The last thing the Red Sox need is another health setback, but it looks like that's exactly what they're facing, as Josh Beckett has reportedly been scratched from his start on Tuesday due to illness against the San Diego Padres at Fenway Park.
Alfredo Aceves, who is 3-1 with a 3.30 ERA and 24 strikeouts, will start in place of Beckett, according to CSNNE's Sean McAdam.
