Victorino day-to-day with knee injuryRight fielder Shane Victorino is not expected to land on the disabled list with an injured left knee but may not be available to the Red Sox for a few more days.Victorino missed his second consecutive game on Friday, sitting out a 1-0 loss against the Detroit Tigers. He had an MRI before the game. Manager John Farrell said the tests showed swelling in the joint.“He’ll be fitted for a brace to wear. We’ll check him [Saturday] on his availability,” Farrell said.Victorino was initially injured on Saturday in Texas when he slid awkwardly into third base in the fourth inning. He aggravated the injury in Minnesota on Tuesday sliding into third base to complete a triple in the sixth inning and jammed his leg on the base.Victorino stayed in the game and had two more hits. He then played all nine innings on Wednesday but was unavailable on Thursday.Farrell said the knee “is still a little bothersome” for Victorino.“The recommendation of the medical staff was to hold him out [Friday] at a minimum,” Farrell said.Victorino started the season on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring but has hit .292 with a .733 OPS since returning. The Sox are 9-6 in the 15 games he has played. The lineup gained traction with Victorino batting second behind Dustin Pedroia.Grady Sizemore started in right field against the Tigers with Mike Carp in left. Sizemore was 0 for 4.Victorino offered little comment on his condition when approached in the clubhouse.“I should be fine,” he said. “We’ll see.”Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/17/2014 5:03:55 AM -

Red Sox notes: Bogaerts avoids injuryShortstop Xander Bogaert took a 96 mile-per-hour fastball from Evan Reed off his left wrist in the seventh inning but stayed in the game and expects to play on Saturday.Bogaerts said the ball hit him on the bone. He was wrapped in ice after the game.“He got me. After that I didn’t feel anything. He got me good,” Bogaerts said. “I always ask God to protect me before each game. I was lucky.”Also:* Patriots receivers Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman were in the clubhouse before the game, getting a tour from third base coach Brian Butterfield.Butterfield and a group of Red Sox players attended the Steelers-Patriots game in Foxboro after the World Series last season and microphones caught Bill Belichick and Tom Brady discussing how small the Red Sox players are when compared to the Patriots.Shane Victorino, who was a slot receiver at St. Anthony High in Wailuku, HI, jokingly took exception to that when reminded of the comments.“Those guys aren’t any bigger than I am,” he said, pointing to Amendola and Edelman. “But I know they’re receivers.”Victorino is listed at 5-foot-9, 190 pounds. Amendola is 5-11, 195 on the Patriots roster and Edelman 5-10, 198.* Lefthanded reliever Rich Hill had the right to opt out of his minor league contract on Thursday but elected to stay with the organization. The 34-year-old Milton native has appeared in 13 games for Triple A Pawtucket, throwing 20 1/3 innings and posting a 2.66 ERA. Hill signed with the Red Sox in February. Hill has another opt-out date on June 30.* The Tigers arrived at Fenway Park without former Red Sox shortstop Jose Iglesias. He is on the 60-day disabled list with stress fractures in both tibia bones. Iglesias is likely to miss the entire season and has not been with the team.* Bogaerts had a 14-pitch plate appearance against Minnesota’s Phil Hughes on Thursday before flying out to center field. How rare is that? Paul Swydan of The Hardball Times did the research and found only 160 14-pitch at-bats from 1988-2013. There were 4.7 million plate appearances during that time. So the odds of 14-pitch plate appearance are 0.003 percent.* David Ortiz spoke to Manny Ramirez and reported that he is excited about being at Fenway Park on May 28 for the reunion of the 2004 team. “He’s a different guy now,” Ortiz said. “He’s not like he used to be. I’m glad he’s coming back.”* Ortiz has hit safely in nine straight games at 18 of 26.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/17/2014 5:21:01 AM

For the Tigers, a long stay in BostonThe Detroit Tigers had a day game in Baltimore on Wednesday and arrived in Boston that evening early enough for several of their players to get over to the Garden for the Canadiens-Bruins game.The team was off on Thursday then played the Red Sox Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. The team's flight to Cleveland was schedule for Sunday after the game. But mechanical issues with their flight led to the team spending the night in Boston on Sunday.So that's five nights in Boston for Detroit and only three games. Detroit plays the Indians on Monday night.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/19/2014 9:38:23 PM
