Kevin Youkilis was removed from Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to lower back stiffness. Youkilis did not come out to first base for the bottom half of the sixth inning.
Youkilis lined a two-run single to left field in the top of the fifth inning, and there were no signs of any pain or discomfort.
With another game tomorrow afternoon on the turf at Rogers Centre, it is likely that Youkilis will be given the day off. Let it be said that once they leave Toronto, the team will travel to Tampa Bay to play three more games on a turf field.
Kevin Youkilis dealt with some back problems last year and appeared in 122 games for the Red Sox and White Sox.
