Down Goes Youk

First it was Pedroia, now it's Youk who's injured and out of the WBC. Kevin Youkilis will not return to Team USA for the remainder of the Classic:

"a mild left ankle sprain, as well as mild Achilles tendonitis in his left foot."

MRIs taken on both problems were negative. The Sox said Youkilis "will wear a walking boot for the next several days but is not expected to miss significant time."

This should add a little fuel to the "is the WBC worth it?" fire.
