NOMAR ON THE DL
Story

That's not good news. We got Reese and Bellhorn though. Maybe we can play Kapler at third and move Mueller to second. Potential lineups:

1 CF Damon
2 2B Mueller
3 LF Ramirez
4 1B Ortiz
5 DH Burks
6 RF Millar
7 3B Kapler
8 C Varitek
9 SS Reese

Not a bad lineup considering two starters are out.
