Ross finally lands on disabled list: The Red Sox have placed outfielder Cody Ross on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, retroactive to Saturday, reports WEEI.com. Ross was originally expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to a navicular fracture in his left foot, but the team found out Tuesday he won't need that much time. Ross has reportedly felt much better and the second opinion stated the injury isn't as bad as originally feared. “Worst-case, it’s not as bad as we thought it was yesterday,” Bobby Valentine said. “At best case, it’s much better. But at worst case, it seems like it’s a couple of weeks, not multiples.” (Updated 05/22/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Ross joined fellow outfielder Ryan Sweeney as Boston players going on the disabled list on Tuesday. The team recalled Scott Podsednik in a blast-from-the-past move. The Red Sox outfielders continue to drop like flies. First it was Carl Crawford. Then it was Jacoby Ellsbury. Now Ross joins Sweeney, Darnell McDonald, Jason Repko and Ryan Kalish as Red Sox outfielders on the shelf. The good news is that Ross won't be out 6-8 weeks. The bad news is that we're unsure just how long he will actually miss at the moment. Ross can be stashed in deeper mixed Fantasy leagues. (Updated 05/22/2012).
05/22/2012 11:47 Report: Red Sox recall Scott Podsednik
How does Scott Podsednik find his way back to the majors for the first time since September 9, 2010? Being in an organization with six -- soon to be seven -- outfielders on the disabled list helps. That's the situation in which the Red Sox find themselves, and it has reportedly cleared the way for a Podsednik promotion, as Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that is indeed what has happened.

05/19/2012 20:58 Transition to rotation has included bumps (and walks), but Bard deserves a chance
Daniel Bard said he "knew it was going to be a tough transition" from the bullpen to the starting rotation, and it's starting to show. Bard has lost three of his last four starts, and his walk totals are raising some alarms. But the Red Sox seem committed to Bard in the rotation, and they should be.
The Red Sox signed Cody Ross to a one-year contract and he'll likely be used off the bench, giving the outfield starters an occasional rest. Ross hit just .240 last season for the Giants, but did smack 14 home runs with 52 RBI and 25 doubles over 405 at-bats. Ross has been a reliable right-handed bat during his big league career and he's probably best known for playing the role of hero and helping the Giants win the World Series two years ago. The 31-year-old Ross should see a boost in average and power hitting in Fenway Park in 2012. That said, he's destined to play from the bench. Unless Ross takes off, he's going to be no more than a low-end Fantasy option in AL-only leagues. (Updated 2/13/12)
