VARITEK SLOWED BY REAR END INJURY

I promised myself I wouldn't make any jokes. Varitek has a bad gluteus muscle. That's his butt, for those who don't know. He claims he injured it running the bases during Spring Training and it tightened up on him in Monday's game against Seattle. V-tek claims that he probably won't miss any time due to the muscle and that by game's end yesterday, it had loosened up on him. This is very good news as our catching depth is, in a word: suspect.

Clement vs. Fossum tonight. Last time the Sox met the Rays, there was a fight at home plate involving Julian Tavarez. Tavarez might not be available tonight after pitching an inning yesterday. However, these two teams often set off fireworks together.
