Red Sox | Lester cleared to start Thursday
Ian Browne, of MLB.com, reports Boston Red Sox SP Jon Lester (quadriceps) has been cleared to make his next start Thursday, Oct. 1, in his final tune up before the postseason. "I felt fine," said Lester. "No problems. Just the normal long tossing and everything. Right around 55 pitches. Everything was good. I felt good this morning when I woke up and walking around and everything. But there's that question in your mind, 'OK, when I get on the mound, is it going to bug me?' And it didn't. Everything was good. I'm sure Thursday is fine."
Red Sox | No decisions made on playoff rotation
Chad Finn, of The Boston Globe, reports Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona said the team has not made a final decision on their playoff rotation. There have been reports that the team is giving SP Jon Lester (quadriceps) the start in Game 1 of the Divisional Series.
Lester cleared to start
MLB.com reports that starter Jon Lester has been cleared to make his next start on Thursday. He threw a successful side session on Monday while recovering from a line drive that hit him in his right knee on Friday night.
Our View: Francona nad Lester both expressed plenty of confidence after the side session, so it sounds like there's no reason to be concerned. Lester remains a good start as this will be his final tune up before throwing Game 1 of the ALDS for the Red Sox.
