Red Sox slugger Kevin Youkilis has left Boston's game against the Los Angeles Angels after fouling a ball off his left shin in the first inning.

Youkilis was hurt shortly before grounding into an inning-ending double play Thursday night.

Jed Lowrie moved over from shortstop to replace Youkilis at third base, and Marco Scutaro replaced Lowrie while taking over for Youkilis in Boston's cleanup spot.

Youkilis entered the opener of a four-game series against the Angels batting .218 with three homers. He had just his second multihit game of the season Wednesday in Oakland.
