Boston Red Sox right-hander Josh Beckett threw 40 pitches in a three-inning, simulated game on the back field at City of Palms Park on Friday.

Beckett missed his scheduled start on Thursday. He experienced mild concussion symptoms after being hit in the left temple on Monday by an errant ball while shagging flies in the outfield during batting practice.

Beckett is expected to make his next start on Tuesday. The Red Sox have split-squad games that day against the Astros at home and in Jupiter, Fla., against the Cardinals.

Beckett is coming off a disappointing 6-6 season in which he had a 5.78 ERA with 45 walks.
