08/12/2008 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Indians traded pitcher Paul Byrd to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations Tuesday.
Byrd, 37, was 7-10 with a 4.53 earned run average in 22 starts with Cleveland this season, but the right-hander has gone 4-0 with a 1.24 ERA in four starts since the All-Star break.
The veteran righty will likely take the spot in Boston's rotation vacated by the injured Tim Wakefield. The Red Sox announced last weekend that Wakefield will be placed on the disabled list with tightness in his right shoulder. He was scheduled to start Tuesday against the Rangers.
Boston will be the seventh stop of Byrd's career, having spent time with the New York Mets, Braves, Phillies, Royals and Angels. He has compiled a 104-91 record in 330 games -- 242 starts.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
