"We'll have him available [Tuesday]," said manager Terry Francona. "Then he'll have another day off [Thursday]. I think he feels OK. There's a little, I think, apprehension, but I think he's doing pretty well. We'll see how he does today." Drew has been dealing with a lower back strain. Hopefully you aren't forced to use Drew in your fantasy lineup, but if you are, it sounds like you'll be getting him back soon.
April 1, 2008

We'll just continue to monitor. That's why I played Ellsbury in right so we can have kind of backup plan there." If Drew is unable to play, then Coco Crisp would start in center field, and Jacoby Ellsbury would man right field.
March 28, 2008
J.D. Drew is doubtful to face his old Dodgers club in Friday's exhibition game due to the tight lower back that kept him out of the first two regular-season games, according to the Boston Globe.

March 25, 2008

In some mixed formats the right fielder is not even being drafted.
