Jon Lester is ready for the Sox rotation but they are taking thier time with him!!!!
Jon Lester allowed one run over five innings in a minor league rehab start Thursday at Triple-A.
Lester set down the first 11 batters he faced, before eventually allowing one run on five hits and a walk. He struck out just one batter, but needed only 65 pitches to record 15 outs. Lester now has a 1.62 ERA in 16 2/3 innings at Pawtucket, but the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox "are expected to use the full 30 days to let him build arm strength."
