Status of Reggie Smith a question in Boston
The status of outfielder Reggie Smith was uncertain as the Boston Red Sox prepared for an afternoon game with the Oakland A s. Smith underwent extensive x rays and knee checks by orthopedic surgeons, with doctors reporting the ailments that caused him to walk out of last Friday's game are not serious. Manager Ed Dieckasko said Smith can play when he feels ready but will not return until fully healthy. The Sox end their homestand with three weekend games against Kansas City.
