Will be out Friday night 9/16 as well:



BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona announced after Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays that third baseman Kevin Youkilis will not be in the lineup for Game 2 of this series on Friday.

It's obvious Youkilis is hurting and is still bothered by the bursitis in his hip and the sports hernia he's been dealing with. He was in Thursday's starting lineup and was able to play six innings, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, but he was replaced by Mike Aviles in the top of the seventh inning.
