Jon Lester surrendered five earned runs over five innings Sunday in Boston's loss to the Orioles.

The collapse continues for Lester, who started the season strong but has been knocked around in six straight outings. He had a 2.73 ERA after his May 10 shutout against the Blue Jays and it's now 4.37. The left-hander should be on fantasy benches next time out when he faces a dangerous Tigers offense at Comerica Park. Jun 16 - 5:04 PM

C	1	Jarrod Saltalamacchia
	2	David Ross D.L. Red Sox placed C David Ross on the 7-day disabled list with a concussion. Ross is having a recurrence of concussion symptoms that originally started back in mid-May. He should be considered out indefinitely. Ryan Lavarnway has been recalled to provide depth behind the plate. Jun 18

1B	1	Mike Napoli
	2	Mike Carp Sidelined Mike Carp (hamstring) is expected to be in the starting lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays. Carp left Sunday's game with right hamstring tightness, but it's not a major concern. The 26-year-old is hitting .324 with eight home runs and 25 RBI in 105 at-bats this season. Jun 18

	3	Clay Buchholz D.L. Red Sox placed RHP Clay Buchholz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 9, with a strained neck. Buchholz was able to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday, but evidently he's still not feeling well enough to make his start on Saturday. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be out. The Red Sox are expected to call up Allen Webster to start over the weekend. Jun 18

	2	Joel Hanrahan D.L. Joel Hanrahan was upbeat Friday after he required Tommy John surgery in addition to flexor tendon surgery on Thursday. Hanrahan will be in a cast for ten days, but will start the rehab process shortly thereafter. Either way, he's looking at a 12-to-14 month timetable for his return. Hanrahan, who is a free agent after the season, is a long way away from having any tangible fantasy value. May 17

	7	Clayton Mortensen D.L. Red Sox placed RHP Clayton Mortensen on the 15-day disabled list with a right hip impingement. Mortensen has been battling the injury since April and finally agreed to take a few weeks off. The right-hander has posted a 5.34 ERA in 30 1/3 innings this year. Jun 11
