Latest News
- Trevor Bauer has been called up from Columbus to make tonight's start, and Nick Hagadone has been sent down for him.
- Nick Swisher is going to sit another game. Right now it appears that Francona wanted to sit Swisher for three days in row.
- Speaking of injured outfielders, an update on Michael Bourn (such as it is).
Bourn (R. index finger) still hasn't taken live BP & there remains no clear timetable for when he'll begin Minors rehab.

- So Bourn isn't coming off the DL for at least another week, if you figure rehab stints, etc. That means more playing for Ryan Raburn, which all of a sudden doesn't sound that bad.
- Update on Brett Myers (also such that it is):
Myers (R. elbow inflammation) will hit 2-week rest mark this weekend. Will be re-evaluated & possibly cleared to initiate throwing program.
