"A red flag went up in Red Sox Nation Sunday when manager Terry Francona decided to push back Josh Beckett's next start to Wednesday in order to give the right-hander an extra day of rest.
While the Red Sox are not saying if Beckett has a specific injury, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe asks if the 125 pitches Beckett threw against the Angels on April 21 have taken a toll on him. Beckett was lifted after 92 pitches Wednesday in Baltimore (ESPN)."
I really hope he isn't hurt, and maybe Francona just wanted to get some extra rest. I guess we will find out on Weds, if he pitches I guess he's fine and Francona just wanted to get him some extra time off, if he doesn't then we will have to think there is something physically wrong with him. If Beckett goes down it would be a huge blow to this team as he has been one of their best starters, and the Red Sox can't afford to dig a deeper hole then their already in.
