Boston Red Sox

Lester scratched tomorrow

Jon Lester will miss his scheduled start tomorrow, Globe baseball writer Nick Cafardo told NESN during today’s pregame show. Lester will be sent back to Boston for tests on his back. The young pitcher was involved in a fender-bender a week ago Friday on Storrow Drive, but there is no word on whether the issues are related. Kason Gabbard will start in his place.
