Wells struggles in rehab stint

[CrespoBlows]

David Wells pitched for the Pawtucket Red Sox tonight. He didn't look very sharp, going five innings, allowing seven runs on six hits. He struck out one, but walked three batters.

 

So, does David Wells need another rehab start?

Would the schedule allow a 4-man rotation while he makes one more rehab start?

We do have a Monday off, so it's possible. But I don't think Wells needs it THAT much.

They play 13 straight days from April 11-23. Boomer is scheduled to start on the 12th, so they either go with him, or give it to DiNardo against the Jays. I don't think using Papelbon as the spot starter is a good idea until Foulke and Co. (Riske, Seanez, Tavarez) show they don't need a 25 y/o to carry them.
