Scott Atchison will try to rehab the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

There's no timeline for his return and it's possible he may end up needing surgery if his rehab effort fails.

Scott Atchison (forearm) had a setback in his latest rehab appearance with Triple-A Pawtucket. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but any setback is a concern. Atchison is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine whether or not he's dealing with structural damage.

Red Sox placed RHP Scott Atchison on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 14, with right forearm tightness. It's not considered serious, but the Sox have decided to play it safe with the veteran swingman. Atchison should be ready to return at the end of the month.

Red Sox designated RHP Scott Atchison for assignment. He was cleared in order to make room for Cody Ross on the team's 40-man roster. Atchison, who turns 36 in March, posted a 3.26 ERA and 17/6 K/BB ratio over 30 1/3 innings last season. There's a chance he'll slip through waivers unclaimed.

Red Sox declined RHP Scott Atchison's club option for 2012. Atchinson would have earned $40,000 over the major league minimum. He's still on the club's 40-man roster, however, because he's arbitration eligible. Expect Boston to non-tender him. The 35-year-old right-hander is out of options. He went 1-0 with a 3.26 ERA over 30 1/3 innings in 2011.
