Description: Dodgers starter Josh Beckett has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain. | Insight: Beckett has allowed three runs or more in seven of eight starts this season and is 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. He can safely be cut in mixed leagues. Ted Lilly (rib cage) is nearing a return and likely will take Beckett's place in the rotation; Matthew Magill will start until Lilly is ready. | | |

Description: Los Angeles righthander Josh Beckett left Monday's start with a slightly strained right groin. | Insight: Beckett has allowed three runs or more in seven of eight starts this season and his 5.40 ERA and 1.50 WHIP to say nothing of his 0-5 record should convince fantasy owners that he's not worthy of a spot on your fantasy roster. | | |
| Cold | 5/2/2013 10:56:00 AM |
Description: Los Angeles righthander Josh Beckett is winless in six starts this season. | Insight: His ERA spiked to 5.24 after another rough outing Wednesday against the Rockies (4 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 3 BB). Beckett's last win came on September 30th of last season. Ironically, that game was also against Colorado. | | |
| 4/14/2013 9:16:00 PM |
Description: Dodgers starter Josh Beckett was the tough-luck loser Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He shut out Arizona through the first eight innings but gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth to lose 1-0. | Insight: Beckett had a 2.93 ERA in 43 innings with the Dodgers after recording a 5.23 mark in 127 1/3 innings with the BoSox. He's 0-2 with a 3.26 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 17/3 K/BB 19 1/3 innings this season. | | |
| 8/25/2012 6:20:00 PM |

| 8/25/2012 5:29:00 PM |
Description: The blockbuster trade of the summer is finally complete. Starting pitcher Josh Beckett, outfielder Carl Crawford, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and infielder Nick Punto are headed to the Dodgers in exchange for first baseman James Loney and a package of minor leaguers. | Insight: Beckett is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA in two career starts at Dodger Stadium. His 5.23 ERA through 21 starts this season is the second-highest of his 12 year career. | | |
| 8/4/2012 5:42:00 PM |
Description: Boston starter Josh Beckett (back) will start Wednesday against the Rangers, according to Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal. | Insight: Beckett was scratched from his start Sunday after leaving his last start July 31 with back stiffness. Instead of drawing Minnesota, he'll take on the the Rangers juggernaut. Fantasy owners should avoid that matchup and bench Beckett. | | |
| 8/3/2012 4:24:00 PM |
Description: Boston starter Josh Beckett will miss his scheduled start Sunday versus Minnesota because of back spasms. | Insight: Franklin Morales (2-2, 3.32 ERA) is starting in Beckett's place. | | |
| 8/3/2012 11:59:00 AM |
Description: Red Sox starter Josh Beckett is doubtful for Sunday's scheduled start against Minnesota with back spasms. | Insight: Beckett has been disappointing fantasy owners all season with his 5-9 record, 4.54 ERA and 1.270 WHIP so his absence shouldn't cause much problems at this point in the season. | | |
| 8/1/2012 8:31:00 PM |
Description: Red Sox starter Josh Beckett is not expected to go on the disabled list despite leaving Tuesday night's game in the third inning because of back spasms. | Insight: Beckett's status is still up in the air for his next start Sunday against the Twins. | | |
| 7/31/2012 9:07:00 PM |
Description: Red Sox starter Josh Beckett exited his start in the third inning Tuesday with back spasms. | Insight: Beckett has also dealt with a lat injury and shoulder inflammation this season. He has been better than his 4.54 ERA suggests, but he's still not a reliable fantasy arm. | | |
| 7/26/2012 8:09:00 PM |
Description: The Red Sox are fielding trade offers for struggling starting pitcher Josh Beckett. | Insight: Beckett's bad attitude and involvement in the now infamous "Chicken and Beer" scandal have rubbed Boston fans the wrong way and his performance on the field this season has been disappointing (5-9, 4.57 ERA in 17 starts). The Red Sox would love to move Beckett but it's going to be tough because of his massive contract. Our guess is that Beckett will still be in a Boston uniform when Tuesday's trade deadline passes. | | |
| 6/25/2012 9:42:00 PM |
Description: If all goes well between now and Friday, Red Sox righthander Josh Beckett could make his return to the starting rotation that day against the Mariners. Beckett has been out the last two weeks with a sore shoulder. | Insight: Beckett tossed a bullpen session on Monday and didn't report any problems so he should be good to go on Friday. He's 4-7 this year with a 4.14 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 12 starts. | | |
| 6/19/2012 5:05:00 PM |
Description: The MRI on Red Sox starter Josh Beckett's sore shoulder showed no structural damage, according to Alex Speier of WEEI.com. | Insight: Beckett thinks he'll only need to miss one more start before rejoining Boston's rotation. | | |
| 6/17/2012 11:05:00 AM |
Description: Red Sox starter Josh Beckett should be able to return to the disabled list as soon as he is eligible. Beckett was placed on the DL Saturday with a shoulder injury. | Insight: Beckett's move to the DL is retroactive to June 12th, so he will be eligible to return on June 27th. Franklin Morales (0-1, 3.04 ERA) is starting in Beckett's place on Sunday though Daniel Bard (5-6, 5.24 ERA) could be be called upon to make a spot start if he starts showing progress in Triple-A. | | |
| 6/16/2012 4:40:00 PM |
Description: Boston starter Josh Beckett, who is expected to miss 1-2 starts with right shoulder inflammation, has been placed on the 15-day disabled list. | Insight: Beckett is 4-7 this season with a 4.14 ERA , 1.15 WHIP and 56 Ks in 78 1/3 IP. Certainly not up to expectations. Franklin Morales will make his first start since 2009 in Beckett's place Sunday against the Cubs, though he can be avoided in fantasy leagues. | | |
| 6/15/2012 7:30:00 PM |
Description: Boston starter Josh Beckett is expected to miss 1-2 starts with right shoulder inflammation, according to Alex Speier of WEEI.com. Beckett's shoulder will be evaluated Saturday. | Insight: Beckett will land on the disabled list if it is deemed that he needs to miss two starts. Franklin Morales will make his first start since 2009 in Beckett's place Sunday against the Cubs, though he can be avoided in fantasy leagues. | | |
| 6/15/2012 5:49:00 PM |
Description: Boston starter Josh Beckett has been scratched from his start Sunday against the Cubs with right shoulder inflammation. | Insight: Beckett has improved his performance since he was booed off the Fenway Park mound on May 10 after allowing seven earned runs against Cleveland -- the debacle followed Beckett missing a start with an injury and then playing a round of golf on his off day. Since then, Beckett has made six starts, throwing seven innings in each of them and lowering his ERA from 5.97 to 4.14. Beckett will have tests done on his shoulder, which should give us a sense of how long he'll be out. | | |
| 6/11/2012 10:20:00 PM |
Description: Boston starter Josh Beckett turned in a decent outing on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits over seven innings of work. The Red Sox could only muster one run, so Beckett was charged with his seventh loss of the season. | Insight: Beckett (4-7, 4.14 ERA) has now lost three in a row despite pitching at least seven innings in each of those outings. In fact, Beckett has thrown seven innings or more in each of his last six starts. As has been the case for many of Beckett's starts so far in 2012, the Sox righthander got better as the game went on. All four of Miami's runs were scored in the game's first two innings. We'll see Beckett again Sunday night against the Cubs. | | |
| 5/30/2012 10:46:00 PM |
Description: After putting together three dominant outings in a row, Josh Beckett was a bit shaky Thursday in Boston's 7-3 loss to the Tigers. He gave up 10 hits, four runs and a walk while striking out one. | Insight: It was Beckett's fifth loss of the season. It has been a very up and down year for the Red Sox righthander, but then again, Beckett (4-5, 4.26 ERA) has always had trouble finding consistency. Beckett's next start will come Wednesday against the first place Baltimore Orioles. | | |
