Back spasms hit Red Sox' Beckett

Josh Beckett left the mound at City of Palms Park today, scrapping his scheduled start against the Florida Marlins. The Red Sox later announced that Beckett had lower back spasms, the result of landing funny on the follow-through to a warm-up pitch.

Beckett appeared to grab his lower back after completing a warmup toss. He summoned the umpire, manager Terry Francona and the training staff to the mound and after a brief consultation, Beckett walked off the mound and headed for the dugout.

There, Francona, pitching coach John Farrell, general manager Theo Epstein conferred briefly. Beckett then walked to the runway leading to the home clubhouse.

Manny Delcarmen, who of course had not been warming up, became the Sox' starter.
