    Boston Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis has played through discomfort in his left hip ever since he hurt it sliding in an attempt to break up a double play in Baltimore back in April. Some days have been worse than others, and he also hurt his back, which finally placed him on the disabled list last month.

    Now, the hip has flared up again, to the point where Youkilis returned to Boston from Toronto on Friday and underwent an MRI. According to manager Terry Francona, the test showed Youkilis has bursitis in the hip, for which he received an injection of anti-inflammatory medication. Depending on how he feels Saturday, Francona said, Youkilis will either rejoin the team in Florida or await its return to Boston after the weekend.
