Kevin Youkilis’ Future Difficult to Consider With Third Baseman’s Value Uncertain After Injury

Kevin Youkilis looked pretty good in his first rehab start for the Pawtucket Red Sox, and the third baseman's quick return to the lineup would be a positive sign for a Red Sox team that's struggled for them sometimes.

He also touched on Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford's progress in recovering from injuries, Mark Melancon's future with the major league team and much more.
