Sandoval out with upper respiratory illness

BOSTON -- On Tuesday, Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo busted out the laundry list of injuries and illnesses and did some proper tidying up of the status on some of his players.

A day after Pablo Sandoval was sent home with what was then deemed an "illness," it was announced that he has been diagnosed with a significant upper respiratory illness.

"He is going to be down for a couple of days," Lovullo said. "He's seen the doctor. He's beginning to take some medication. He's not here right now, he's at home recuperating and getting some rest.
