Worth noting

• Craig was out of the Red Sox's starting lineup on Saturday against the Yankees after going 1-for-4 in his debut on Friday night.

"In that final at-bat last night, he turned his ankle a little bit when he hit the bag," Farrell said. "The plan was for [Daniel] Nava to be in the lineup today, regardless. This will give a day or so for him to address some of that."

• While recently acquired utility man Kelly Johnson remains on the 15-day disabled list, the Red Sox expect him to play in rehab games on Tuesday and Wednesday. He's eligible to join the team on Thursday in St. Louis.

"I didn't even consider the possibility I would be going anywhere," Johnson said. "When you're on the DL, you're a little bit under the radar. But, at the same time, it always happens when you least expect it. It's the second time I've been traded, and I did not expect it either time. So that's how it goes."
