NEW YORK -- Some quick notes from Yankee Stadium:
-- J.D. Drew will sit out tonight's game while Wily Mo Pena plays right field. Manager Terry Francona said Drew had success against Yankee starter Andy Pettitte when both were in the National League -- Drew is 6-for-14, .429, with two home runs vs. Pettitte -- but feels the slumping right fielder, who has fallen to a .237 average, could benefit mentally from a couple of days off. (The Sox are off tomorrow and won't play again until Friday.)
"A day for Wily Mo to play is not bad, either,'' said Francona.
-- Mike Timlin is scheduled to throw another bullpen session this afternoon. Timlin will then return to Boston to be examined and could begin a rehab stint with Pawtucket either Friday or Saturday.
