Sox keeping promising Buchholz out for season

Right-hander Clay Buchholz, who no-hit the Orioles on Sept. 1 in only his second big-league start, is being shut down for the season by the Red Sox.

Sox Manager Terry Francona said minutes ago that Buchholz's strength and mobility, among other things the organization test for on a regular basis, are not at the levels the Sox would like to see in order to have him continue to pitch.

So rather than risk his promising career by using him over the final three regular-season games and then in the postseason, the organization has decided to err on the side of caution.
