Josh Beckett has been pushed back from Game 1 to Game 3 of the first round against the Angels due to his oblique injury, according to the Boston Globe. Manager Terry Francona said, "I don't think we would slot him in if we weren't confident. If it goes the wrong way, we're going to use hopefully very good judgment. We're slotting him in there because we think he can pitch there."He is penciled in to start Sunday at Fenway Park, following Jon Lester (Game 1) and Daisuke Matsuzaka (Game 2). The Angels were the only team to win 100 games this season, and Beckett's injury will decrease Boston's odds to claim their third title in five years.

Josh Beckett fell to 12-10 on Monday as he hit a career-high three batters while he also threw a wild pitch and walked in a run against the Indians. Overall, Beckett lasted six innings allowing four runs on seven hits.Beckett's ERA crept over four with this outing (4.03), and his 12 wins mean he will have his worst win total since 2004. Despite the some varied performances, Beckett still owns a 1.19 WHIP and 174 K in 174.1 innings so it's not like he hasn't been a useful fantasy play this season.

News: Red Sox ace Josh Beckett is set to rejoin Boston's rotation on Friday night in Texas. Beckett, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 17 because of an inflamed right elbow, threw 58 pitches during a bullpen session before Tuesday's game against Baltimore. "It was a lot easier to go out there this session with full intensity," Beckett said, standing in front of his locker in a sweat-soaked warmup jersey. Beckett had been set to return last Friday, then was scratched and was examined by Dr. James Andrews, who said the right-hander's elbow ligament was in good shape. "He threw all of his pitches with good intensity. Everything's fine," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "We'll cut him short on Friday, which makes it harder to win the game. But after not starting a game, there's no good way to let a guy go out and throw a bunch of pitches. We'll steadily get back to where the game determines when we take him out." [...]
