BOSTON _ Red Sox shortstop Julio Lugo, who was placed on the disabled list on Saturday with severe quadriceps tear in his left leg, will begin his rehab process by just resting.

"He did it pretty good," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "We need to give him the All-Star break to do nothing. Then [medical staff] will do the things they do to quicken the healing process, but that won't be until we get back."

Lugo was clearly disappointed with the timing of this injury and he's been sporting a brace on his leg.
