Beckett Heads to the DL

Josh Beckett has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sore back, as he left last night's game with the injury. It may not be the worst thing in the world to sit Beckett for a couple of weeks with all the struggles he's gone through.

Hey, do you think Joe Girardi might want to rescind that protest he said he was going to file over the way the Sox removed Beckett last night?

The Red Sox also brought up reliever Joe Nelson today. Tim Wakefield will take Beckett's spot, and will start Sunday against the Phillies.
