O'Neill (finger) isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Finger inflammation caused O'Neill to be scratched from the lineup prior to Friday's game, and he'll take another day off Saturday as he continues to recover. Rob Refsnyder will receive another start in right field and bat fifth.

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.

O'Neill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making his return to the Red Sox on Saturday following a two-week absence due to a lower leg infection, O'Neill started each of the past four games but went just 2-for-15 with two walks against eight strikeouts. O'Neill's spot in Boston's everyday lineup still appears to be secure, but he'll get a chance to regroup Wednesday while the Red Sox close out their series in Houston. Rob Refsnyder will replace O'Neill in left field and will bat fifth.

O'Neill started in left field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill, who missed time due to a leg injury, was reinstated off the injured list and immediately back in the field. He'd been out since Aug. 2, first due to a stomach illness then the leg.

O'Neill (leg) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill wasn't initially expected to be made available for the weekend series against Baltimore after landing on the injured list with an infection in his lower leg. However, his has recovered faster than expected and will be available for Boston as the Red Sox make a final push towards the postseason. O'Neill is slashing .268/.357/.544 with 22 home runs and 45 RBI over 342 plate appearances this season.

O'Neill (illness) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Red Sox manager Alex Cora had said previously that it was unlikely O'Neill would return before the end of this week, but evidently the outfielder is coming along more quickly than anticipated. O'Neill hasn't played since Aug. 2 due to a leg infection but is with the Red Sox in Baltimore and has been ramping up his baseball activities.

O'Neill (lower leg) rejoined the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday but is not expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before the end of this week, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Neill is eligible for activation Wednesday, but he resumed baseball activities Tuesday after recovering from a lower leg infection and will need more time to build back up. He will travel with the team on its road trip which begins Thursday and could be activated next week in Houston if all goes well.

The Red Sox placed O'Neill (illness) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to an infection in his lower left leg, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old hasn't seen the field since Aug. 2 due to a stomach virus, but he'll now require a stint on the injured list due to a leg infection. O'Neill will be eligible to return during the middle of next week, and the Red Sox expect him to be available at that point.

O'Neill (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Kansas City, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
A stomach virus has now caused O'Neill to miss five consecutive starts. The Red Sox have a scheduled off day, so O'Neill will look to return to action when the club returns home to Boston this weekend to host the Astros. Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Rob Refsnyder will patrol the outfield for the Red Sox on Wednesday.
