News from the clubhouse

Coco Crisp has returned to the lineup, but Kevin Youkilis isn't yet ready to play.
Crisp missed the final two games of the series in Toronto with back issues, but is improved.
Youkilis, who has been out since being hit in the hand last weekend by Chien Ming Wang, and while he's ``getting better, he's not ready to play.''
As for Manny Ramirez, well, who knows? But Francona cautioned Red Sox fans to not expect to see him this weekend in Tampa.
``I don't see it happening,'' acknowledged Francona.
In the bullpen, Hideki Okajima is still on a throwing program and won't be available until Thurs., when the Sox open their final series of the season.
The plan is for him to throw a side session Tuesday, take a day off Wednesday and be available Thurs.
