Red Sox manager Terry Francona said that Jason Varitek will catch Josh Beckett on Wednesday night. | ||||||
It's the third straight time that Varitek will catch Beckett. They'll be a welcome sight for Red Sox fans after Tim Wakefield and Victor Martinez combined to allow nine stolen bases during Tuesday's game. | ||||||

Jason Varitek blasted two home runs Saturday evening in the Red Sox' 8-3 defeat of the Royals. | ||||||
They were both solo shots, but it was still an impressive showing from the backup catcher. He's batting .389 on the year as the understudy to Victor Martinez and may have won himself a bit more playing time. | ||||||

Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Jason Varitek will probably make his first start Saturday. | ||||||
We assume it will be at Victor Martinez's expense, though it's possible Martinez could play first base or DH. | ||||||
