Leskanic Returns to Sox »

The report on Curt Schilling dominated manager Terry Francona's pregame media session this afternoon.
The only items of note were contained in the starting lineup.
J.D. Drew, who left Friday night's game in the fourth inning because of a tight right hamstring, is back in the starting lineup tonight in right field, batting first. That dropped Coco Crisp from first to eighth in the order. Crisp went 4 for 7 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI in the two games Drew missed.
Catcher Jason Varitek, who was held out of Sunday's game because he was banged up from Saturday night's game, also is back in the lineup. Varitek had been hit on the right hand by a Daisuke Matsuzaka pitch in a bit of miscommunication between the pitcher and the catcher.
Dustin Pedroia, who was given Sunday off to get over his All-Star-break illness, is back at second base.
