Description: Boston starter John Lackey allowed five runs in seven innings Thursday against the Twins, but only one was earned. | Insight: It was a strong start otherwise, as Lackey allowed six hits, walked one and fanned eight. The Red Sox made two errors behind him. Lackey has been effective so far, posting a 2.82 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP and a 24/7 K/BB in 22 1/3 innings. | | |

Description: Boston starter John Lackey returned from a biceps strain with a win against the Astros on Sunday. He walked two, struck out four and allowed five hits and one run in six innings. | Insight: Lackey suffered the injury in his first start of the season, which also happened to be his first start since 2011. He had a 4.40 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP in 2010 and a 6.41 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP in 2011 so he won't be a reliable fantasy option. | | |

Description: Boston righthander John Lackey will return to the Red Sox rotation on Sunday after making just one rehab start. | Insight: Lackey has been sidelined for the last couple of weeks because of a biceps strain but he'll be on the mound Sunday for the series finale against Houston. It's tough to recommend Lackey in fantasy leagues when he's only made one major league start in the last two seasons. | | |

Description: As expected, Boston righthander John Lackey will return to the Red Sox rotation after making just one rehab start. SOURCE: Brian McTaggart, MLB.com | Insight: Lackey has been sidelined for the last couple of weeks because of a biceps strain but he'll be on the mound Sunday for the series finale against Houston. It's tough to recommend Lackey in fantasy leagues when he's only made one major league start in the last two seasons. | | |

Description: Red Sox starter John Lackey (biceps) could be activated from the DL to start Sunday against the Houston Astros. SOURCE: Ian Browne, MLB.com | Insight: Lackey suffered a biceps strain in his first start of the season after missing all of 2012 following Tommy John surgery. The Astros would present an extremely favorable matchup Sunday. | | |

Description: NESN's Jenny Dell reports that Red Sox righthander John Lackey will throw four innings or 65 pitches Monday in his rehab start for Double-A Portland. | Insight: Lackey, who was DL'd because of a biceps strain earlier in the month, is expected to rejoin the Boston rotation after just one start, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback in Portland on Monday. Alfredo Aceves will head back to the bullpen upon Lackey's return. | | |

Description: Boston starter John Lackey (biceps) is expected to make a minor league rehab start Monday with Double-A Portland, according to Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal. | Insight: Lackey suffered a right biceps strain in his first start this season, but he has thrown twice this week without issue. He missed all of last season following Tommy John surgery and posted a 6.41 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 160 innings in 2011. | | |

Description: Boston starter John Lackey has been moved to the disabled list. He suffered a strained bicep in his season debut Saturday against the Blue Jays. | Insight: With Franklin Morales also unavailable (injured back), the Red Sox will turn to Alfredo Aveves Thursday against Baltimore. Aceves has been awful this season (10.38 ERA in 4 1/3 innings) and shouldn't warrant any fantasy consideration. | | |
| 4/6/2013 2:50:00 PM |
Description: Red Sox righthander John Lackey left Saturday's game with Toronto due to a right bicep injury. | Insight: He was making his first start since September 2011 after having Tommy John surgery. Even at his best Lackey never won 20 games, struck out 200 batters, or posted a WHIP under 1.21. This probably doesn't change any fantasy pitching rotations. | | |
| 11/4/2012 3:29:00 PM |
Description: The Angels could be interested in acquiring Red Sox righthander John Lackey according to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo. | Insight: Yes, Lackey has had success with the Angels in the past (he spent the first eight seasons of his career in Anaheim), but he was terrible in 2011 (6.41 ERA in 28 starts) and didn't pitch at all last season because of Tommy John surgery. The Angels were trying desperately to get rid of Dan Haren and his bad contract this past week. Why would they want to take on another one? Unless the Angels are able to convince the Red Sox to take on Vernon Wells' similarly horrendous contract, trying to deal for Lackey wouldn't make much sense. | | |

Description: Red Sox SP John Lackey says nothing is wrong with his arm, but the results might tell a different story. Lackey was shelled again Monday in the Boston Red Sox's 9-7 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.
SOURCE: USA TODAY | Insight: Lackey is having the worst season of any starter in the major leagues at 5-8 with a 7.47 ERA, the highest ERA by any qualified starter. The Blue Jays jumped on Lackey for seven runs and nine hits in 2'?" innings. | | |
| 6/22/2011 8:12:00 PM |
Description: John Lackey only lasted 3 1/3 innings and gave up five run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres. | Insight: Lackey should be avoided in most formats until he can prove he can still get it done | | |
| 5/25/2011 8:25:00 AM |
Description: Red Sox SP John Lackey, who was struggling and in pitching in pain before finally going on the disabled list with a strained elbow, completed a bullpen session without trouble Tuesday. He remains on schedule to rejoin the Red Sox rotation in less than two weeks.
'I felt pretty good,' Lackey said. 'It's a step in the right direction. I was able to let it go a little bit. I wasn't feeling the same kind of bite in the elbow I felt before.'
SOURCE: Yahoo Sports | Insight: When Lackey returns he is best used in AL-only leagues or as a spot starter in deeper mixed leagues. | | |
| 5/16/2011 7:27:00 PM |
Description: The Boston Red Sox have placed right-hander John Lackey on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right elbow.

Description: John Lackey allowed nine runs and nine hits over 6 2/3 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Bluejays. | Insight: Lackey isn't fooling anyone as of late and should be benched until he can figure things out. | | |
| 5/5/2011 3:49:00 PM |
Description: John Lackey gave up eight runs on 10 hits in four innings today against the Angels. | Insight: Lackey's ERA is now 7.16 and he has been brutal in stretches. I would only own Lackey in deep AL only leagues. | | |
| 4/20/2011 5:53:00 AM |
Description: Red Sox SP John Lackey allowed just 1 run over 6 innings but took the loss as Boston could not score a run against the A's. Lackey gave up just 4 hits and walked 1, striking out 3. | Insight: This was, by far, Lackey's best outing of the season and he deserved a better fate. For fantasy purposes, you should really see a few more starts like this before you trust him in anything outside of the deepest AL-only leagues. | | |
| 4/8/2011 3:53:00 PM |
Description: Red Sox SP John Lackey allowed 6 runs in 5 innings against the Yankees. He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 2. | Insight: Lackey has struggled in his starts so far this season and should be benched until he can string together a few solid starts. | | |
