Red Sox Youkilis, Drew Scratched Against Indians

BOSTON (CBS) - The Boston Red Sox will be without Kevin Youkilis and JD Drew who were both late scratches in their series finale against the Indians Wednesday afternoon.

Youkilis will get the day off to rest his ailing left hand, which is sore after diving and knocking down a grounder in the seventh inning in Tuesday night's 4-2 win. Drew Sutton will take Youk's spot at third base and bat ninth.
