Youk Begins the Road Back

Kevin Youkilis played the first of two rehab games last night for the Paw Sox.

"I feel good. I’m just excited to get out there and start playing some more baseball," he said. "Hopefully everything goes well the next two days and I’ll be back in the [Red Sox] lineup on Wednesday. I’m slowly getting back. These next two days will help me get back in baseball shape. A lot of times you try to work out off the field and rehab, but it’s not the same as getting the spikes on and getting in the dirt."

He went 0-2 with a walk last night and will play DH in his next game.
