Following his latest ugly outing Sunday there was speculation that Boston would remove Jon Lester from the rotation, but instead the Red Sox will keep him on schedule to start again Saturday and simply adjust his between-starts routine a bit.
In what manager Bobby Valentine called ?a nice proactive plan? Lester will prepare for Saturday?s start by throwing a simulated game Wednesday instead of his usual bullpen session.
Not only was Sunday?s start the worst of Lester?s career with 11 runs in four innings, he?s allowed 22 runs in 12.1 innings over his last three starts and now has a 5.46 ERA in 120 innings overall.
Valentine told Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe that Lester insists he ?feels great and is throwing the ball as well as he?s thrown the ball in a couple of years.? Saturday will be a helluva test for that, as Lester will face the Yankees, in New York.
