Manager Terry Francona and GM Theo Epstein both said that Beckett hasn't suffered any type of setback with his elbow and the decision to send him to see Dr. Andrews is merely a precaution as the team wants to make sure Beckett is 100% before running him out there again.Uh huh.

Just because Josh Beckett remains on track to pitch on Friday night against the White Sox, it does not mean that his recent bout with elbow inflammation has been put in the rearview mirror, according to the MLB. "We have his long-term interests in mind here," said Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. "Even though he's scheduled to pitch Friday, that doesn't mean we stop evaluating him on a daily basis and we stop making sure he's fully healthy and ready to pitch. We're going to keep monitoring him day in and day out. If it gets to a point where we don't think it's in his best interest to pitch, then he's not going to pitch."The Sox are shooting to insure a spot in the playoffs, but they are not going to push Beckett to get there. If he shows any signs of pain or discomfort at all, they will be taking him off the mound.

One possible source of the problem is the ulnar nerve, the same nerve that runs through the funny bone and can cause a tingling sensation when aggravated.

Beckett didn't even show up to this one, getting smoked for six runs in the first inning. Hits, homers, hit-batsmen, the Sox ace fell prey to them all Sunday, which was the second time in four starts that he got absolutely shellacked. He'll get a shot at redemption when he goes to Toronto on Aug. 23 for his next start.

That's back-to-back wins for Beckett, who downed the Royals
That's back-to-back wins for Beckett, who downed the Royals last time out by dealing 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball. The flame-throwing right-hander will keep looking to do what he does best when he takes his 3.92 ERA and phenomenal 142/29 K/BB ratio to Fenway Park for a date with the light-hitting Blue Jays next.

Josh Beckett simply dominated the White Sox on this night needing just 104 pitches to make it through eight innings in his 11th victory of the year. Beckett allowed a single run, didn't walk a batter, and struck out eight.When on as he was on this night, it really matters little who is hitting as the batters have basically no chance of doing anything substantial. After being bombed for seven runs on July 30th, Beckett has allowed just three runs over his last two starts (1.84 ERA).
