Baseball Today: Thursday, May 10 »
May 9, 2007
Kevin Youkilis, who has been hit in each of the last two games -- both times in the same general vicinity -- is out of tonight's lineup. Manager Terry Francona originally had Youkilis in the lineup, but when Youkilis arrived at Rogers Centre and conferred with his manager, the switch was made. Eric Hinske will start at first base.
Jon Lester played catch at a distance of 90 feet for about 12 minutes earlier today. He'll take tomorrow off, then long toss Friday when the team returns home.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, tonight's starter, isn't one to rest in the trainer's room before a start. Matsuzaka was spotted running in the outfield, four hours before gametime.
