Josh Beckett is expected to start for the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

He pitched five innings on Tuesday in an intra-squad game, and Manager Terry Francona hopes to start him against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

"I talked to him after," Francona said on Tuesday. "More likely than not, he's going to probably pitch that last game in Toronto. I want to sit with Theo and John and Josh together. There's no reason to have that conversation until he has his work after the start. But everything's fine."
