Rather than push it, hopefully he'll be back at some point at the end of the year. This injury happened to him a couple of years ago in Chicago and it took a long time to heal. We're going to give him that time.
More Quotes from Jim Beattie:
When it became known that I was going to come up here and interview, a lot of friends from the Boston area and New England who grew up here and went to school here called me, ... About half of them said, 'Good luck and go up there and do a good job.' The others said, 'What the heck are you thinking about' So you have to keep that in perspective. You can only go out there and do the best job you can. And in this case, for me, I have a World Series ring as a player I would love to have another one. This is one of the best opportunities in baseball to get there.Jim Beattie
It's not something that's been brewing for a long time. The decision really was made in the last day that we should make the change. I talked to Maz this morning about making the change.

I am just trying to get a sense of how things have operated, as well as get a sense of the talent, the players. In the minor leagues and major leagues - trying to find out how healthy guys are, are they looking to have better years, worst years, did they have career years ... just trying to get some sense of that so we can get an idea looking forward to the club this year.

It's better off for these guys to be allowed to play out the season with as little distraction as they can. It's been a long season with respect to that.
