"Jon Lester is in the bullpen right now throwing a side session and, from our perch in the Fenway press box, he is looking pretty good. He doesn't appear to have any issues landing on his right plant leg, which got dinged pretty hard on the quad by a comebacker to the mound in his last start last Friday night against the Yankees in New York. Lester walked through the locker room a little bit before 4 p.m., and confirmed that it was a positive session.
"Everything felt fine," Lester said. "Everything was good (Boston.com)."
It was a real scary moment for any Sox fan when Lester was hit with a comebacker a couple of nights ago. Well Sox fans you can breathe easy as it seems it was just a bruise and he will be just fine for the playoffs, but what about his next start?
Francona didn't seem to believe Lester would miss his next start. ``I don't see that getting interrupted,'' he said.
So good news all around.
