John Farrell on prospect Betts: 'He's not looked upon as the savior of the Red Sox'

The Boston Red Sox are desperate for offense and have called up prospect Mookie Betts in an attempt to inject some life into the lineup.

Manager John Farrell, however, wants to make sure he doesn't put too much pressure on the 21-year-old call-up.

Betts arrived in New York in time for tonight's clash with the Yankees, but won't be in the starting lineup until Sunday.

That means Betts likely won't have to face Masahiro Tanaka in his big-league debut, which is probably a good thing.
