Staff Writer BOSTON -- Garret Anderson's slow recovery from conjunctivitis conjunctivitis (kənjəngtəvī`təs), inflammation or infection of the mucosal membrane that covers the eyeball and lines the eyelid, usually acute, caused by a virus or, less often, by a bacillus, an allergic reaction, or an concerned the Angels enough to have the outfielder undergo a CT scan CT scan: see CAT scan. See CAT scan. of his head in Boston on Friday. Team doctor Lewis Yocum confirmed that the CT scan took place, saying its purpose was to find out if a sinus infection or any other kind of similar illness was delaying Anderson's recovery from his current right eye infection. Nothing out of the ordinary was found and Anderson was back in the starting lineup For the line of action figures, see . A starting lineup in sports refers to the set of players actively participating in the event when the game begins. The players in the starting lineup are commonly referred to as starters, whereas the others are substitutes and batting in the cleanup spot Noun 1. cleanup spot - (baseball) the fourth position in the batting order (usually filled by the best batter on the team) cleanup position, cleanup just as he was in the opener of the American League Division Series There was no change in Anderson's outward appearance as his eye continued to look swollen and aggravated. "Well, it looks puffier and puffier, but his vision is getting better and better," Scioscia said before Friday's game. "He had an eye exam today and his vision is fine. He'll be in the lineup." Scioscia said nothing more than Anderson saw an eye specialist Friday and took an eye exam. But he did admit to having a discussion with Anderson regarding his ability to play. Anderson was quoted after Wednesday's game saying his eye "is not where it should be." "Well I just talked to him about making sure he was OK, that I had heard that maybe it wasn't (OK), and he assured me he was fine to see," Scioscia said. "I think his vision is fine or he wouldn't be playing." All wet: The Angels were greeted by a soggy track Friday when they arrived at Fenway Park. After Thursday's workout, the Fenway Park grounds crew saturated the infield dirt. The Angels' Gary Matthews Jr., who is not on the roster for this series but was working out with the team before the game, said it wasn't the first time the Angels have experienced a wet infield. Matthews said the same thing was done at both New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of and Texas this season. The idea is that a damp, heavy infield will neutralize the Angels' running game. "You're allowed to tailor some part of your field to your club," Scioscia said.

But I didn't see anything here to make me think (anything)." Morales at DH spot: Kendry Morales, a switch hitter, got the call over right-handed hitting Juan Rivera as the Angels' designated hitter. The Angels were facing Red Sox right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka in Game 2. The DH spot opened up when Vladimir Guerrero pronounced himself fit enough to return to right field, where he hasn't played since Sept. 4 because of a sore right triceps triceps, any muscle having three heads, or points of attachment, but especially the triceps brachii at the back of the upper arm. One head originates on the shoulder blade and two on the upper-arm bone, or humerus. . Meanwhile, back in Anaheim ... : Red Sox pitchers Curt Schilling and Josh Beckett got an early start on their travel to Southern California. Both were flying to Orange County during Game 2 on Friday. Schilling will start in Game 3 Sunday in Anaheim, and since Beckett would not be used no matter what happened in Friday's game, he was allowed to leave early as well. Scioscia said that there was a thought of sending Angels Game 3 starter Jered Weaver home early, but that he stayed with the team and flew back on the charter flight after the game.
