Cook to start Saturday for Beckett

This explains the Mortensen call-up. With Tazawa optioned, the Sox need another bullpen arm. Cook won't be available to pitch even if he's added to the roster today. So they'll wait until Friday night/Saturday AM, option Mortensen back down, and purchase Cook's contract.

Repko DFA or Crawford to the 60-day DL are the most likely scenarios to clear a 40-man spot for Cook.

Don't they also need to get someone off the 25-man? Middlebrooks for Anderson, who goes down for Mortenson? Iglesias? A lot of moving parts, so I might have missed something.

Lars went down last night after the game.

Now, for Middlebrooks, they'll need another move.
