Josh Beckett Hurts Lower Back

Category: Sports    Tags: Back Spasm, Boston Red Sox, Pitcher, Josh Beckett, Injury

 

During yesterday's spring training game against the Marlins, Josh Beckett left the game early before ever facing a batter. During his warm up pitches he developed a back spasm and ended up walking off the field.

Beckett did not seem to be in extreme discomfort while leaving the mound but Red Sox fans should keep their fingers crossed that this isn't something that continues throughout the season. He was Boston's number one pitcher last year and was Major League Baseball's only twenty game winner last season.
