Hunter Jones joins Sox; V-Mart talks about catching Beckett
By: Carlson Mozdiez

Red Sox reliever Hunter Jones arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday. Presumably, he's being added to the bullpen to add length with Michael Bowden unavailable for tonight's game. Terry Francona said that Jones was told to keep throwing after the Triple-A season ended in case this situation came up.
 

Victor Martinez had the following to say before he caught Beckett for a second time last night: "He has some great stuff. It's way more fun to catch a guy like him than face him." Martinez went on to say that "I didn't think [the Toronto start] was that big a deal. … It was one of those days." Francona said that Martinez is catching Beckett because "we're trying to cover everything."
 

Anthony Lerew is scheduled to start for KC in the series finale on Thursday. Also, the Red Sox would like Tim Wakefield to make his next start on Tuesday against Toronto. Finally, there will be no baseball...
