Back Scratch

"No cause for concern."

FORT MYERS — The stiff back that prevented Kevin Youkilis from making the trip to Dunedin, Fla., for yesterday’s spring training matchup against the Blue Jays is no cause for concern. Youkilis is scheduled to get a few at-bats in a minor league game against the Twins this afternoon at the Red Sox spring training facility.

This is becoming a refrain this spring. "Oh, that thing that pulled me out of the lineup? Nothing to worry about."
