As Julian Tavarez flounders at 1-2 with a 7.58 ERA, the [tag]Boston Red Sox[/tag] are keeping a close watch on the rehab starts of [tag]Jon Lester[/tag]. With a few more positive minor league starts and once his pitch counts reach 100, we may see the Red Sox shake up their rotation. Lester had a very solid start Saturday evening in Pawtucket.
“Once Lester is ready, it looks like he’ll take over the reigns as the number five guy in Boston’s rotation. That’ll push someone down to Pawtucket. I could foresee Kyle Snyder getting the demotion, as Joel Pineiro and JC Romero may be more valuable at this point in the season. Julian Tavarez will become the long-man in the bullpen.”
