Boof Bonser

Boof Bonser twirls four innings of scoreless ball in rehab stint

When Boof Bonser last pitched during his first rehabilitation assignment with the Pawtucket Red Sox on April 13, he lasted only two innings and allowed nine earned runs in a 12-0 loss to Lehigh Valley.

He subsequently was placed on the disabled list by Boston because of pain in his right shoulder, but Bonser didn’t exhibit evidence of that problem Wednesday night in the first game of his second rehab assignment.

Boston Red Sox

The Future Holds many Questions for the Red Sox Catching — And Hopefully an Answer

Fact: As a catcher, Victor Martinez makes a good first baseman – and a D.H.

Fact: Jason Varitek, at 38, is on the down side of a once brilliant career. Fact: Both players’ contracts expire after the 2010 season. Question: Who will comprise the next generation of Red Sox catchers? Will it be either Pawtucket catcher Mark Wagner or Dusty Brown, each of whom is on Boston’s 40-man roster? Or will it be one – or both – of Boston’s very best catcher prospects, Luis Exposito or Tim Federowicz?

BOS 11, CLE 6: Bats Boost Beckett Past Indians

The Boston bats had Beckett's back last night, in a big way. Alliteration aside, the Red Sox starter struggled through five innings, but came up with the win, his seventeenth of the season, as the Sox took a third game from the Cleveland Indians. With only one game left in the regular season, the quiet Red Sox backs woke up, as Aaron Laffey and the rest of the Tribe's pen were lit up, on the way to an 11-6 loss.
