News
Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine went on WEEI radio before Wednesday's game against the Orioles to talk about his current lineup alignment that features Adrian Gonzalez in right field, Kevin Youkilis at first base and Will Middlebrooks at third base. Valentine acknowledged that Gonzalez playing right field isn't "an everyday solution." Valentine agreed with general manager Ben Cherington's assessment that Youkilis will return to being the team's third baseman, and that Middlebrooks will spend some time on the bench and might be demoted back to the minors. "I totally am on board with Ben's take, and Kevin's going to play third base," Valentine said. "I think we just have a situation where we have to play this by ear. This isn't something that was planned out over the winter or even was planned out last week or two weeks ago when Will first came up and Kevin first went on the disabled list. This is a work in progress. We'll adjust to it as the situation presents itself."

News
Boston starter Felix Doubront recorded a new career high for strikeouts on Tuesday night in Baltimore. That was the good news. The bad news was that Doubront took the loss with Brian Matusz pitching a gem to fall to 4-2 on the season. Still, Doubront was impressive in the outing as he struck out nine batters over six innings. Doubront allowed two earned runs -- both coming on a two-run homer by Steve Tolleson in the second inning -- on four hits and two walks over his six innings of work. Doubront threw 108 pitches in the start as Baltimore elevated his pitch count early. Doubront now has a 3.96 ERA on the season for Boston.

Foot - 15-day DL. Out until at least early July (Updated - 5/22/12)
News
The Red Sox have placed outfielder Cody Ross on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, reports WEEI.com. Ross was originally expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to a navicular fracture in his left foot, but the team found out Tuesday he won't need that much time. Ross has reportedly felt much better and the second opinion stated the injury isn't as bad as originally feared. “Worst-case, it’s not as bad as we thought it was yesterday,” Bobby Valentine said. “At best case, it’s much better. But at worst case, it seems like it’s a couple of weeks, not multiples.”

News
Red Sox outfielder Scott Podsednik, who was promoted from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, made his first start in the majors since Sept. 9, 2010 on Wednesday against the Orioles. Podsednik didn't let it go to waste as he homered and finished 2 for 3 with two runs. "Well, (Triple-A Pawtucket manager Arnie Beyeler) gave me a good report on his availability, what he can do and what he should do here at the major leagues, and it sounds like exactly what we need," manager Bobby Valentine said before Wednesday's game. "He'll work the count. If he gets on base, he'll cause a little havoc and maybe give us a little dimension we haven't had for a while."

News
Red Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester was able to last just four innings on Friday against the Rays, as he was done in by a trio of home runs in the third and fourth innings. The first home run was a grand slam off the bat of Matt Joyce with two out in the third, with the next two coming in the fourth inning; a two-run blast from Elliot Johnson and then a solo shot from Rays' lead-off hitter Carlos Pena. Lester would record the next two outs before being pulled, finishing with seven earned runs allowed in four innings total. He walked three and allowed six hits, while striking out four, to raise his ERA to 4.72 on the season. Lester exited the game with the Red Sox down 7-1, earning the loss in a 7-4 final to drop his record to 3-4 on the season.
