BOSTON -- After being removed from Wednesday's game in Philadelphia with a left-hand injury, Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp is back in the lineup tonight. He's hitting seventh and playing center.

Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Crisp is doing okay and that the training staff called and talked to him on the offday on Thursday. Francona said Crisp thought the injury was a lot worse when he came out of the game on Wednesday, but after icing it and receiving treatment, Crisp is fine.
