The team was originally planning on having Adams face live hitters in a rehab game Monday, but apparently has decided that facing hitters in batting practice Friday is enough. Adams has been on the disabled list since May 10 due to a back strain. 

Middlebrooks was placed on the disabled list due to back spasm. Iglesias is expected to play third base Friday against the Indians, according to The Boston Globe. 

Aceves has been successful in four starts at Triple-A Pawtucket, as he owns a 3.13 ERA and 1.9 K/BB over 23 innings. Look for him to act as a long reliever for Boston.

Middlebrooks was initially listed as day to day with the injury, but appears to have suffered a setback prior to Friday's game. 

Victorino has not played since Monday. He ran sprints and other drills Thursday, but apparently his response to the workout wasn't positive enough to avoid the disabled list. He will be eligible to return June 4.

Phelps was up while Nick Swisher was on paternity leave. He is 0 for 9 in four games this season. 

"Overall, it went very well," general manager John Mozeliak told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Garcia will rehabilitate and recover over the offseason, and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp next season. Garcia was found to have these injuries last season, but opted to avoid surgery in favor of rehabilitation and strengthening, but the issue came back last weekend.

He finished the season with a 3.58 ERA in 55 1/3 innings. He went 2-5 in nine starts. 

Swisher last played on Monday. Expect him to jump right back into Friday's lineup. He's hitting .274/.382/.493 in 146 at-bats.

As pitching coach Dave Righetti told the San Jose Mercury News, shutting Vogelsong down might be a blessing in disguise, after he struggled to a 7.19 ERA in his first nine starts.

"It’s a hell of a way to get rest," Righetti joked. "We didn’t know if the WBC was going to hurt him or help him. But at his age, we also knew there weren’t a lot of opportunities for him to get that shot at doing that. It’s a hell of an honor for a guy who missed out on a lot in his career."

Righetti also said that it appeared as if Vogelsong was on the verge of turning things around, before suffering the injury that will require surgery. He also noted that the team has not decided who will take Vogelsong's place in the rotation.
