Share: Red Sox | Daniel Bard won't be demoted Fri, 17 May 2013 11:06:09 -0700 The Boston Red Sox haven't considered moving RP Daniel Bard from Double-A Portland to extended spring training despite his struggles. Bard walked five and threw only eight of his 30 pitches for strikes in one-plus inning for Portland Wednesday, May 15. Fantasy Tip: Bard appears to have hit rock bottom in his attempt to return as a relief pitcher. Don't expect to see him back in Boston any time soon, though, even with Joel Hanrahan (elbow) out for the rest of the season. Share: Red Sox | Joel Hanrahan has surgery Thu, 16 May 2013 16:42:54 -0700 Boston Red Sox RP Joel Hanrahan (elbow) wound up having Tommy John surgery on his elbow Thursday, May 16, and had his flexor tendon operated on, too. Fantasy Tip: Hanrahan is done for this season and will miss at least the first month of next season, as well. Drop him in all leagues. Share: Red Sox | Will Middlebrooks shaking slump? Thu, 16 May 2013 15:19:06 -0700 Boston Red Sox 3B Will Middlebrooks (ribs) had a double and a home run Wednesday, May 15, and although he said he's still having trouble catching his breath and sleeping on his right side, it appears as though he's coming out of a slump that had his average at .200 and his on-base percentage sitting at .231. "Whether it coincides with the collision, and I mean that with all sincerity, he's not pulling off the ball as much," manager John Farrell said. "He's staying to the middle of the field, and that's when his power really shows and the bat stays in the zone longer." Fantasy Tip: Middlebrooks has realistic 30-homer power at the hot corner, but his streakiness can become a problem for his fantasy baseball owners. He's typically been a slow starter in the minors, too, so keep that in mind. Middlebrooks' average was added by a fortunate hit rate last year, so don't expect him to repeat that. Share:  |
