The pitcher underwent a medical procedure to clean out the finger on Sunday, Farrell said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"This was a freak one,\" Farrell said. \"And honestly, he avoided some serious injury with what took place. He cut himself with a fishing knife. He was at home when it took place, he was trying to cut through something and when it gave way, almost cut through his left index finger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He's going to be 'no-throw' for three days and then initiate a throwing program off the mound,\" Farrell added. \"It's his non-throwing hand, so he can keep his arm in shape.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner was 12-5 with a 4.17 ERA in 2013, including 4-1 with a 4.04 ERA in 10 starts after he was traded to Boston from the White Sox. He was 0-1 with a 7.11 ERA in three postseason starts, but the Red Sox still won the World Series.\n&lt;strong&gt;SI WIRE: University of South Carolina fined $25K after students storm court&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
