O'Neill was scratched from the Red Sox lineup for Friday's game against Arizona with left fourth finger inflammation, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill is dealing with finger swelling in his left hand and it's unclear how the injury came about. Still, the issue doesn't appear to be anything long-term and he can probably be considered day-to-day. Rob Refsnyder replaces him in left field and will bat fifth.
