ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Boston Red Sox right-hander Clay Buchholz could have his next start pushed back at least a couple days. Buchholz, 9-0 with a 1.71 ERA this season, left his start Saturday in the seventh inning in the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader with what the team called "neck tightness." Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated that Buchholz may not be ready to throw his normal between starts bullpen session on Wednesday. His next scheduled start is Friday. "I think over the next couple days well get a better read on when his next start will line up," Farrell said before Monday nights game against Tampa Bay. "But most importantly he feels improvement over yesterday." Buchholz said he didnt plan to throw for the second consecutive day Monday. "I want to be out there ... I want to help the team," Buchholz said. "Me, going out there at 80 per cent is not going to help anybody because theres going to be an apprehension of me throwing a pitch. Id rather take care of it now." Also, the Red Sox reinstated third baseman Will Middlebrooks from the 15-day disabled list. Sidelined by a lower back strain, Middlebrooks was in the starting lineup for Mondays game with the Rays. With Middlebrooks back, Jose Iglesias, who had been filling in at third, will move into a utility role. Farrell said Iglesias should play at least three times a week on the left side of the infield. "Will is healthy, hes back and in the lineup," Farrell said. "Jose knows that hes got a bright future here and hes earned his way to remain on this roster rather than go back down to Triple-A." Iglesias entered Monday with a 13-game hitting streak, hitting .435 (20 for 46) over the stretch. "Of course you want to play, but bottom line Im happy to be here," Iglesias said. To make room on the roster, Boston designated infielder Pedro Ciriaco for assignment. "I think there will be a lot of interest in him," Farrell said. "Hes a good player, and hes done a good job while here in Boston."

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Last season the Trail Blazers were all about defying expectations. This season they want to build on them.We did great things last year, now its time to prove it up, guard Damian Lillard said. Its time to show that what we did -- thats who we are, thats what were capable of as a team, and we can do better.On Monday, the Blazers had their first official gathering, although many players stuck around Portland to work out during the summer. The team also took a bonding trip to San Diego earlier this month.Portland went 44-38 last season despite losing four starters to free agency the previous summer. The team got the fifth seed in the Western Conference, then beat the injury-depleted Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.The Blazers ran into the Western Conference champion Warriors in the second round. After dropping the first two games in Oakland, California, Portland won the third at home and lost the fourth in overtime. Golden State closed out the series with a nail-biter in Oakland.We dont have a reason to be complacent about last year. We didnt win a championship, Lillard said. The team was put together, and we come together to win it all. Sure, we did some good things last year, but we didnt do what were here for.Lillard averaged a career-high 25.1 points in the regular season, becoming the third Portland player ever to average more than 25. He also averaged 6.8 assists.Backcourt teammate CJ McCollum averaged 20.8 points in his first year as a starter, giving the Blazers their first backcourt duo with an average of 20 or more points apiece in a single season. He was named the leagues Most Improved Player.This summer, McCollum signed a four-year contract extension worth $106 million that will keep him with the Blazers through the 2020-21 season.McCollums deal was part of a busy offseason as the Blazers sought to secure their young prospects and create depth.ddddddddddddForward Meyers Leonard is staying in Portland with a four-year, $41 million deal signed in the offseason. Still rehabbing from shoulder surgery in March, Leonard said he should be able to participate in 5-on-5 drills by Oct. 8, although he may not be in game shape.Maurice Harkless, who filled a key role when Leonard was injured, also signed a four-year contract with the Blazers worth a reported $40 million. Over Portlands final 11 games, Harkless averaged 12 points and 6.5 rebounds.The Blazers also brought back Allen Crabbe, a restricted free agent, matching a four-year, $75 million offer from the Brooklyn Nets. Other returnees for the Blazers include Al-Farouq Aminu and Mason Plumlee.Portland signed free agent forward Festus Ezeli and wing Evan Turner and traded to get guard Shabazz Napier and rookie forward Jake Layman.Turner agreed to a four-year, $70 million contract at the start of the NBAs free agency period. Last year with the Celtics, the 6-foot-7 wing averaged 10.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists as Bostons sixth man.I thought it would be advantageous to my game, Turner said about signing with the Blazers. Portland is a hot spot right now, players keep getting better and better.Ezeli, who played last season for the Warriors and averaged seven points and 5.6 assists, had a procedure on his left knee in August and was ruled out for at least six weeks. He said Monday he has been cleared to run.Ezeli was able to go with the team to San Diego, a now-annual trip to bring the players together and work out. The trip south was started by Lillard and McCollum in 2015.I always knew they were cool guys and they had good chemistry, Ezeli said. But I didnt know the team was this tight. ' ' '
