Jon Lester yielded six runs -- five earned -- in six innings Monday against the White Sox to take his first loss of the season.
Lester, who entered 6-0, has always had problems with the White Sox. He's now 4-5 with a 5.43 ERA in 10 career starts against the team. He's 87-44 with a 3.64 ERA against everyone else.
May 21 - 12:13 AM
Jon Lester allowed two runs over seven innings as the Red Sox defeated the Rays 9-2 on Wednesday.
The start came on the heels of Lester's one-hit gem against the Blue Jays his last time out. The southpaw wasn't quite up to that standard Wednesday, but he was still plenty good enough to get the win. He's now 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA and is enjoying a bounce-back campaign from his down 2012. His next start will come Monday against the White Sox.
May 16 - 12:05 AM
Jon Lester tossed a one-hit shutout Friday in a 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.
It was his third career shutout and his 10th complete game. Lester faced one batter over the minimum, striking out five while walking none. The Blue Jays' only hit was a two-out double by Maicer Izturis in the sixth inning. Lester is now 5-0 on the year and holds an excellent 2.73 ERA and 45/15 K/BB ratio over 52 2/3 innings. He'll look to keep his bounce-back campaign rolling next week against the Rays.
May 10 - 10:05 PM
Jon Lester allowed six runs -- five earned -- over six innings Tuesday in the Red Sox loss to the Blue Jays.
Lester struggled last week against the A's and was off kilter again on Tuesday night in Toronto. He still owns a cool 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in six starts this season, but those stats are quickly regressing. Lester will try to do better Sunday against the Rangers.

Will Middlebrooks
D.L.
Red Sox placed 3B Will Middlebrooks on the 15-day disabled list with lower back spasms.
Middlebrooks suffered the injury Wednesday and aggravated it Thursday. The Red Sox initially said he was day-to-day, but evidently they've decided the best course of action was to sit him down for a couple weeks. Jose Iglesias has been promoted to fill his spot on the roster and will share time with Pedro Ciriaco at the hot corner.

Shane Victorino
D.L.
Red Sox placed OF Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with a left hamstring strain.
Victorino ran sprints prior to Thursday's game, but evidently he still hasn't made enough progress. Given that he's also had a back issue lately, it's probably best to let him rest for a couple weeks. Daniel Nava will handle right field while Victorino is out.

Franklin Morales
D.L.
Franklin Morales (back, pectoral) is expected to make at least two more rehab starts before being activated from the disabled list.
Morales threw three innings in his last outing and will stretch it out to four innings Saturday. The lefty would have been activated by now had the Red Sox wanted him as a reliever, but they're stretching him out as a starter in case he's needed in that role. "Well, he'll likely get to four innings [on Saturday], and if we don't change course with his role, we'd like to get him to a minimum of five before we'd look to do something back here," manager John Farrell said.

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.
