Baseball: Bosox leave Wakefield off roster vs. Angels

Manager Terry Francona said today that the goal was to get Wakefield healthy enough for later in the playoffs, should the Red Sox advance.
Wakefield (17-12) threw today, but did not feel good.
The Red Sox instead will carry a third catcher, Kevin Cash, who played 12 games this season after being called up in mid-August. Francona said the move would give the Red Sox more flexibility to make substitutions.
