just speculation right now.

Per Rotoworld:

Josh Beckett left tonight's game after six innings with an apparent finger injury.
Beckett's skin tear apparently opened back up while he was warming up to pitch the seventh inning. He gave up one hit in six scoreless innings before leaving, but now it remains to be seen whether he'll pitch again before the All-Star break. Jun. 30 - 11:40 pm et

the announcers said it was not a blister problem so who knows....

Oy vey not again

They just said on ESPN Radio that it was not a blister, only a precaution since it was his first start back and the rain delays.

That's very surprising to hear, the way they were examining it when they were out on the mound. I thought the announcers were just spinning it. That's great news for his owners.

He also appeared to be messing around with something in the finger area in a dugout shot during the bottom of the 4th.

If there isn't some recurrence of the problem, I'll be amazed.

By the way, how 'bout Estrada's LOUD F-bomb that got him tossed! About the clearest I've ever heard over the airwaves, lol.

According to CBS Sportsline...

Josh Beckett, SP FLA

News: Josh Beckett left Thursday's game against the Braves due to his blister problem. He opened the skin while warming up before the seventh inning and was removed.

Analysis: Beckett had allowed only one hit in six scoreless innings before departing. It appears as if he will be sidelined again to let his injury heal properly - likely until after the All-Star break.
