Just when the Red Sox thought J.D. Drew would be able to return to the lineup - again - he had another setback.

After Boston 7-0 victory over the Blue Jays Friday night at Fenway Park, Red Sox manager Terry Francona admitted the club's right fielder had another injection in the "point of tenderness and not an epidural" near Drew's herniated disk and will miss the rest of the series.

Drew also learned yesterday that his grandmother passed away, so he'll return home and meet the team in Tampa.

"He didn't have a really good day," Francona said.

Originally, Drew was going to play in one of the two games of today's doubleheader, but his back "grabbed" at him again.
