Manager Jack McKeon told The Miami Herald that Beckett (sprained elbow) won't return until late June or early July. Beckett, who has been on the DL since May 9 because of an elbow sprain, was expected back next week. He threw 22 pitches off the bullpen mound Tuesday and said he felt good, but McKeon told the newspaper that Beckett needs to take his time and "get himself right."

I read somewhere else that Beckett himself felt he could return mid June, but the team wants to take it slow. Good idea not to listen to Beckett, since he hid the pain from them for a month!
