Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse for the Boston Red Sox, this happens.

According to Dan Roche of WBZ-TV in Boston, Jason Varitek will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a broken foot.

A major league source tells WBZ-TV’s Dan Roche Thursday night that Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek could miss 4-6 weeks due to a leg injury. It’s believed that it may be a broken foot.

I must say this. After posting, the original link from Rochie on my Facebook, Kim Campbell told me that she saw Varitek at his putt-putt tournament tonight and looked fine.
