Craig Breslow is likely ready to make his return. A good thing, too, given the inconsistencies shown by the Boston bullpen of late.

A remarkably dull day for the Sea Dogs, who had backups and system fillers galore.

Sean Coyle said he could have played on Friday. I'm inclined to believe him given what he did in his actual return. This leaves him with nine homers and a .789 slugging percentage through 17 games played. He had nine homers in his full 116-game season last year.
