Shortstop Jack Wilson might miss all three games in Cincinnati because of his sore right index finger, which he injured Sunday on a grounder.
"I'm sure it would throb if he had to make a throw," Russell said. "Or he had to swing a bit, it would throb."

Troy Percival(Rays):
The Rays received a bullpen boost prior to Tuesday night's contest against the Yankees when Troy Percival was activated from the 15-day disabled list, thereby completing his third stint on the DL this season.

J.D. Drew(RedSox):
Right fielder J.D. Drew who is eligible to come off the DL today, returned to indoor BP yesterday but isn’t ready for activation, according to manager Terry Francona. With he, Drew, ace Josh Beckett and backup first baseman Sean Casey all getting closer, Lowell said the Sox could potentially get a much-needed boost down the stretch.
