Injury update

There are just so many...

Jacoby Ellsbury said he tweaked his groin on the Evan Longoria home run over the weekend, so clearly that shot hurt the Red Sox in more than one way. Ellsbury said he felt much better today, so he's hoping this won't keep him out too long.

J.D. Drew got treatment today, but they're not sure what the timetable is. It's not worse, but still not good enough for him to be in the lineup today.

As for Dustin Pedroia, Terry Francona said the shoulder issue isn't something he's worried about long-term, even though Pedroia said it tends to happen to him.

"I think when he dives it hurts," Francona said. "You could see him come off the field. You know it was sore. But then he woke up today, he was fine. He was lifting. I don't know that players can give you the exact determination of what happens. I think they just know how it feels.

"My instincts say no [that it might become a bigger problem at some point]. I mean, even after he did it, after he gathered himself, you saw the first swing he took. He wanted to hit it 800 miles."
