Red Sox pitcher Matt Clement remains in Fort Myers as he continues to rehab his surgically repaired right shoulder.
The veteran right-hander had a arthroscopic procedure performed last September, and according to Red Sox manager Terry Francona, Clement is still a long way off.
"He's doing well," said the manager. "He's at the point where there's a lot of repetition. It's boring, but he's got to do it."
The two have been in contact via text messages over the last few weeks and Clement is playing long toss at 105 feet.
Prior to his injury-prone season last summer, Clement had made 30 or more starts in each of his first seven full seasons in the majors. He only made 12 starts for Boston in 2006 and posted a 5-5 record with a 6.61 E.R.A.
