| Player Notes |
| October 3, 2007 Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett pitched his second postseason shutout in as many appearances as he blanked the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a 4-0 victory. Game 1 of the Division Series was Beckett's first postseason start since shutting out the Yankees in the 2003 World Series finale. Beckett struck out eight and retired 19 in a row at one point. |
| June 21, 2007 Josh Beckett will start Sunday at San Diego, taking the spot that Curt Schilling was initially going to occupy. Schilling is headed for the DL with a sore shoulder. |
| May 29, 2007 Josh Beckett returned from the disabled list to win his eighth consecutive decision, allowing the Indians just two runs on three hits over seven innings on Tuesday. He faced the minimum number of batters in the first six innings and struck out seven in the game. |
| May 27, 2007 Josh Beckett threw 70 pitches in a side session on Saturday. Afterward, he pronounced himself ready to start Tuesday's game, according to the Boston Globe. He had his blistered finger bandaged as a precaution. "Obviously, we want to be smart with this thing," Beckett said. Get him back in your lineup for next week and hope blisters don't become a recurring theme. |
| May 22, 2007 Josh Beckett, on the DL with a finger injury, played catch without a Band-Aid Tuesday and will throw a five-inning simulated game in the bullpen Wednesday. "He's doing very well," manager Terry Francona said. "There's no setback, nor do we expect there to be any." Beckett is scheduled to return from the DL next Tuesday to start against the Indians, according to the AP. |
| May 18, 2007 Josh Beckett has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Monday, the Providence Journal reports. Beckett is expected to miss two starts due to his finger injury. Devern Hansack has been recalled from Pawtucket to start Friday's game with Atlanta. |
| May 17, 2007 Josh Beckett is going to miss at least a couple of starts due to a finger injury. The Red Sox are expected to place him on the disabled list Friday and recall Devern Hansack to start against the Braves, according to the AP. Beckett has a torn flap of skin on his right middle finger. The injury itself would be fairly minor if it wasn't happening to a pitcher with a long history of blister problems. Keep your own fingers crossed that this isn't a sign of things to come the rest of the season. |
| May 16, 2007 Josh Beckett will miss his Friday night start against the Braves because of the avulsion on his right middle finger, the Red Sox official site reports. Beckett will throw a side session on Friday. If that goes well, it's conceivable he could be slotted back into the rotation during the early part of next week. However, the Red Sox are committed to being careful with Beckett and did not yet dismiss the chance that he could land on the disabled list. The Red Sox will recall a replacement starter in time for Friday's game with Atlanta; Kason Gabbard and Devern Hansack are possible options. |
| May 16, 2007 Early indications are that Josh Beckett will not pitch this weekend against the Braves because of a cut on his right middle finger, according to the Boston Herald. |
| May 16, 2007 The Red Sox are encouraged by the improvement Josh Beckett has shown in the two days since exiting his start on Sunday with an avulsion on his right middle finger, the team's official site reports. Beckett played catch and did some throwing off a mound Tuesday, though it's still too early to know if he'll make his scheduled start Friday against the Braves. Beckett was also examined by a specialist before Tuesday's game. "He got a good report," Terry Francona said. |
| May 14, 2007 Josh Beckett is hoping not to miss his next start due to an avulsion on his right middle finger, but whether or not he will be able to take the ball this weekend definitely seems up in the air at this point, according to the Boston Globe. Beckett had to leave Sunday's start after four innings when he felt a piece of skin on the finger tear away. "I have had one of these before," Beckett said. "It seems to react a little bit better [than blisters]. There's two things we've got to do, we've got to get it to dry out because you've got fresh skin, then you've got to toughen it up. What the timetable is, I'm not sure what we're looking at. Hopefully I can make my next start, but that's a big hopefully." |
| May 13, 2007 Josh Beckett left his start after four innings on Sunday due to a torn flap of skin on his right middle finger, according to the AP. Prior to his departure, Beckett allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven. He was attempting to tie a franchise record with a victory in his first eight starts. |
