    I got the info from the Red Sox web site injury report. It says May at the earliest: "INF Adalberto Mondesi (torn right ACL) Expected return: May at earliest Mondesi estimates he is running at 80-85 percent. He is participating in all baseball activities. The infielder estimated that he will...

    Red Sox AAA depth

    Why not put Mondesi on the 60day IL? He is out for at least a month.
