Jon Lester's fairy-tale story appears to have reached new heights.

The left-hander has agreed to a 5-year, $30 million extension with the Red Sox, according to a Yahoo sports report on Sunday. Boston reportedly holds a $13 million option for 2014.

Lester was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma during his rookie season in 2006. He was declared cancer-free later in the year.

He returned in 2007 to appear in 12 regular-season games. The 25-year-old was on the postseason roster and ended up getting the win in the World Series-clinching Game 4 in Denver against the Rockies.

Lester broke through last season, going 16-6 with a 3.21 ERA in 33 starts. He surpassed 200 innings and, more importantly, his velocity returned to his pre-cancer mid-90s mph level.

Los Angeles Angels starter Ervin Santana made his first All-Star team and garnered Cy Young consideration last season, but following that up became difficult on Sunday.

The right-hander has an elbow injury, and the Angels will shut him down, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"We don't anticipate it will be something that will set him back for an appreciable part of the season, but we're going to take it slow," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, according to the newspaper. "We're going to get a better read as we move along, but from where we are now to the start of the season, it's going to be a stretch."

Santana underwent an MRI, but the results were not immediately available.

Santana felt elbow tightness after one inning of an intrasquad game on Tuesday. On Sunday, he said that "Everything is good," according to the newspaper, but he still will likely not be ready for the opener.

Santana, who signed a four-year, $30 million contract at the start of camp, went 16-7 last season with a 3.49 ERA. He finished sixth in balloting for the Cy Young Award. He struggled in his only start of the postseason, a Game 2 loss to the Boston Red Sox in the American League Division Series.
