Beckett okay; lineups
Josh Beckett came through his exam with Dr. James Andrews just fine, Red Sox manager Terry Francona said during his pre-game press conference, which was televised by NESN. His elbow inflammation is nothing more than that.
Beckett was placed on the 15-day DL, but Francona said Beckett could make his next start a week from tonight in Texas.
Now for tonight's lineups for Boston and Portland:

Mark Kotsay, RF
Dustin Pedroia, 2B
David Ortiz, DH
Kevin Youkilis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
