Red Sox to give OF Tyler O'Neill time off to rest ailing knee

CHICAGO -- Boston outfielder Tyler O'Neill is going to rest for a couple days before the Red Sox decide on a possible return to the injured list for his ailing right knee.

Manager Alex Cora said O'Neill will sit out this weekend's games the Chicago White Sox. The team is off on Monday, and it is hoping to have him back in the lineup Tuesday against Philadelphia.

"If we can take advantage of the next three days and avoid the IL, that's what we're gonna do," Cora said.

O'Neill was activated from the 10-day IL on Wednesday after being sidelined by right knee inflammation.
