• Josh Beckett was put on the 15-day disabled list because of an inflamed right elbow, and manager Terry Francona said he hopes the Boston Red Sox ace can return to the rotation Friday in Texas. Beckett was examined by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola., Fla., on Friday. "I don't trust anybody more than I trust him when it comes to stuff like that," Beckett said. … He said my ligament looked fine. That's what I was afraid of. … It was a big relief." Beckett was scheduled to pitch Friday night's opener of the three-game series with the White Sox but was scratched Thursday.

Martinez, who came into the season with a .301 career average, was batting .278 with no home runs and 21 RBIs in 54 games before the Indians placed him on the disabled list.
