Bad news keeps coming for Blue Jays

Toronto, losers of eight straight, got more bad news today. Closer B.J. Ryan, who was shutdown last month because of a strained elbow ligament, is going to require Tommy John surgery and is lost for the season.

In the Red Sox clubhouse, the picture is far much rosier. Kevin Youkilis is back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday.

Jon Lester, who was supposed to take today off, felt good enough to throw at 120 feet.

The lineups:

Lugo ss
Youkilis 1b
Ortiz dh
Ramirez lf
Drew rf
Lowell 3b
Crisp cf
Mirabelli c
Cora 2b

TORONTO

Alex Rios rf
Adam Lind lf
