No info on Clement
The Red Sox have not yet released any additional information about Matt Clement's condition to the media at this point. Theo Epstein did say earlier that was because Clement was still too groggy to speak to anyone.
Coco Crisp did make an appearance in the clubhouse this afternoon, complete with a cast over his hand and wrist that would probably pack a mean wallop. Crisp said he can feel a little throbbing in the finger at this point, but is very optimistic about his offseason workouts and the future. He will likely wear an aircast for a few weeks, and should be able to resume workouts to be on target for spring training.
Alex Gonzalez left Boston and the team last night not long after 6 p.m., the reason he was replaced in the lineup by Alex Cora. Gonzalez was called away because of an issue with his family, and headed down to Miami to be with his family last night. Manager Terry Francona said Gonzalez is not expected to come back, and doesn't need to come back.
That's about it. Any news on Clement's condition (or anything else) and we'll you that information as soon as possible.
