Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux won't be the Boston Red Sox manager.

"Mike Maddux has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Boston Red Sox managerial position and therefore will not interview with the team tomorrow," general manager Ben Cherington announced in a statement released by the team Monday afternoon.

Cherington told ESPNBoston.com that Maddux cited "family reasons" for withdrawing as a candidate.

Maddux, 50, the older brother of former Cubs and Braves great Greg Maddux, pitched for 10 teams in a 15-year career in the majors. He was the Brewers' pitching coach for six seasons and has been in the same role with the Rangers the last three seasons.

Maddux's withdrawal leaves Cleveland Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. next up to interview for the Red Sox job. He is scheduled to visit Fenway to meet with Red Sox brass on Wednesday. Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin and Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Dale Sveum have already been interviewed for the position.
