Jason Varitek, who has been slowed by a bout with the flu, was available to pinch-hit if needed last night against the Angels, according to The Boston Herald. Varitek hopes to return to action this weekend against the Rays.

Jason Varitek has missed the last three games due to flu-like symptoms, and won't likely start at catcher on Wednesday, according to MLB.com.

April 2, 2008
Catcher Jason Varitek went 2-for-4 today in Boston's 5-0 romp over the Oakland A's, hitting a homer in the ninth of Huston Street to complete the fun. Varitek finished with two runs scored, now touting a batting average of .250.

March 30, 2008
Jason Varitek continues to get drafted before his true value. The veteran catcher will enter the regular season with declining numbers across the board. As well, the left-handed hitter struck out in 9 of his last 11 spring at-bats. There are too many options outside of Varitek that offer fantasy owners more upside. At some point managers need to put the catcher's reputation on hold.

March 26, 2008
Jason Varitek went 0-for-4 for the second straight game against Oakland (with three more strikeouts) and remains hitless in the new season. Varitek only hit .255 in 2007 and his power numbers continue to decline, so hopefully he still has a little left in the tank.

March 25, 2008
Jason Varitek had a tough day at the plate in the Red Sox season opener against Oakland as he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. That was a brutal start from one of the league's finest catchers.
