Tony Abreu has been shut down in Vero Beach due to the lingering aftereffects of offseason surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle. The news is better for Andy LaRoche, who is expected to join Abreu in Vero Beach at the end of the week. Nomar Garciaparra is taking batting practice right now and expected to be activated for Friday's game, possibly pushing Blake DeWitt down to the minors.
