Mike Carp (foot) was placed in a walking boot after fracturing his foot.
Carp will be in the boot for a week, followed by at least another week of rehab before he begins baseball activities. "We're still a little ways away before he's back to us," said manager John Farrell. Daniel Nava has been recalled from Triple-A Pawtuckett and should split time with Brock Holt at first base in Carp's absence, at least until Mike Napoli (finger) returns.

Carp has been sore the last couple days after being hit on the foot by a pitch Tuesday. He was able to pinch-run Thursday, so it's no surprise that he's back in there Friday.

Making his first start since May 4, Mike Carp went 2-for-4 and drove in a run on Thursday.
Even with Daniel Nava gone, the Red Sox have found no room for Carp in their lineup or even really off the bench; he's made just two pinch-hitting appearances in three weeks. He's certainly deserving of more action, and perhaps the Red Sox will begin playing him a bit more in left field if Jackie Bradley Jr. stays cold.

Mike Carp went 1-for-4 and drove home a pair of runs in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.
Carp lined a two-run single off Matt Thornton in the seventh inning that pulled the Red Sox to within 6-4, but that would be as close as they'd come. He was also thrown out inexplicably attempting to steal, ending the Red Sox rally in the seventh. While he has considerable power, his fantasy value is limited to AL-only formats unless he starts to receive consistent playing time.

Mike Carp will undergo an MRI on his lower back Sunday.
Carp was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to some lower back tightness. He was able to enter the game late as a defensive replacement, but he's obviously still not feeling too well. A clearer picture on his status will be known following Sunday's exam.

ESPN's Jayson Stark reports that the Astros have been calling teams in an effort to acquire a first baseman.
Their list of targets includes Mike Carp of the Red Sox, John Mayberry, Jr. of the Phillies, and Tyler Moore of the Nationals. Still, Stark calls them all "unlikely fits." It will be interesting to see if Houston develops as a possible match for Ike Davis, who is reportedly back on the trade block.
