August 28, 2007
NEW YORK -- A day off, following a day game...presto...not much to report here.
-- The Sox are still being coy about Saturday's start, but it's widely assumed that assignment will go to Clay Buchholz, who will be added to the roster as they expand this weekend. Buchholz will be making his second major league start.
-- J.D. Drew, who snapped a homerless streak Sunday in Chicago, is in right field, a bit of a surprise given the presence of Yankee lefty Andy Pettitte on the mound. Then again, Drew has had great success against Pettitte -- .429 (6-for-14) with two solo homers.
-- Doug Mirabelli is here and is scheduled to take batting practice. He's eligible to come off the DL this weekend and manager Terry Francona said Mirabelli will be activated then. Kevin Cash will probably stay, since rosters will expand and he would have been promoted anyway to give the team the flexibility of a third catcher.
