According to the beauiful Heidi Watney, Youkilis tweaked his shoulder lifting weights. Francona wanted to give Youkilis the day off so that he can be back in the line up tomorrow.
However, that's not it. Apparently Lowrie is out of the lineup after he fouled a ball off his foot last Friday night. It looks like these are bot really small injuries, but with the addition of the Wakefield news, this is all a bit overwhelming to me. A win today will sure make this stress go away (at least for the time being)
Here's the starting line up:
1) Ellsbury CF
2) Pedroia 2B
3) Ortiz DH
4) Drew RF
5) Lowell 3B
6) Bay LF
7) Casey 1B
8) Varitek C
9) Cora SS
Keep the faith guys.
