After back spasms forced Red Sox right-hander Josh Beckett out of the game without throwing a pitch on Sunday, the team says Beckett should be ready for Opening Day.
Beckett was supposed to be with the team on their season-opening trip to Japan, but manager Terry Francona says it's not the end of the world if he's not ready at that point.
"He doesn't want to miss anything. He just needs to feel better. We'd be doing him and our ballclub a disservice for him to go out there and try to pitch when he's not supposed to -- and then he'll miss more time. When he's ready, he'll be ready."
