MEDICAL WATCH:

--SS Marco Scutaro (right rotator cuff inflammation) did not play Sept. 6. He moved to second base Sept. 7 to ease the burden on his shoulder, and he left the game once it turned into a blowout.

--2B Dustin Pedroia (broken bone in left foot) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Aug. 19. The same ailment had kept him out from June 26-Aug. 16. He had season-ending surgery Sept. 3.

--OF Jacoby Ellsbury (ribs) went on the 15-day disabled list Aug. 14. An MRI showed "new trauma" in Ellsbury's rib cage, according to manager Terry Francona. Francona indicated on Aug. 18 that he thinks the injury might be season-ending.

--OF Mike Cameron (abdominal tear) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 31. He had season-ending surgery Aug. 27, and he should be ready for spring training.

--1B Kevin Youkilis (torn muscle in right thumb) went on the 15-day disabled list Aug. 3. He had season-ending surgery Aug. 6. He expressed hope on Aug. 17 he could return in October if the Red Sox reached the postseason, but the prospect was considered a long shot.
