Statement from Sox Medical Staff on Beckett

During last night’s game we heard an official statement and update from Red Sox Medical Director Dr. Tom Gill, about Josh Beckett and his ankle. Here it is:

 

“Josh experienced pain in his ankle while pitching (Monday) night. His examination was consistent with an ankle sprain. An MRI was performed that confirmed no other injurt to his ankle tendons, or his Achilles tendon. We will re-evaluate his symptoms and availability later this week.”

 

 

Well that seems like good news for now. Looks like Josh will miss at least one start, but might not be more. And, I won’t be crying myself to sleep in the fetal position…thinking of Josh being out for the rest of the season. Well, if I believed ANYTHING the Sox medical people told me.
