“DIARY OF A WINNER”


 

DAVID ROSS

BOSTON STRONG -
THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION
David Ross returns to the Sox


July 25, 2013 ... The game was called at 7:37 p.m., only 27 minutes after the scheduled start time. Because the game was the last one scheduled between the teams at Fenway Park this season, the decision was in the hands of the umpires and Major League Baseball, not the Red Sox.   The teams had a mutual day off on Monday and will play at 6:10 p.m. The Red Sox have a weekend series in Baltimore and the Rays are playing the Yankees in New York.

Andrew Bailey had surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday in New York. Dr. David Altchek, the Mets team physician, repaired a torn labrum and capsule. The surgery is expected to keep Bailey out for at least one year. 

As Jose Iglesias cools down (11 for his last 60 with 11 strikeouts), Will Middlebrooks is 8 of 18 with three doubles, a home run, and three RBIs in his last four games at Pawtucket and is hitting .318 with an .898 OPS in his last 10.

Red Sox backup catcher David Ross suffered two concussions in a span of 33 days earlier this season. The second, June 14 in Baltimore, was so severe that doctors told Ross he should return to his home in Tallahassee, Fla., to recover. The loud noises and bright lights at major league games would make sitting in the dugout detrimental.  Yesterday, Ross was back with his teammates after being cleared by a specialist.
