Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz has a stress fracture in his lower back, according to a report on Comcast Sports New England.

Sunday night, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein hinted that the club did not expect good news after Buchholz visits Watkins on Monday.
"Clearly, we have some concern for Clay," he said. "It's been a couple of months now, which is longer than we expected it to be. We're still awaiting some more feedback and another opinion. I think we have a feel for what might be going on, but Clay is seeing another expert [Watkins] to get his opinion and then we're all going to put our heads together this week.
