Add Jason Varitek & Manny Delcarmen to the disabled list. Varitek has a leg injury & Delcarmen has an arm injury.
As a result, the Sox traded for Kevin Cash to re-join his old teammates & catch Tim Wakefield's knuckleball. He & Gustavo Molina will handle catching duties while Victor & Varitek get over their injuries.
Delcarmen's trip to the DL gives the Sox a chance to add Michael Bowden or Felix Dubront back into the pen. Other than Bard & Pap, there has been no consistency in performance.
The Sox start a 3-game series at home tonight against Baltimore. Then it's off to Tampa Bay for 3 & off to Toronto for 3 more before the All-Star break. Given the shortage of usable bodies, I think 5-4 would be OK & keep them in the race as they crawl to the unofficial end of the first half.
