Numb Hand

Josh Beckett is suffering from numbness in his right hand:

"We've got to figure out what ... it is," Beckett said Tuesday. "Obviously, (being pushed back) is not what I want, but at this juncture it needs to happen."

Beckett was scheduled to pitch Saturday against Toronto. Instead, he's tentatively set to start Tuesday night when the Red Sox play New York at Yankee Stadium.

"I don't know. It's still seven days away," he said. "We'll see."

Beckett will undergo tests to determine the cause of the numbness -- and to rule out a serious condition such as a blood clots.

Oil Can Boyd suffered numbness in his arm before he was diagnosed with a blood clot.
