Shawn Riggans will undergo surgery for an infection in his knee and will miss at least two weeks.
Michel Hernandez will take over the primary backup to Dioner Navarro. The Rays also have rookie John Jaso on the roster.

Higher

20:1 – That’d be 4 nights in a row and he’s gotten shelled the last three. The Sox will go to someone else tonight if a save situation arises to them. Only if it goes to extras, and he’s probably the last bullet in their bullpen if it gets that far.

I have no idea why Hernedez is the backup

but I assume Navarro pretty much starts every game anyway. Longo took batting practice and is expected back Friday! As is Upton!(who can PH tonight). CC comes back the last week which is only like 2 weeks away….

Has anybody else seen how these injuries coming together can be good for us?

Not saying that I would rather have DJ than Bossman, or have Crawford, and Longoria out of the lineup…

but here’s what these injuries do FOR us.

BJ: Has a few days to nurse his shoulder, and he’s shown that he’s hitting better with less BP….

Crawford: Wasn’t he having knee trouble or hamstring trouble? Something with the legs.. he’ll come back with fresh legs for the beginning of the playoffs, and that will pay dividens.

As for Longoria: There’s not really anything good about this, other than he’ll be well rested.

Percival: I know he isn’t injured, but when he is injured… he’s off the mound…

Teamrankings.com gives a .2 boost to rating

You will see if you go there. I recommend it as they base a lot on SoS. The only drawback as that can cause a league bias so just look at AL against AL, etc…

I can see Sonny manning up for this one

He needs to avoid that 1 horrible inning. Even at his best, he usually has 1 bad inning. I don’t know how many runs Dan Johnson can bail him out of

It all depends on Beckett.

If everything is right in the world, we’ll get the same Beckett that’s appeared the last few outings and has been getting rocked pretty good.

If however, things go the way they typically have been going for this offense, we’ll get Cy Beckett and I’ll be pissed.

Tonight

I like this lineup to work the count on Beckett all night and hopefully chase him in 5 or 6. Johnson Hinske Floyd. Can we be patient, get a few walks early, avoid the double play (Bartlett!)?
