The Boston Globe is reporting today that J.D. Drew will sit out of tonight's game after crashing into the wall in right field in last night's loss to the Tigers, resulting in a bruised back. This after The Boston Herald's Jeff Horrigan reports that Josh Beckett is unlikely to make his next start (scheduled for Friday), after suffering an avulsion (cut resulting in a skin flap) on his right middle finger in Sunday night's game against Baltimore. These are just the first two bumps along the road for the Sox (Mike Timlin's two disabled list stints would mean a lot more if the Sox bullpen wasn't tearing up the league), and how they manage on the field during the absence of their best starter and their number five hitter will go a long way to show just how deep and committed to winning this team is.Picture courtesy of BostonHerald.com
