Josh Beckett Injury News - Dr. James Andrews

Josh Beckett is apparently frustrated with his injury woes and is going to visit with Dr. James Andrews. Andrews, who is known as the Grim Reaper among baseball fans, will take a look at why Beckett has lingering elbow pain.

The good news for Boston Red Sox fans is that this meeting is being classified as a precautionary move. Beckett isn’t expected to miss much amount of time and there is only limited talk that Beckett may require season-ending surgery.

Although the Red Sox are in a good position to repeat as World Series champions, they definitely need a healthy Josh Beckett. Beckett was key last year and while he hasn’t been great this year, he is a noted big game pitcher.

This season, Beckett is 11-9 with a 4.34 ERA. He also has 145 strikeouts in just over 149 innings.

Keep an eye out for the result of Beckett’s meeting with Andrews as it should become known over the next few days.
