VIDEO: Beckett has tingling, numbness in fingers



Yahoo! is also reporting that Beckett will not make his next scheduled start, this Saturday in Toronto:

Beckett is experiencing numbness and discomfort in his right hand and his next start has been pushed back three days until Tuesday, when the Red Sox start a three-game series with the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

Missing a start against the Blue Jays may be a blessing in disguise for Beckett, who has lost four of his last six starts overall. He has struggled against Toronto this season, including a disastrous showing Sunday in which he gave up eight runs before being pulled with one out in the third inning.

Beckett is 0-2 against the Jays this year with a 16.71 ERA, managing just seven innings in two starts.
