BOSTON -- Josh Beckett came out of Friday night's game after just 80 pitches, but don't read much into that.
While there was some speculation last night that the Sox might want to bring back Beckett on three days' rest and pitch Game Four in Cleveland, that isn't being contemplated.
Such a switch -- skipping knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in favor of Beckett for Game Four -- would require the Sox to bring back Curt Schilling on regular rest for Game Five, something they are reluctant to do given Schilling's age and the condition of his shoulder.
Instead, the Sox plan to stick with Wakefield for Game Four, Beckett for Game Five, Schilling for Game Six and Daisuke Matsuzaka for Game Seven.
