Boston’s Roger Clemens, sidelined because of a sore right shoulder since Sept. 4, has been given medical clearance to pitch Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Clemens, 20-6 with a 1.98 earned-run average, first suffered severe tendinitis Sept. 4 when he was able to pitch only 5 1/3 innings and his eight-game winning streak was ended by Oakland.

The Blue Jays won a coin flip for the right to be the home team if a one-game playoff against Boston is needed to decide the American League East title.
