News: Lester (quadriceps) threw 6.1 scoreless innings, striking out seven and walking one in Boston's win over Cleveland on Thursday.
Analysis: Lester was forced to leave his previous start after getting hit on the leg by a line drive off the bat of the Yankees' Melky Cabrera. He showed no signs of being affected by the injury, and should be ready to start in the postseason next week.
Sunday, September 27, 2009
News: Lester's right quadriceps did not swell up overnight, giving hope that he can make his next scheduled start on Thursday, the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: It's not known if Lester will throw a side session on Monday, but pitchers don't always throw one at this time of the season. The next indicator of his health will be if swelling develops after physical activity.
