Josh Beckett tweaked his back in batting practice yesterday and may miss his start on Friday. His start was pushed back from Wednesday to give him the chance to throw a side session.
J.D. Drew had another bout of vertigo before last night’s game and was a late scratch:
“He got real dizzy before the game,” said Francona. “He’s had bouts with vertigo [before] and he had a pretty good bout going. It looked like he just got off a boat. He tried to get up in the fifth inning and move around because he was starting to feel better, but when he did that he didn’t feel so good. This has happened before. We’ll keep any eye on him.”
