J.D. Drew, Jason Varitek Return to Red Sox Lineup Against Trevor Cahill, A’s

Jason Varitek and J.D. Drew  are set to return to the lineup on Saturday as the Red Sox look to continue to rebound against Trevor Cahill and the Athletics at Fenway Park.

Josh Beckett will take the hill for the Red Sox, in what looks to be his second consecutive duel of potential AL Cy Young candidates.

Last weekend, he dropped a 3-0 decision to Detroit's Justin Verlander. Now, he is going up against Cahill's 6-3 record and 2.31 ERA. Oakland, though, have lost four consecutive games in which their ace has been the starter.

Full lineups are as follows. First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m..
