A few days back the Red Sox clubhouse made it known that Youkilis would lose playing time to emerging rookie Will Middlebrooks who is sporting a batting average of .338 his first year in the MLB. Kevin Youkilis has posted a batting average of .225, which is the lowest in his 9 year career. Here is a quote from Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine about Youkilis in April
