"Red Sox SP Josh Beckett was hit in the head during team batting practice on Monday morning as he was standing in the outfield, according to the Boston Globe. Beckett walked off the field with trainers, rubbing his head where he was hit. It is not currently known how serious the injury is or if he will miss his next scheduled exhibition start on Thursday against the Phillies (CBS Sports)."
There is no word yet on how serious this injury will be, but he was all the way in the outfeild, so I doubt it is anything serious. If he does have to miss any time that could be a bad sign for the Red Sox. Beckett has struggled anytime he has had to miss time during Spring Training. After the terrible season that was last year, the Red Sox really need Beckett to be healthy and in-shape.
Beckett made his first start yesterday going 2 innings againsty the Twins allowing 1 run on two hits. We will keep you posted if this injury ends up being anything serious.
***UPDATE***
"Boston Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett was OK after getting hit on the left side of the head with a ball before Monday's spring training game. Beckett is expected to make his next spring training start Thursday (ESPN)."
***UPDATE 2***
"The Red Sox have released a statement saying Josh Beckett suffered a mild concussion after being hit in the left side of the head with a baseball during the team's batting practice prior to its game against the Twins at City of Palms Park Monday. He was sent home from the park and will be reevaluated Tuesday (WEEI)."
