Red Sox right-hander Josh Beckett says he feels a lot better after getting scratched Monday night because of back spasms.
Beckett said Tuesday that he's ready to pitch. His next start is scheduled for Saturday.
Beckett is 16-6 and has already pitched a career-high with 207 1-3 innings.
Boston began the night with a magic number of one over Texas for the AL wild card. They can win it with a victory over Toronto or a Rangers loss to the Angels.

After last night’s ass-whooping at the hands of the mighty Blue Jays, I’ve decided to abstain from posting until the Sox officially clinch the Wild Card. So today, we’re handing the reins over to guest poster Randy “Pete” Fitzgerald, nephew of the celebrated author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who has a startling revelation that I think you’ll all enjoy.Take it away, Randy.*...

For about a month now, since Josh Beckett was in the midst of his dead-arm period, I have been advocating a course of action in which the Red Sox would skip Josh Beckett one time through the rotation - arguing that he would be able to rest his right arm and build some extra stamina [...]

The LA Angels did the heavy lifting for the Red Sox last night, whacking the Texas Rangers 11-0, to win the AL West title and giving the Red Sox a tie for the AL Wild Card. It was a rare night I was pulling for the Halos, and something I sure as hell won't be doing next week.Josh Beckett couldn't go last night, as an upper back spasm forced Terry Francona to pull him earlier in the...

Josh Beckett won’t make his start tonight due to back spasms. The Sox usually give Beckett some time off during the year with a minor injury, and they haven’t done so this season. They have, at times, given him an extra day off. This seems like a move to keep him fresh [...]

Even with the memory of last season’s injury-marred playoffs, and after having woken up with back spasms before his scheduled start Monday, Josh Beckett yesterday said he anticipated no further issues with his back. He appeared optimistic about his chances to pitch during the rest of the regular season, and the postseason.

Last night as I was perusing my Facebook feed I noticed a disproportionate number of my Red Sox fans complaining about the Red Sox game last night. In case you were like most of us and skipped it, you missed Josh Beckett missing a start and saw instead the craptastically ineffective performance of one Michael Bowden. The Blue Jays spanked the Sox all over the place, but please remember, the Wild

Aaron Hill continues his amazing power season with his 35th home run, and Wells and Overbay doubled. An early evening Red Sox loss would give the Texas Rangers an even bigger reason [...]
